C. W. Scott, of the Yokohama Nursery 

 Co., New York, has been making a west- 

 ern trip, to meet Mrs. Scott, who is on 

 her way home from San Francisco. 



Now while the state legislature is in 

 session and the customary number of seed 

 bills are appearing, T. W. Wood, of Eich- 

 mond, Va., is busy trying to "extract the 

 teeth. ' ' 



The official roster of the National 

 Seed Co., Louisville, Ky., is: President, 

 J. Wm. Jefferson; vice-president, Henry 

 T. Jefferson; treasurer, Hal T. Jeffer- 

 son; secretary, Lewis S. Jefferson. 



Malmo & Co., one of the oldest seed 

 and nursery houses at Seattle, Wash., has 

 been forced by the increase in business 

 to secure larger quarters. A store on 

 Fourth avenue, almost directly across 

 from the old location, was taken the first 

 of this month. 



While business is apparently in line 

 for imj)rovement, collections grow worse 

 in the seed trade. Henry C. Anthony, 

 Portsmouth, R. I., who grows seeds for 

 wholesale, thinks the trade as a whole is 

 actually falling behind in the practice 

 of prompt payment, an unfortunate retro- 

 gression in any industry. 



L.\ST season the Holland bulb salesmen 

 met trouble nearly everywhere when call- 

 ing on customers of the year before, but 

 they fixed tilings up one way or another 

 and got their orders. This season the bulbs 

 are coming along much better and there 

 are practically no complaints, but it is 

 not much easier to get orders. 



The total quantity of certified seed po- 

 tatoes produced in 1921 is approximately 

 1,530,000 bushels, according to reports 

 submitted to the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture by certifying agencies in the 

 sixteen states carrying on this work. This 

 is about sixty per cent more than the 

 total quantity certified of the 1920 crop 

 and, with the possible exception of New 

 York, each state contributed to the in- 

 crease. 



AccoRDiNo to official reports, the Dan- 

 ish seed acreage in 1921 included 1,500 

 acres of mangel, 2,441 sugar beet, 1,922 

 Swede turnip, 2,132 English turnip, 297 

 carrot, 593 cabbage, 109 cauliflower, 257 

 other cabbage seeds, 319 other garden 

 seeds, 1,609 red clover, 1,124 yellow tre- 

 foil, 1,186 other legumes, 24,060 orchard 

 grass, 3,585 English rye grass, 2,874 

 Italian rye grass, 5,851 meadow fescue, 

 1,001 brome grass, and 872 acres other
