January mail orders, especially from 

 the south, make an excellent record 

 compared with last year. 



According to the J. C.'Eobinson Seed 

 Co., Waterloo, Neb., nearly three-fourths 

 of the cucumber seed grown in the United 

 States now is produced in the Arkansas 

 valley in Colorado. 



At Aurora, 111., a new concern is start- 

 ing in the mail order seed business under 

 the name Blair, Harper Seed Co. Ade- 

 quate quarters have been obtained and an 

 edition of 35,000 catalogues is going into 

 the mails for the first season. 



The general magazines carry less seed 

 trade advertising this year than within the 

 memory of many men old in the business. 

 The seed trade's money now goes into 

 special publications, or into special gar- 

 den numbers of the more-or-less general 

 publications. 



J. W. Alexander, of East Bridge- 

 water, Mass., who heretofore has confined 

 his attention to dahlias, will add seeds to 

 his catalogue for 1917. This is thought 

 to be for the purpose of affording appli- 

 cation for the energies of his son, J. Her- 

 bert Alexander. 



The International Forwarding Co., Chi- 

 cago, has been informed by the State De- 

 partment, Washington, that the British 

 Foreign Office has granted its applica- 

 tion for a permit to bring from Hamburg 

 via Eotterdam 3,000,000 lily of the valley 

 pips belonging to H. N. Bruns. 



Nearly a decade ago F. W. Brugger- 

 hof remarked that the ramifications of 

 the seed business had become so wide and 

 the sources of supply so varied that an- 

 other general seed shortage was extreme- 

 ly unlikely. Not even a war involving 

 most of Europe seems likely to bring 

 the accuracy of his observation into 

 question. 



The spring planting number of the Il- 

 lustrated Sunday Magazine distributed 

 as a section in many of the Sunday morn- 

 ing papers January 30, carried an article 

 on sweet peas by George W. Kerr, of the 

 Burpee staff. Also, the House of Burpee 

 had the largest seed ad, a quarter page, 

 in the issue, and the new sweet pea. Fiery 

 Cross, was the subject of the cover illus- 

 tration. The magazine is said to have 

 over two million circulation and Mr. 

 Therkildson thinks the combination of 

 cover, article and ad makes the biggest
