AMZEIOAK SEED TBADE ASSOCIATION. 

 PrMldent, H. O. Haatlngs, AtUnU, Oa.; wc- 

 Mtarj-treainrer, 0. B. Kendel, OleTeland, O. 



Leo E. Zimmerman, of Los Angeles, 

 Cal., who has a nursery at Paso Kobles, 

 is contemplating growing seed at Atasca- 

 dero, Cal. 



F. B. Dawsox, foiiiicrly United States 

 representative for Coo])or, Tabcr & Co., 

 Ltd., London, England, lias severed his 

 connection with tliat firm. It is the desire 

 of the eoinjiany to have any cominunica- 

 tions sent direct to Ijondon, where they 

 will receive jironipt attention. 



Fn-TY-FiVK cases of lily of the valley 

 pips arrived at New York, December 27, 

 on the steamer H. Luckenbach, consigned 

 from Ilanibui-g to Maitus & Ware. On 

 the same shi|) were ."ISl bags of garden 

 seed, consigned to order, and ll;") sacks 

 of grass seed, sixty-five sacks consigned 

 to the Irving Xational bank and fifty 

 sacks to order. 



No improvement in the movement of 

 clover and alfalfa seed during the last 

 thirty days was indicated by recent re- 

 ports received by the United States bu- 

 reau of markets. The movement to date 

 ^las been much below normal and the 

 growers are still holding most of the 1920 

 crop and may continue to do so unless 

 prices strengthen materially. 



Practically no movement of amber, 

 orange and sumac sorgo seed from grow- 

 ers had taken ])lace up to last week. Al- 

 though a larger acreage than last year 

 was cut for seed and better yields per 

 acre were ex])ected. many are of the opin- 

 ion that only a small percentage of the 

 crop will be thrashed unless ])rices are 

 raiseil. Little seed has been thrashed, and 

 some liiindles are alreaily being fed to 

 stock. Tlie (piality of sorgo and Sudan 

 grass seed is normal and fully equal to 

 that of last year. Scarcely any Sudan 

 grass seed has moved except that con- 

 tracted for by seedsmen last spring. 

 Much of the seed, as in the case of the 

 sorgos, ])robably will not be thrashed un- 

 less jirices go higher. The size of the 

 1920 crop, together with the carryover, 

 doea not seem to point to much higher 

 Sudan grass seed jtriccs. 



VEGETABLE SEED PRODUCTION. 



Smaller in 1920. 



Tlie a^^gregate <Minimercia 1 ]iroducti(in 

 of vegetable seed in the United .States 

 in 1920 is the smaHest since 1917, ac- 

 cording to rc^jKirts submitted by com- 

 mercial vegetalile sccil growers to, and 

 estimates by, tlie l)ureau of markets of 

 the United States Dejiartment of Agri- 

 culture. The ]>r(iduction of garden 

 beet, cabbage, carrot, lettuce, onion, 

 radish and salsify seed is reported 

 smaller tiian for any of the last four 

 years. On the other hand, there are 

 some increases, foremost among which 

 are garden peas, with an estimntc^d jiro- 

 dnction of 87.r. 10,000 i)ounds, wliii'li is 

 seventy jier cent larger than the recent 

 average annual production. 



A record production is shown for gar- 

 den pole beans, while tiie proiluction of 

 onion sets is doulde that of 1919 and al- 

 most equal to the high record of 191 S. 

 .\mong the vine cro]is, rej>orts show that 

 the production of cucumber seed is 

 twenty-fi\e j>er cent less than last year.
