Mant people will have mora time for 

 gardening next summer and less money 

 to speqd at the grocer's. 



Papeb will have to make a greater de- 

 cline than seems imminent before seeds- 

 men will enlarge their catalogues again. 



Thb seed trade preceded other lines 

 in feeling the present depression and, 

 being past /the nadir, is finding a more 

 optimistic ^ne.

T. E. Johns, a director and formerly 

 an active member of the Sioux City Seed 

 Co., Sioux City, la., died December 7, at

 this issue. 



Since the death of Maurice Fuld, mar- 

 keting of Melrosine has been carried on 

 imder the name of the Garden Chemical 

 Co., New York, by one of the other indi- 

 viduals financially interested in this prod- 

 uct, the head of the Sigmund Ullman 

 Co., one of the biggest printing estab- 

 lishments in New York. 



The 1920 production of Icspedeza seed 

 is expected to be about ten per cent less 

 than that of last year, because of a 

 smaller acreage harvested and a slightly 

 decreased yield per acre. The quality of 

 the seed probably will be good, because 

 most of it was harvested and considerable 

 has been threshed under ideal weather 

 conditions. 



The provisions of the revised seed law 

 for the state of New York are discussed 

 in a recent publication of the experiment 

 station, at Geneva, and directions given 

 regarding seed testing and the submission 

 of samples for testing by the station. 

 Bulletin No. 476, containing detailed in- 

 formation regarding the labeling and test- 

 ing of seed, may be had free of charge 

 upon request. 



The supply of velvet beans for seed 

 purposes depends on the quality of the 

 beans rather than on the size of the crop. 

 The quality of the 1920 crop is excellent. 

 The carryover of 1919 crop seed velvet 

 beans by a number of shippers and deal- 

 ers is large. The quality of these for 

 planting purposes will depend upon the 

 manner in which they are stored and other 

 factors which might affect germination. 



"a supply of carpet grass seed for com- 

 mercial distribution several times larger 

 than that of any previous year has been 

 harvested in Louisiana and Mississippi. 

 Most of it is produced in East Feliciana 

 parish, La., and smaller quantities in ad- 

 joining parishes in Louisiana and south- 

 west Mississippi. The quality of the new 

 crop seed is fair to good, depending 

 largely upon the precautions taken by 

 growers to prevent heating and molding 

 while curing. A heavier demand than 

 normal has been manifested for this seed
