Except for some shortage of help, the 

 situation in the seed trade is fairly com- 

 fortable. 



The early catalogues are producing a 

 good immediate response; orders are con- 

 siderably ahead of last January, per- 

 haps due to the less severe weather this 

 year. 



Comparing the price of S. & S. C, 

 stock with the cost of coated papers, and 

 comparing the printing results obtained, 

 a larger number of catalogues than ever 

 before are found to have been printed on 

 the coated papers this season. 



At a dinner at a famous London res- 

 taurant, December 18, with 190 persons 

 present, the seed firm of Hurst & Son, 

 Houndsditch, celebrated its seventy-fifth 

 anniversary. The house has many con- 

 nections in the United States. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 O., reports a brisk business in every de- 

 partment. The seed departments, both 

 wholesale and retail, are getting into line, 

 preparing for early sowings. Indications 

 are that the season will equal last year's. 



It was on December 16 that the British 

 government granted permission to the 

 trade to import 10,000 cases of lily bulbs 

 from Japan. In spite of the lateness of 

 the season, it was expected to get the 

 stock. England admitted no lily bulbs 

 in 1917 or 1918. 



Seed houses of Dallas, Tex., which re- 

 port a satisfactory business for the year 

 of 1918, are making plans for a larger 

 demand in 1919. Local weather and soil 

 conditions are regarded as favorable for 

 crops of quality and the organizations 

 of these concerns are in better shape for 

 handling a large volume of business than 

 ever before. Private laboratories for 

 scientific analyses to test the purity and 

 germinating qualities of seeds have been 

 installed at considerable expense by sev- 

 eral seed companies, to insure that seed 

 shipped may be of dependable character. 

 In view of the demands made upon the 

 United States for food supplies for Eu- 

 rope, it is estimated that the increase in 

 the seed trade will amount to thirty to 

 forty per cent of last year's sales. 



BABTELDES' FIBE LOSS.
