SEED IMPORTS FBOM BOMBAY 



Figures from a late bulletin of the 

 United States Department of Commerce 

 covering trade with Bombay, British 

 India, are of interest as showing the 

 development of commerce between this 

 far eastern province and the United 

 States. 



Although there was an increase in the 

 value of most articles on the list, that 

 of castor beans alone accounted for 

 $1,984,006 of the $2,213,738 gain. Cer- 

 tain of the items entering into this trade 

 and their declared value are listed be- 

 low, the quantities being measured in 

 pounds, except in the case of castor 

 beans, which are in bushels.

HOW TO MAKE A 0ATAIX>OUE. 



Secretary Adolph Kruhm, of Beck- 

 crt's Seed Store, Pittsburgh, Pa., has fol- 

 lowed his booklet, "The Reason Why," 

 and his Victory garden catalogue with a 

 third publication which is designed es- 

 pecially for "Pittsburgh's Patriotic 

 Home Gardeners," a compilation which 

 is ornamental as well as thoroughly prac- 

 ticaL 



Speaking of the practical uses of such 

 publications a few days ago, Mr. Kruhm 

 said: "For some time I have felt that 

 the usual presentation of subjects in 

 the average catalogue is wrong. Nor 

 do I believe that a discussion of the 

 subject according to the botanical re- 

 lationship of the various vegetables and 

 flowers is the ideal solution of the pres- 

 ent problem of making the seed cata- 

 logue more interesting. For this reason 

 I have disregarded every precedent and 

 arranged the vegetables according to
