The Zach Davis Co., Delaware, O., did 

 one of the best bulb trades on record. 

 Seed stocks are in, catalogues have been 

 mailed and orders augur well for a good 

 spring trade. 



Shipments of 1921-crop red clover and 

 alfalfa seed are expected to be smaller 

 and those for alsike clover, sweet clover 

 and timothy are expected to be larger 

 than the 1920 -crop shipments, according 

 to reports received by the Department 

 of Agriculture. 



The ofScial roster of the Crabbs, Eeyn- 

 olds, Taylor Co., Crawfordsville, Ind., is 

 as follows: President, A. E. Eeynolds; 

 vice-presidents, B. F. Crabbs and Bennett 

 Taylor; secretary and treasurer, T. C. 

 Crabbs; directors, C. C. Wheeler, Moranie 

 McCoy, H. A. Freeman, C. B. Dunnington,

"The supply of most seeds usually 

 equals or exceeds slightly the demand, 

 but is not always economically and effi- 

 ciently distributed, ' ' reads a paragraph in 

 the Department of Agriculture's weekly. 

 "The supply of fancy quality and su- 

 perior strain seed frequently, however, ia 

 insufficient to meet the demand." 



Eeport of the death of Dr. William 

 Warner Tracy, one of the foremost work- 

 ers of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture, appears on the obituary page 

 of this issue of The Review. Dr. Tracy 

 was connected with D. M. Ferry & Co., 

 Detroit, Mich., for many years before 

 entering the service of the Department 

 of Agriculture in 1903. 



In its report of the agriculture bill 

 to the House of Representatives, the ap- 

 propriations committee of that body has 

 omitted again this year the $300,000 item 

 for free seeds. Last year the commit- 

 tee struck out the item, only to have it 

 put back on the floor of the House and 

 supported so strongly by congressmen 

 that it remained in spite of a fight against 

 it in the Senate. 



The 1922 campaign of the national 

 garden bureau has begun. The bureau, in 

 charge of James H. Burdett, 431 South 

 Dearborn street, Chicago, is under the 

 supervision of a committee of the Ameri- 

 can Seed Trade Association. Leonard H. 

 Vaughan is chairman, and other mem- 

 bers are A. M. Eldridge, David Burpee, 

 Louis B. Reuter and M. L. Germain. 

 Seedsmen who desire the clip sheets in 

 order to get the articles thereon into their 

 local newspapers should address Mr. 

 Burdett. 



TOO BAD. 



Almost everyone has noted that there 

 are more Holland bulb salesmen in the 

 United States this season than ever be- 

 fore. This fact has led a salesman for 

 an American house, which would better 

 be nameless here, to count 'em up. The 

 Review does not vouch for the accuracy 

 of the census, nor does its author claim 

 completeness, but he asserts he has rec- 

 ord of 268 persons from Holland trying 

 to sell bulbs here this season, as com- 

 pared with a little over 200 last year. 

 "Trying to sell" is used advisedly as 

 exactly describing what is going on. 

 Many of the travelers are meeting great 

 discouragement and are resorting to any
