NEW EARLY-FLOWERING or WINTER-BLOOMING 



Giant Pansies 



An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advantage 

 of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the extrem" 

 earliness of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables them V 

 withstand quite severe winters, and to bloom right on into the summer. 

 Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin flowering the early par; 

 of March, or as soon as the snow is off the ground, many times having four 

 or five large flowers to a plant, when all other Pansies are only showing 

 buds. The flowers are large, well formed and fragrant. They are highlj 

 recommended for Autumn planting on graves, and for very early bedding, 

 as well as for early cut flowers.

Carl Barto, for many years superin- 

 tendent of the seed department of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, 0., 

 has resigned his position with that com- 

 pany to take charge of the new depart- 

 ment. Mr. Barto entered the trade 

 when a schoolboy, working Saturdays 

 and during his vacation in the seed de- 

 partment of the Storrs & Harrison Co., 

 under the supervision of W. H. Nichols. 

 He was later the assistant of W. F. 

 Therkildson, whose place he took a few 

 years ago, when Mr. Therkildson went 

 to the W. Atlee Burpee Co., Philadelphia. 

 Mr. Barto is a nephew of both Eobert 

 George, general manager of the Storrs 

 & Harrison Co., and J. E. Barto, who is 

 in charge of that firm 's shipping depart- 

 ment. He left Painesville June 3 to 

 take up his new duties. T. J. M. 



TBEE SEEDS, NOT SERVICE. 



Though the agricultural appropriation 

 "bill passed by Congress for the fiscal 

 year beginning July 1, 1920, is approxi- 

 mately $6,000,000 less than the estimates 

 of the Department of Agriculture and 

 $2,185,000 less than the amount provided 

 for the current fiscal year, the House's 

 insistence that $239,000 be expended for 

 free seeds conquered the Senate's oppo- 

 sition and the department's urging that 

 this item be discontinued. 



Among the branches of the depart- 

 ment's service which are to be curtailed 

 is that of the bureau ef crop estimates 

 and of the bureau of market reports. 

 Seed reporting has shrunk already to 

 a corner of a page in the department's 

 weekly publication and rarely includes 

 more than the market quotation on for- 

 age crop seeds. The disappearance en- 

 tirely from the department's weekly 

 bulletin of seed reports will not occasion 

 great regret among the trade. But 

 the inability of the Department of Agri- 

 culture to be of the material assistance 

 it might be to seedsmen, while nearly 

 a quarter of a million dollars is spent 

 for so useless a purpose as free seeds 

 for congressmen to send to their unin-

That Congress, not the Department of
