as possible. He adds tliat many cus- 

 tomers have commented on their cata- 

 logue as being the easiest to order from 

 of any they have ever received. 



For mid-January the volume of mail 

 orders is satisfactory. No large per- 

 centage of the catalogues are pulling 

 as yet, but the southern trade is opening 

 up rather better than usual. 



Wm. Henry Matjle, Inc., says last 

 year saw an accession of more than 10,- 

 000 new customers and that a specially 

 good season is expected in 1915 because 

 of the extra demand for farm products 

 created by the war. 



In anticipation of the increase in num- 

 ber of truck growers in the course of 

 crop diversification in the south, H. G. 

 Hastings, the Atlanta seedsman, will 

 give the Georgia State Horticultural 

 Society, at its annual meeting January 

 19 to 20, at Athens, "Some Don'ta for 

 New Truckers." 



WILL DETAIN SEED IMPORTS. 



The Treasury Department, at the re- 

 quest of the Department of Agriculture, 

 has instructed collectors of customs to 

 sample and detain, pending an exami- 

 nation and report by the latter depart- 

 ment, all lots of seed offered for entry 

 under the seed importation act, such as 

 alfalfa, Canadian bluegrass, Kentucky 

 bluegrass, millet, orchard grass, rape, 

 redtop, timothy, clover, meadow fescue 

 and awnless brome grass. P. 



BIDDESS ON FREE SEEDS. 



Number Sharply Reduced. 



The U. S. government is, as usual at 

 this season, in the market for seeds 

 for congressional free distribution 

 which will cost approximately $252,000, 

 but only slightly more than half as 

 many seedsmen as usual are interested 

 in getting the contracts. The number 

 of bidders decreased from ninety-one 

 last year to fifty-five this season. And 

 among those who dropped out are some 

 of those who had a major portion of 

 the last order. 



The bids for supplying the seeds 

 needed for the 1916 distribution were 

 opened at Washington January 12. Not 

 only were the bids less numerous than 

 usual but the attendance of seedsmen, 

 was not up to the average. Those 

 present were J. W. Edmundson, of the 

 California Seed' Growers' Association; 

 J. T. Chisholm, of Braslan Seed Grow- 

 ers Co.; Watson S. Woodruff" and Frank 

 C. Woodruff, of S. D. Woodruff & Sons; 

 E. L. Page, of the Page Seed Co.; F. 

 W. Bolgiano, of Washington, and a 

 Mr. Halliday. The bids were opened 

 by a committee representing the De- 

 partment of Agriculture, Chief Clerk 

 Reese acting as chairman and Chief 

 Oakley, of the seed bureau, as secre- 

 tary and tabulator. As usual, only the 

 name and address of the bidder, the 

 kind of seed offered and the pri^jB were 

 read, the quantity offered and other in- 

 formation being considered confidential.

Asparagus Lutzi 



This new Asparagus Fern has many Qualities 

 which render it superior to the old Asparagus 

 Plumosus. It dons not wind; it flowers pro- 

 fusely and seeds freely; its cultivation is very 

 simple, and it only requires a cold house; it 

 has no thorns. Even without water it will keep 

 fresh for weeks when cut. A full description 

 will be sent on application.
