Revision of the duties on seeds and 

 bulbs by tlie Senate finance committee 

 will be found on a forward paj^e of this 

 issue. 



In purchasing vegetable seed, the most 

 important consideration is the reliability 

 of the seedsman. Except to the trucker 

 or farmer engaged extensively in the 

 growing of a crop for a canning factory, 

 a few cents per pound or even per ounce 

 in the price of vegetable seed is insignifi- 

 cant because of the small quantity re- 

 quired by the average farmer, comments 

 the Department of Agriculture's weekly. 



L. D. Waller, of Guadaloupe, Cal., 

 stopped in Chicago last week on his way 

 to Philadelphia. Mr. Waller is optimistic, 

 expecting a good season. Crops in his 

 district, he says, are better than they 

 were last year. More rain has fallen 

 than in the preceding four seasons. The 

 cold weather did not affect the crops 

 around Guadaloupe. Sweet pea and other 

 flower seed crops are exceptionally good. 



Reports to the United States Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture indicate that the 

 1921 crop shipment of sorgo and Sudan 

 grass seed, when completed, will be con- 

 siderably less than the 1920 crop ship- 

 ments. In only one important section, 

 southwestern Kansas, do the reports show 

 larger shipments of amber, orange or 

 sumac sorgo for the 1921 crop, notwith- 

 standing the fact that much of the 1920 

 crop was held on the farm for feeding 

 because of poor demand and low prices 

 for seed. 



WARD BID ACCEPTED. 



The sale of the personal property of 

 the Cottage Gardens Nurseries which 

 was ordered by the court February 17 

 was c'onfirnied March 30. The return 

 of sale was made March 13 and set for 

 hearinjj to be confirmed March 27. On 

 that (late the order was postponed until 

 March 30, so as to give more creditors 

 a chance to be present. 



Only three bids were received: One 

 of $15,(100 from D. S. Ward for all 

 the personal property, one from H. 

 Plath of $300 per thousand for the 

 rooted araucarias and one from the 

 West Coast Nursery of $3,000 for 

 ericas, conifers and broad-leaved ever- 

 greens. The bid of David S. Ward was 

 accepted and confirmed, there being no 

 protest made by the creditors present 

 at the liearing. 



G. Vanden Abeele is now winding up 

 the receivership. There are no assets 

 left but open book accounts, which he 

 hopes to be able to collect in ninety 

 dnvs. 



VEGETABLE SEED ACREAGE. 



Larger than Last Year's. 



TJie jirospective commercial acreage 

 of vegetable seeds for harvest in 1922 

 is much larger than the acreage planted 

 in 1021, according to reports received 

 by the United States Department of 

 Agriculture. The aggregate 1921 acre- 

 age, however, was the smallest since 

 1916 and the acreage of most kinds this 

 year will be less than that of 1920 and 

 the three previous years. Among the 

 items for which market increases over 

 last year are reported are: Dwarf snap
