HosEA Waterer has opened his new 

 store, around the corner from his former 

 location on Chestnut near Seventh street, 

 Philadelphia. The erection of a press- 

 room by the Public Ledger Co., which 

 owned the property, caused his removal. 



Word has just reached this country 

 that a daughter was born March 2 to 

 Arthur Leslie Deal, of the widely known 

 seed firm of W. W. .Johnson & Son, Ltd., 

 Boston, England. Mr. Deal has a large 

 acquaintance in the trade of this coun- 

 try through his many visits here. 



A British seed house advertises a 

 "new mystery tomato," which is 

 "claimed by the raiser to be twenty 

 years in advance on any existing variety. ' ' 

 The mystery appears to be how anyone 

 can liope for belief in statemonis of 

 "marvelous qualities" such that, if they 

 prove as claimed, "all other varieties 

 will immediately become obsolete." 



Total shipments of the 1921 crop of 

 soy 1 loans are expected to lie thirty ]ier 

 cent larger than the shipments of the 

 1920 crop last year; shipments of cow- 

 peas will be the same or slightly less, and 

 of velvet beans (liulled for seed) about 

 thirty per cent less than last season. 

 These estimates arc made from recent 

 reports received by the United States De 

 partment of Agriculture. 



The seed catalogue of Bees Ltd., Liver- 

 pool, England, was recently mailed to 

 British customers from Germany. So 

 •was that of Ryders, of St. Albans, Eng- 

 land. The latter house stated, on the 

 front page of the catalogue itself, under 

 a bold headline, ' ' This list has been 

 posted abroad," that this was done be- 

 cause, while "traders can afford to pay 

 for the preparation of lists, catalogues 

 and advertising matter, they cannot af- 

 ford to distribute them because of the ex- 

 cessively high postage rates." 



The sum of .$1,500,000 is soon to 1r' 

 expended by tlie Department of Agri 

 culture for the jiurcliase of seed grains 

 for farmers in the drought-stricken areas 

 of the nortliwest. The farmers in North 

 Dakota, Montana, Idalio and Washing- 

 ton will be particularly benefited. When 

 the measure was before the Senate an a]i- 

 propriation of $5,000,000 was sought. Tlie 

 House demurred and declined to give 

 more than $1,000,000. Tlie bill went to 

 a conference of the Senate and House 

 and as a result an agreement was reached 

 on $1,500,000. The bill has been signed 

 by the President and may now be carried 

 out. 



Seed Imying iii the agricultural dis 

 triets of tlie middle west seems to be mak-

 la., tlioiigli still a vdung house, rejiorts 

 business aliout twenty live per cent better 

 than a year ago. Some days have brought 

 orilers totaling as much as forty per cent 

 above those of the s.-ime day a year ago. 

 The receipts of March 15, said Vice-presi- 

 dent Karl E, May, were $1,800 — not a 

 freak day, for receipts ran from $1,200 

 to $1,500 the preceding week. None but 

 the usual steady advertising has been 

 done. This sjiring 40,000 catalogues were 

 mailed out ;ind one follow-up letter has
