Imports of seeds and bulbs during 

 the. first thirteen months of enforcement 

 of Quarantine 37 are given on another 

 page of this issue, under the heading, 

 ' ' One Year of Quarantine. ' ' 



The second report of the joint com- 

 mittee on vegetable nomenclature from 

 the American Seed Trade Association and 

 the Vegetable Growers' Association of 

 America appears on page 21 of this issue. 



Not over fifteen per cent of the 1920 

 crop of sweet clover seed has been sold 

 by growers. They are pooling much of 

 their aeed for sale later, when they hope 

 that more interest will be displayed by 

 seedsmen in this commodity. 



California seed growers, preparing to 

 take the road in quest of 1921 growing 

 contracts, are not in buoyant spirits. 

 The readjustment of production costs has 

 not progressed far enough for them to 

 quote prices in line with the present mar- 

 ket. Indications do not point to a large 

 acreage under seed crops in California 

 in 1921. 



SEED ANALYSTS MEET. 



Annual Sessions at Chicago. 



The thirteenth annual meeting of the

 a business session and was called to

 After the reports of the secretary-
