and valuable seeds, or we shall do no 



more business." 



Eegarding the vegetable seed crop 



the bulletin states as follows: 



Beet — Many young plants have been destroyed 

 by frost. I'lantinifa are restricted. Under such 

 conditions tlie crop is bound to be small, even 

 If the temperature proves favorable. 



Carrot — Many plants have bven transplanted 

 and it is not expected that there will be the 

 shortage previously announced. 



Celery — There are not many plantings. 

 Endive — Much has been sown. 

 Common chicory— The usual plantings have 

 been made. 



Garden cabbage — Many plants have been de- 

 stroyed by frost and the crop promises to be 

 small. 



Cauliflower and broccoli — Many plantings have 

 been destroyed and the beads have been sold 

 for consumption. 



Swedish turnip and Buda Itale — Except in the 

 Saumur country, where there are some plantings, 

 nothing has been planted. 



Cucumber — Seed plots will be an important 

 feature. 



Spinach — Except in Vaucluse, not much cultiva- 

 tion is being done. 



Broad beans — Apparently the crop will be about 

 medium. 



Beans — Important seed plots are to be made. 



Corn salad — The crop will be almost Insignifl- 

 cant. 



Melon — Much will be sown, but this does not 

 signify that many seeds will be harvested. 

 Melon growers will sell for consumption, if the 

 prices are high enough. 



Tumii) — Few vegetable varieties have been 

 planted. The crop will be small. 



Onion — Nearly everywhere growers have sold 

 their bulbs. There are few plantings. 



Sorrel — -There are few plantings. 



Parsnip — Cultivation is almost insignificant. 



Parsley — Cultivation is normal. 



Dandelion — Cultivation is small. 



Ijeck — Cultivation is small. 



Peas — Much has been sown. 



Radish — Winter varieties will produce a small 

 crop. Varieties for every month have been sown 

 to a great extent. 



Salsify and scorzonera — Little cultivation has 

 been done. 



Tomato — Much has been sown. 



Recapitulation — The crops on certain items 

 will be deficient. The crop of many others will 

 t>e abundant, if the temperature is favorable. 



The report of the flower seed crops 



on the Cote d'Azur is as follows: 



Nice winter stocks — This year, on account of 

 the economical crisis, not many stocks have been 

 sold and the single flowers have not been gath- 

 ered. This will increase greatly the seeds that 

 will be harvested, but there will be many second- 

 quality seeds, because the plants have not re- 

 ceived necessary care with a view to seed pro- 

 duction. 



Asparagus plumosus nanus — The crop is about 

 completed; it is much better than was expected. 



Asparagus Sprengeri — The crop is considered 

 bad. 



Chrysanthemum Indlcum and japonicum — The 

 crop from the colonies is a middling crop. 



Primula obconlca — The crop continues and 

 promises to be good. 



Cineraria hybrida and C. persica — The temper- 

 ature at the end of March was unfavorable to 

 flowering. 



BOWE'S KAMBLES. 



Southern seedsmen report a good vol- 

 ume of trade since the first of the year. 

 P. F. Keil, manager of the seed depart- 

 ment of J. P. Wyatt & Sons, Baleigh, 

 N. C.j says that 1922 has been far and 

 away ahead of 1920 or 1921. This is 

 both in number of orders and in gross 

 sales. "You wouW not quite believe 

 me," said Mr. Keil, "if I told you how 

 much the trade has increased, but 

 things have got to the point where the 

 present store and warehouse are too 

 small. I'll have to push out the walls 

 and hang the roof on an airship next 

 season." 



W. E. Hastings, of Atlanta, Ga., has 

 not yet made his usual northern trip, 

 because of the great quantity of seeds 

 going out of the warehouse of H. G. 

 Hastings & Co. Sales were a little slow 

 in starting, but when they did start 

 they "hit high" on the first jump. In 

 spite of the low price of cotton in the 

 midsummer of 1921 and previously, the 

 agitation for reduced acreage, and a 

 tight money market, southern farmers 

 have bought about the usual amount of 

 cotton and other seeds.
