YOU GROW PANSY PLANTS FOR SALE? 



DOUBLE YOUR PROFIT AND SALES 



BY PLANTING THE 



New Early Flowering Giant Pansies 



They are three to four weeks earlier than other Pansies, in 

 coldframes or field; they have four or five large blossoms, when 

 other Pansies planted at the same time are only showing bud. 

 The richly colored, large, well formed flowers, on long, stiff 

 stems, are very fragrant.

average growing condition of these 

 crops is about eighty-five per cent and 

 a normal yield per acre is in prospect. 



The acreage of squash and pumpkin 

 in Nebraska and other western states is 

 below normal, but the growing condi- 

 tion is excellent. The acreage of these 

 crops in New Jersey is reported to be 

 larger than usual. The watermelon seed 

 acreage in Florida is about the same 

 as last year and the present prospects 

 are for a yield of seventy-five to eighty 

 pounds per acre, which is twenty-five 

 per cent below normal. 



The acreage of seed sweet corn in 

 Connecticut is about fifty per cent of 

 last year, in Ohio seventy per cent and 

 in Nebraska about eighty-five per cent. 

 In Connecticut the condition of the crop 

 indicates a normal yield, in Ohio the 

 condition seems to be spotted and indi- 

 cates yields ranging from 900 to 1,500 

 pounds per acre, while a normal yield is 

 expected from the Nebraska acreage. 



ONION SEED CROP IN CANARIES. 



The onion seed crop in the Canary 

 islands is now being harvested and a 

 few small shipments have already been 

 made. Conditions vary greatly in dif- 

 ferent districts, but it is thought that an 

 average crop of between 60,000 and 

 80,000 pounds will result. 



Onion seed is for the most part grown 

 on the island of Teneriffe and exported 

 from the port of Santa Cruz do Teneriffe 

 by the merchants of that island. Plant- 

 ing is done in October and November 

 and harvesting in June, July and Au- 

 gust. As a groat jiart of the crop is 

 usually contracted for in advaiice, 

 American purchiisors ])l;u'e their orders 

 well aliead of the ]ilaiiting season. Ex- 

 portation to till' United States usually 

 heyins early in July and should l)e com- 

 ))loted soon after the middle of August, 

 so that the seed may veacli the Texas 

 onion growers in time for fall jdanting. 



Contracts for the 1921 onion se(>d cro]) 

 were made on the basis of $1.30 per 

 ))Ound f.o.b. Teneriffe for Yellow Ber- 

 niud.a and $1.7."i jjcr jiound for Crystal 

 Wax. Declared exports to the T'nited 

 States during the year 1920 (including 

 a few small shipments to Porto Rico) 

 amoBiited to 63,014 pounds, valued at
