Recent reports from aster seed grow- 

 ers in Oregon indicate the almost total 

 loss of the 1920 crop as a result of the 

 lieavy rainfall in September and October. 



The official roster of Randall-Mc- 

 Loughlin, Seattle, Wash., is: President, 

 Ralph B. Randall; treasurer, Thomas F. 

 McLoughlin; secretary, Vernon II. Nivi- 

 son. 



SoT'THERX California growers have 

 had to contend with one of the longest, 

 coldest and wettest springs on record, but 

 nature at length is smiling on them once 

 more. Tlie break in the weather came 

 early in February. 



iSOME seedsmen evidently liavo not felt 

 the need to economize on paper and print- 

 ing, for mailing lists have not been 

 pruiu'd. For instance, The Review has 

 received more than one cojiy of several 

 hooks, tlie record to date being held by 

 May Seed & Nursery Co., Shenandoah, la., 

 wliich has sent four copies of its 1921 

 general catalogue, two being received in 

 each of two envelopes.
