VEGETABLE SEED ACBEAGE. 



The prospective commercial acreage 

 of vegetable seed crops for 1920 is given 

 in the table below. These figures are 

 based on reports received by the De- 

 partment of Agriculture from commer- 

 cial vegetable seed growers and are as 

 accurate and complete as it is possible 

 to obtain at this time. 



Compared with last year, marked re- 

 ductions are noted in the acreage re- 

 ported for dwarf snap beans, all beet, 

 carrot, lettuce, onion seed, radish, 

 spinach, sweet corn and tomato seed, 

 while a slightly increased acreage is re- 

 ported for garden pole beans, cucumber, 

 muskmelon, watermelon, parsley, pep- 

 per, pumpkin and Swede turnip seed. 



The estimated prospective production 

 for 1920 from the acreage reported has 

 been computed on the basis of the aver- 

 age yield per acre for the 4-year period 

 1916-1919. J'igures showing the com- 

 mercial production for 1919 are given 

 also for comparison,
