The Florists' Review

and in that caso many fields will not be 

 listed that would have been listed this 

 year. He adds: "Our Spanish irises 

 do not s(!ein to have been affected at all 

 and the earlier sorts are now starting 

 their bud sjiikcs. Tingitana also went 

 through without being hurt, so far as 

 we ean see. The miniature, or baby, 

 gladioli had the tops of the leaves 

 browned by the frost, but they are going 

 ahead and seem to have stood it all right. 

 Such items as ixias, scillas, etc., were 

 not hurt. The begonias, gloxinias, etc., 

 are still in the greenhouse, not having 

 been transplanted out; so they are not 

 damaged." 



Mr. Brown 's comments apply not only 

 to his own planting.s, but generally, as 

 he has .iust been in the southern part of 

 the state and interviewed some of the 

 growers there, as well as those farther 

 north, in his own section. 



WOULD AMElTD IMPORT ACT. 



A bill to require the marking of all 

 packages of seeds to show the contents, 

 in a further effort to prevent adultcr.a- 

 tion, has been introduced in the House 

 of Representatives by Representative 

 (!antrill, of Kentucky, as an amend- 

 ment to the seed importation act. 



The Cantrill measure proposes two 

 new sections to this law, ipaking it ille- 

 gal for any person to import or to en- 

 deavor to import into the United States 

 any alfalfa, barley, Canadian blue grass, 

 Kentucky blue grass, awnless brome 

 grass, buckwheat, clover, field corn, 

 Kafir corn, meadow fescue, flax, millet, 

 oats, orchard grass, rape, redtop, rye, 

 sorghum, timothy and wheat, or mix- 

 tures of seeds containing any of such 

 seeds as one of tlie principal component 

 parts, althougli unadulterated and fit 

 for seeding jmrposes, unless the case, 

 box, bag, jKickage, crate, bale, bundle 

 or other cont.uncr shall be plainly and 

 correctly marked to show the nature 

 and quantity of the contents, the coun- 

 try and locality where the same were 

 grown, the n;inic and address of the 

 shipper, or owner shipping or forward- 

 ing the same, and the name and address 

 of the consignee. 



It is further made illegal to ship such 

 seeds in interstate commerce unless 

 jiroperlj' marked. It is specifically pro- 

 vided, however, that nothing in the bill 

 sliall prevent such shipment or delivery 

 for shipment of a mixture or blend of 

 two or more for(>ign seeds or of foreign 

 and domestic seeds, if the description 

 of such seeds on the container is such 

 as plainly to show that such seeds are 

 such a mixture or blend, and the rela- 

 tive proportions of domestic and for- 

 eign seeds and the country or countries 

 where the foreign seeds were grown. 

 The bill authorizes the secretary of agri- 

 culture to make such rules and regula- 

 tions for the carrying out of this provi- 

 sion as he mav deem necessary.
