To produce the 35,800 carloads of 

 cantaloupes grown commercially in 1921 

 and valued at over $17,000,000 required 

 160,000 pounds of seed. 



Importers of French bulbs are await- 

 ing with considerable interest the outcome 

 of the meeting of producers at Ollioules, 

 France, which has been set for May 18. 



Most of the large bulb importers were 

 in Washington at the beginning of the 

 week for the conference on quarantine 37. 

 Full report of the proceedings is on a for- 

 ward page. 



The well known horticultural writer, 

 William T. Miller, who went to Los Ange- 

 les some time ago on account of Mrs. Mil- 

 ler's health, is entering the mail order 

 seed business at that city. 



In planting the 30,000 acres devoted to 

 the commercial production of lettuce in 

 1921, which yielded a total of 9,431,800 

 crates, or nearly 19,000 carloads, valued 

 at $12,689,441, there was used 90,000 

 pounds of lettuce seed. 



The exports of seeds from Denmark to 

 the United States were 159,190 pounds in 

 1913, 1,775,700 in 1919 and 7,656,888 in 

 1920, according to a report of the De- 

 partment of Commerce. The value of the 

 1920 export was $1,346,491. 



The weather for the last three months 

 has been favorable for growing onion 

 seed in the Canary islands. If there are 

 no unfavorable developments during the 

 next three or four months, a crop of at 

 least average size — about 75,000 pounds 

 — will be harvested. 



By agreement the matter of the sale 

 of the assets of the Everette E. Peacock 

 Co. was laid over for a week when the 

 receiver appeared in court May 11, in 

 Chicago, with the probability that another 

 week's delay will be allowed. No bid 

 was offered the receiver within the time 

 set by the court, as published in The Re- 

 view of May 4. 



J. P. Wyatt & Sons, of Raleigh, N. C, 

 have for years been known as efficient 

 merchandisers of farm implements, with 

 seeds as a side line. Four or five years 

 ago, a northern man took charge of the 

 seed department and, if the season ot 

 1922 keeps up, the implement business 

 will be a side line of the seed department. 

 A week or two ago, Mr. Keil, the seeds- 

 man in charge, said that he was glad the 

 season was over, as it will give him a 

 chance to breathe. He says the business 

 has been extremely satisfactory, and 

 plans for enlarging the seed department 

 are now under way and will probably be 

 executed during the summer. 



IMPORT PERMIT CANCELED. 



The following notice was sent out 

 from Washington, D. C, May 12, by

 horticultural board: 



"The federal horticultural board has 

 secured evidence that the National Bulb 

 Farms, Inc., of Benton Harbor, Mich., 

 in a shipment made in Ajiril, 1922, by
