CATALOGUES BEC£IV£D. 



Sadie A. Thomaa, Pasadena, ' Cal. — Tenth an- 

 lual catalogue of chryganthemums; illustrated, 

 thirty- two pages and cover. "We list the largest 

 collection on the Pacific coast," says the pro- 

 prietor. She states, further, that "all plants are 

 •and-rooted cuttings," from outdoor-grown stock. 



McCallum Co., Pittsburgh, Pa. — A large, well 

 printed, fully illustrated folder, offering florists' 

 supplies, such as wreaths, baskets, vases, plant 

 stands, cycas, moss, lycopodlum and other mate- 

 rials. "You will find here," says the company, 

 "a specially prepared list of spring money-mak- 

 ers and staple trade-producers." 



MOBE SEED FI.AX THIS YEAR. 



Considerably more seed flax than 

 usual sh'ould be planted this year, says 

 the Depar^;ment of Agriculture^ . At 

 least 2,000,000 acres, the department be- 

 lieves, should be sown, almost wholly 

 in the four principal flax-producing 

 states — Minnesota, North Dakota, South 

 Dakota and Montana. Last year 's acre- 

 age was only 1,683,000 and, owing to 

 unfavorable conditions, produced an ex- 

 tremely light yield of seed, only about 

 9,000,000 bushels. 



The normal consumption of flaxseed 

 in the United States for the manufac- 

 ture of linseed oil and other products 

 and for resowing is about 28,000,000 

 bushels a year. Average production for 

 the laet seven years has been less than 

 half that much. 



Because of the short supply and gen- 

 eral high prices, together with high 

 freight rates from Argentina, the price 

 of flaxseed has been extremely high dur- 

 ing the last year, ranging up to $6 a 

 bushel. 



. Argentina is harvesting a large crop 

 and will have from 30,000,000 to 40,- 

 000,000 bUshels of seed for export, much 

 of which will be available for use in the 

 United States, but ocean freight rates 

 from Argentina apparently insure a fair 

 price for flaxseed grown in the United 

 States. 



The limiting factors, aside from the 

 weather, in the sowing of flax this 

 spring are likely to be seed supply and 

 ability of farmers to finance sowing. 

 The 1919 crop was of such poor quality 

 that much of it is not fit for seed. Even 

 where good seed was produced many 

 farmers were forced to sell because of 

 the failure of other crops. The avail- 

 able supply is short, therefore, and will 

 be high in price. Some flaxseed can be 

 obtained from northwest Canada and 

 will be entirely suitable for the flax- 

 growing regions of the United States. 

 It is not safe, the department warns, to 

 sow Argentine seed. 



Thorough preparation of the land and 

 sowing under as favorable conditions as 

 possible are highly desirable, in view 

 of the high price of seed. The best date 

 for seeding, generally speaking, is dur- 

 ing the first half of May. On well-pre- 

 pared land, under favorable conditions, 

 fifteen pounds of seed to the acre may 

 be sufficient, so that, even though the 

 seed is high in price, the acre cost is 

 lower than for other smtJI grain crops.
