ground. The leaves tf winter raipft* are 

 thick and succulent, free from hairs, 

 and covered with a grayish bloom. The 

 leaves of turnip rape are thin, hairy 

 and bright green like those of the 

 garden turnip. 



Persons purchasing rape seed may 

 submit samples to the Seed Laboratory, 

 TJ. S. Department of Agriculture, Wash- 

 ington, D. C, for determination as to 

 whether the seed is that of the turnip 

 rape or winter rape. Samples of both 

 turnip rape and winter rape seed, for 

 comparison, will be sent on application 

 to the Seed Laboratory. 



THE TEXAS ONION CROP. 



The Texas onion crop of 1916 is esti- 

 mated to cover 10,057 acres, as com- 

 pared with 8,943 acres in 1915, an in- 

 crease of about twelve per cent. The 

 condition of the crop April 1 is esti- 

 mated as fifty-five per cent of normal, 

 which forecasts a yield of about 192.5 

 bushels per acre, or a total production 

 of 1,935,972 bushels, the equivalent of 

 4,200 cars of 4«0 bushels each. In 1915 

 the shipments amounted to about 4,607 

 cars. 



Laredo, in Webb county, has about 

 42.8 per cent of the total acreage, 

 which, other things being equal, would 

 give 1,799 cars. The percentage of con- 

 flition for the county is slightly higher 

 than that for the state, however, and 

 it is probable that at this time the 

 prospect in Webb county is for not less 

 than 1,900 cars.

EASTER WEEK 



During Easter week florists 

 can get an idea of what the 

 flower business would be at all 

 times if it were properly ad- 

 vertised. People buy more flow- 

 ers at this particular time simply 

 because Easter has been adver- 

 tised in connection with flowers 

 for so many years. But there 

 is no good reason why they would 

 not buy as heavily other times 

 if they were properly solicited 

 by advertisements. Out of 10,000 

 florists in the United States and 

 Canada not more than 1000 ad- 

 vertise at all, and out of the 

 1000 not over 200 know how to 

 do it right. The reason why we 

 are interested is because the 

 larger and more profitable the 

 florist business is, the larger and 

 more profitable our business is 

 bound to be. Progressive florists 

 must consume large quantities of 

 lily bulbs to meet the popular 

 demand, and they will need 

 Horseshoe Brand bulbs because 

 they yield more profit than any 

 other brand sold. Think it over 

 —advertise your business; and 

 when you want good lily bulbs 

 get Horseshoe Brand Giganteum.
