 retur.v-trcaHiiror, C. E. Kendel, Clevelnnfl. O. 



TuE usual ridicule of the free seed dis- 

 tribution occupies the newspaper editorial 

 writers of the country. Free seeds have 

 no friends save in the House of Repre- 

 sentatives. 



The official roster of Wm. Henry Maule, 

 Inc., Philadelphia, is: President, M. H. 

 Maule; vice-president, Charles P. Maule; 

 treasurer and general manager, Edward 

 C. Dungan ; secretary, E. Maule Thomp- 

 son. 



A TOTAL of 10,800,000 tons of grain 

 and oil seeds, valued at 1,792,500,000 

 pesos, were exported from Argentina 

 during 1920, La Razon estimates. The 

 same exports in 1919 totaled 6,770,000 

 tons. 



The Williams Seed Co., Norfolk, Va.. 

 has engaged Edgar S. Bryan as head of 

 the sales force to travel in the southern 

 states. Mr. Bryan has been connected 

 with the seed trade for over twenty years 

 and for the last fourteen years has been 

 a member of the traveling force of the 

 oldest seed firm in America, the 1). Land- 

 reth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa. Mr. Bryan 

 has specialized in selling to market gar- 

 deners and dealers, and the Williams 

 Seed Co. is doing a large business of this 

 sort from Virginia to Florida. 



IRISES IN CALIFORNIA. 



Growing at the home grounds of tlie 

 H. A. Hyde Co., Watsonville, Cal., are 

 over 50,000 Iris tingitana and one-third 

 of a million named Spanish irises for 

 propagation. They are growing nicely 

 and M'ill make a wonderful display dur- 

 ing the blooming period. This is a valu- 

 able and interesting planting at this 

 time, when the importation of irises is 

 ]irohil)ited. Tlie company's calla fields 

 have long been famous show places, 

 where in season half a million Godfrey 

 callas can be seen in flower and great 

 fields of Calla irthiopica and the golden 

 vellow Calla Elliottiana. 



NO SURPLUS IN FLOWER SEEDS. 



"Inquiries regarding flower seeds be- 

 gan coming in unusually early this 

 year," rejiort .Tamos Vick's Sons, 

 Rochester. X. V.. "and by the first of 

 January tliere w;is a large volume of 

 this kind of mail. Tnimediatoly after 

 the issuing of our first catalogue, which 

 is our aster bool\, orders began arriv- 

 ing in unusual quantity and trade for 

 the month of .January is considerably 

 ahead of the same period last season. 

 Basing our estimates on records of past 

 years as compared with the record of 

 the month of .Tanuary, we predict an 

 unusually gond season for the seed 

 trade, particulaily for the flower seed 

 trade, which always opens up a little 

 earlier than the vegetable seed business, 

 although we anticipate an equally large 

 demand for the latter branch. 



"With regard to stocks, there seems 

 to be an anijde supply of vegetable 

 seeds for any ordinary demand and we 

 regret that the same is not true of 

 flower seeds. Many varieties of flower 

 seeds are exceedingly scarce and there 

 is little surplus in any variety. We, 

 ourselve.'!, had a good crop in all late 

 and main crop asters, but, owing to un- 

 favorable weather during the early part
