Every mail this week brings one or 

 two new catalogues. 



The seed selling season has opened 

 strong in the south. 



Deliveries are being made much earlier 

 than last season. It will simplify filling 

 the early mail orders. 



Walter S. Gibney, Greenville, N. C, 

 took out a trade license December 26 to 

 sell garden and flower seeds. 



The Manitowoc Seed Co., Manitowoc, 

 Wis., increased its capital stock Decem- 

 ber 26 from $150,000 to $300,000. 



Several Holland growers have made, 

 or are making, preparations to grow 

 their gladiolus bulbs in the United States 

 hereafter. 



Most of the 1919 seed catalogues show 

 a smaller number of pages than last 

 year, but it is not noticeable that the 

 seed selling quality of the books is di- 

 minished thereby. 



Seed prices are not likely to advance 

 to any important extent beyond last sea- 

 son 's levels, with lower values at spots 

 in the list, but there seems no possibility 

 of an oversupply in any line. 



The Sloan Seed Co., of Stockton, Cal., 

 has leased 5,000 acres of land in the 

 Matoma tract near Sacramento for seed 

 growing purposes. CJIean soil, natural 

 fertility, control of the water supply and 

 a favorable climate were some of the rea- 

 sons given for selection of the site. Peas 

 and flower seed crops are being planted. 

 These seed crops will be followed by 

 beans and milo maize. 



There is some anxiety in the seed 

 trade in Nashville, Tenn., on account of 

 the apparent shortage of cow pea and soy 

 bean seed. There was so much drought 

 that the fields were late in maturing and 

 did not set a heavy crop. Then, when 

 the plants were in the shock and in the 

 stack, there was so much rain that losses 

 were heavy. Most of the seed stocks 

 contain so large a proportion of spoiled 

 seed that they are i^oi marketable. As 

 yet the market has not opened up, so it 

 is impossible to tell just how heavy the 

 shortage is, but it is reasonably sure that 

 seeds will be higher in price than I^st 

 season. As yet the prospect for a heavy 

 crop of turnip and kale seed in this lo- 

 cality next spring is flattering. There is
