Oar repreaentative will be calling on you 



distant date the inevitable result will 

 be either a shortage of good seed or, 

 what is worse, a supply of dead seed. 



The increasing imports (Table 1), to- 

 gether with the low prices at which im- 

 ported seed has been oflfered (Table 2) 

 during recent mouths and the reluctance 

 with which dealers place growing con- 

 tracts, have caused some of the growers 

 to become more or less concerned re- 

 garding the future of vegetable seed 

 production in this country. It will be 

 noted from the figures in Table 2 that 

 import prices declined steadily and rap- 

 idly during 1919 and the first nine 

 months of 1920, a few items approaching 

 prewar levels. Some marked advances 

 occurred, however, during the last quar- 

 ter of 1920, principally on those seeds 

 of which the domestic production was 

 low. 



BUSINESS EMBARRASSMENTS. 



New York, N. Y. — A petition in bank- 

 ruptcy was filed last week against H. W. 

 Doughtcn, Inc., 59 Pearl street, by the 

 Agros Corp., a creditor on a claim of 

 over $7,000. Judge Mautou appointed 

 Thomas H. Matters, Jr., receiver in 

 $2,000 bond. Liabilities are said to be 

 about $700,000 and free assets are re- 

 ported as about $5,000. 



WHERE MIXTURE MATTERS NOT. 



Weekblad voor Bloemenbollenculture, 

 the newspaper for flower bulb growers 

 published at Haarlem, Holland, contained 

 in a recent issue an interesting decision 

 in the matter of one bulb grower who 

 haled another before the board of arbi- 

 tration. It is the case of D. Nieuwenhuis 

 & Sons, Lisse, against Jacob Van der 

 Deure, of Enkhuizen. (Decision No. 

 664.) 



According to the newspaper, it appears 

 that Nieuwenhuis sold and delivered to 

 Van der Deure, in 1919, a quantity of 

 about thirty bushels of planting stock of 

 Prosperity tulip. In 1920 this stock 

 showed not all true to name, being mixed 

 with Flamingo. The matter was up be- 

 fore the arbitration board, which (De- 

 cision No. 630) ordered that Nieuwen- 

 huis take back all the stock which came 

 out of the growing and deliver to Van der 

 Deure a like quantity of Prosperity true 

 to name. Nieuwenhuis did, it appears, 

 receive back the mixed bulbs, but claimed 

 that during the time of blooming they 

 asked Van der Deure to take out all the
