 given aid in solving it. The department 

 welcomes the opportunity to give those 

 who know the commercial side of the 

 seed business additional knowledge of 

 its technical aspects. 



Persons who contemplate taking up 

 this work this season should plan, if 

 possible, to start about July 1. 



SWEET PEAS AT MORSE'S. 



From the seed ranch headquarters of 

 C. C. Morse & Co., at San Juan Bau- 

 tista, Cal., George J. Ball, Glen EUyn, 

 writes: "You can imagine I am having 

 an interesting time here, looking over 

 a 3,000-acre seed farm, of which every 

 square foot is clean and every plant 

 well bred. Tlie sweet peas look unusu- 

 ally strong here this year. They are 

 near the coast, where it is quite cool 

 and green fly does not trouble them. I 

 have never seen such big, long-stemmed 

 flowers as there are here by the mil- 

 lion." 



From San Juan Bautista, Mr. Ball 

 went to Guadaloupe, to visit the seed 

 farms of the L. D. Waller Seed Co. So 

 enthusiastic is Mr. Ball over what he 

 had seen uj) to the time of writing that 

 he says: "This trip will certainly be 

 an annual affair with me. Life is more 

 than worth living out here." 



NEARLY A HALF CENTURY. 



R. A. Van Der Schoot is known among 

 American buyers of Dutch bulbs as well 

 as among the English. They will be in- 

 terested in reading the following of the 

 veteran, clipped from the Horticultural 

 Trade Journal, of London: "Forty- 

 seven years is a long period in the life 

 of a business man; forty-seven annual 

 visits to our country by a Dutch bulb 

 grower is surely a good record. Per- 

 haps few who noticed R. A. Van Der 

 School, of Ilillpgom, Holland, at the 

 Chelsea show realized that he holds the 

 unique distinction of visiting England 

 over a period of forty-seven successive 

 years. R. A. Van Der Schoot 'the 

 man you know,' made his first trip at 

 the age of 16 years; he is now 63, looks 

 fit and strong, and hopes to make up tlu' 

 half century. He is now assisted by 

 two of his sons, C. G. and W. F. Van 

 Der Schoot, l)oth of whom are traveling 

 in England. " 



SEED CONDITIONS IN FRANCE. 



Reporting on the seed crops in 

 France, tlie bulletin of Joseph Paquet 

 says: "The frosts of April have been 

 prejudicial to beets, carrots, celery and 

 lettuce. Beets and carrots have suf- 

 fered much, but lettuce has suffered 

 more and tlie crop will be reduced. Of 

 chervil one may rely uyton an ordinary 

 crop. Of spinach, according to ap- 

 pearances, the crop will be good. In 

 Italy, the crops of all the sorts will be 

 smaller than the crops of last year, es- 

 pecially of onion, cauliflower and cu- 

 cumber. 



"The April weather on the Cote 

 d'Azur has Ijeen cold and unfavorable 

 to the ])lants; that will reduce and de- 

 lay the crops." 



As to flower seeds, the bulletin says: 

 "Primula obconica, which produced 

 great enough quantities of seeds in 

 March, have given small crops in April. 

 The principal crop will take place in 

 May and .Tune only. In France flowers 

 have not suffered much from the bad 

 weather of April, except in places where
