average of only fifty-four per cent of 

 live seed, and of this the germination 

 of 500,000 pounds averaged but thirty- 

 eight per cent. In other words, enough 

 orchard grass seed was imported to sow 

 20,000 acres and enough crimson clover 

 seed to sow 120,000 acres, none of which 

 could be expected to produce a stand 

 in the field when used at a normal rate 

 of seeding. 



"Dead crimson clover seed can not 

 be effectively separated from live seed, 

 and both the crimson clover and or- 

 chard grass seed were imported at such 

 prices that the good seed in these ship- 

 ments cost more than the best grade of 

 seed on the market at the time. All of 

 this crimson clover seed of low vitality 

 and chaffy orchard grass seed is sold 

 to the farmer without recleaning. While 

 the individual farmer can protect him- 

 self from the use of such worthless seed 

 by having each lot tested before he 

 sows it, such seed should not be allowed 

 to come into the country. Its importa- 

 tion can result only in profit to the 

 dealer selling it and the loss of th© 

 crop to the farmer who sows it. 



Result of One Embargo. 



"The United States annually imports 

 from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 pounds of 

 winter rape seed, most of it coming from 

 the Netherlands. Owing to an embargo 

 placed on the exportation of rape seed 

 by the Netherlands in the spring of 

 1915, seed was imported as rape from

other countries, including France, Ar- 

 gentina and Japan. This has resulted 

 in seed of three distinct plants being 

 imported and sold as winter rape, as fol- 

 lows: (1) Winter rape, a biennial for- 

 age crop with fleshy, succulent leaves, 

 furnishing an abundance of forage the 

 first year and seeding the second year 

 after planting; (2) an oil seed-pro- 

 ducing plant, similar to winter rape 

 in the early stages, but maturing seed 

 in midsummer of the first year of 

 growth; and (3) an oil seed-producing 

 turnip, blossoming the second season 

 after sowing and differing from the 

 common garden turnip especially in 



LILY BULBS 



The best all-round lily 

 bulb to grow is the Horseshoe 

 Brand Giganteum. It is pro- 

 duced under ideal conditions by 

 experienced Japanese growers 

 and with regard to quality 

 there is no other brand to 

 equal it. 



If you are a grower you 

 know how important good qual- 

 ity is in lily bulbs, and so if 

 you want bulbs that will pro- 

 duce fine plants, be sure and 

 get Horseshoe Brand Gigan- 

 teum. 



Send us your name and ad- 

 dress and we will mail you a 

 complete price list of what we 

 have to sell.
