The Florists' Review 



OCTOBBB 23, 1919. 



able that several years will elapse be- 

 fore normal quantities of sugar beet 

 seed will be produced in European 

 countries. American growers, there- 

 fore, depend to a considerable extent 

 upon home-grown sugar beet seed. 



"The present indications are that 

 there is sufficient sugar beet seed, either 

 imported or domestic, now in the hands 

 of nearly all of the beet sugar com- 

 panies in the United States to take care 

 of the entire acreage to be planted to 

 sugar beets in 1920, but that there is 

 little foreign sugar beet seed now avail- 

 able for importation and that the for- 

 eign production in the immediate fu- 

 ture will be limited. 



"The domestic beet seed production 

 is increasing rapidly. In 1918 about 

 6,000 acres of sugar beet seed were 

 grown, while in 1919 upward of 10,000 

 acres were planted to beet roots for 

 seed in the United States. Unfortunate- 

 ly, drought interfered with a normal 

 production of sugar beet seed in some 

 localities this last season, but the re- 

 sulting reduction in yield was local and 

 temporary and should not prevent or re- 

 tard the efforts that are being made to 

 produce in this country an adequate 

 supply of sugar beet seed to meet the 

 American requirement for 1921 and the 

 years following."
