It is reported that it has been decided 

 to liquidate the Luther Burbank Co., San 

 Francisco, rather than attempt to refi- 

 nance it. 



James Vicks Sons, Eochester, is ex- 

 periencing a largely increased demand as 

 the result of the uncertainty of European 

 seed supplies, and at a dinner for stock- 

 holders January 27 it was decided to 

 considerably enlarge the scope of the 

 corporation 's operations. 



News of the water damage to seed 

 crops in California is awaited with in- 

 terest. The floods generally have been 

 outside the big seed-growing valleys, but 

 there has been an excess of moisture al- 

 most everywhere in the southern half of 

 the state. 



A WIRE from the Haven Seed Co., 

 Santa Ana, Cal., February 1, said: 

 "High waters have marooned most of 

 Orange county for several days, but we 

 probably will be receiving and forward- 

 ing mail before this appears in print. 

 Flood waters have done us no damage. 

 The rains have put our fields in excellent 

 condition for our tomato seed crop." 



Advices have been received by the 

 Office of the Foreign Trade Advisers, of 

 the State Department, Washington, to the 

 effect that permits have just been issued 

 by the British Foreign Office in London, 

 guaranteeing the unmolested shipment 

 from Eotterdam of 4,724 pounds of vege- 

 table seeds, valued at $590, from Ger- 

 many, consigned to Henry F. Michell Co., 

 Philadelphia. 



Bert E. Brotherton, formerly a part- 

 ner and general manager of the Penin- 

 sular Seed Co., of Port Huron, Mich., 

 January 1 severed his connection with 

 that concern and will hereafter look 

 after the contracting, inspection, har- 

 vesting and preparation of crops of 

 peas, beans, corn, etc., for the D. Lan- 

 dreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa. Mr. Broth- 

 erton has had many years' experience 

 contracting for crops, principally in 

 Michigan, Wisconsin and adjoining 

 states and in the valleys of the Rocky 

 mountains. He will continue his resi- 

 dence at Port Huron, Mich. 



THE TULIP DUTY DECISION. 



The Court of Customs Appeals has re- 

 versed the Board of General Appraisers 

 in the test case brought by certain im- 

 porting interests in the effort to secure 

 the admission of tulip bulbs at 50 cents 

 per thousand duty, instead of $1 per 

 thousand. Most readers of this paper 

 are familiar with the case. The full 

 text of the decision cutting the rate in 

 half will be found on page 16 of this 

 issue. The decision will stand until 

 Congress amends the tariff law. 



GOVERNMENT SEED AWARDS. 



Awards have just been made by the 

 Agricultural Department of contracts 

 for seeds for the 1916-1917 congres- 

 sional free distribution. Forty Amer- 

 ican firms will supply surplus stock 

 and contract seeds, while two foreign 

 firms will furnish surplus stock, no
