pushing the business. There is a possi- 

 bility that in the end the Hollanders 

 may find this method so costly that 

 they will leave the business to the 

 American jobber, to whom it belongs. 

 The Holland houses are finding the cost 

 of selling in America steadily on the 

 increase. 



NO LEQISIiATION THIS SESSION. 



Curtis Nye Smith, counsel for the 

 three national organizations of seeds- 

 men, sends the following announce- 

 ment: 



"I am pleased to advise that Sena- 

 tor Gronna's bill (S. 480) to regulate 

 interstate commerce in seeds has re- 

 ceived an adverse report from the Sen- 

 ate committee on agriculture and for- 

 estry, to which the bill was referred. 

 It is not likely that this report will 

 be reversed by the Senate. 



"The other interstate seed bill be- 

 fore Congress, being Mr. Howard!* bill 

 (H, B. 11170) has not been considered 

 by the House committee on agriculture, 

 and as their program for the remainder 

 of the session is now made up and does 

 not include this bill, no action will be 

 taken upon it. 



"From the above it will be perceived 

 that there is little likelihood that any 

 action will be taken on seed legislation 

 in this session of Congress."

THERE IS GOOD MONEY 

 IN FORCING 



CYCAS STEMS 



A good etem weighing 6 pounds costs 42c, and should produce 

 a plant with twelve to fifteen leaves, selling Wholesale at 10c per leaf, 

 and retail at 15c per leaf. In two sizes, 2 to 5 lb. stems, and 4 to 8 

 lb. stems. I have found the larger ones more profitable. 



Price, per lb., 10c; per 100 lbs,, $8.00 

 Per case of about 300 lbs., 7c per lb.
