 autumn days, and soon make nice, busby plants to fill up any vacant space. 

 They are money-makers for every grower, large or small. Our original Silver 

 Pink will lead the list, but we have ptb^rs that fit in nicely. Note a wordirom

Very respectfully,

ASK CHANGE OF SEED BATES. 



Bailroad rates on timothy seed are 

 the subject of a complaint to the In- 

 terstate Commerce Commission by the 

 Chas. H. Lilly Co., of Seattle, and the 

 Portland Seed Co., of Portland, against 

 the Northern Pacific railroad. It is 

 pointed out that the rates on the seed 

 from Lenore, Lewiston, VoUmer, Culde- 

 sac and Grayville, Idaho, to Washing- 

 ton and Oregon, were commodity rates 

 before June 30, 1915, being 40, 35, 58, 

 41 and 61 cents respectively. Since 

 then class rates have been charged to 

 Seattle and Portland, 58, 52, 76, 59 and 

 75 cents respectively. The rates from 

 Seattle to eastern points, such as Chi- 

 cago, St. Louis and Kansas City, were 

 not changed, and the rates from Le- 

 nore and the other points to Chicago, 

 St. Louis and Kansas City were also 

 vnchanged. It is alleged that the rates 

 on timothy seed westbound from these 

 points in Idaho to Seattle and Portland 

 are unreasonably disadvantageous to 

 Seattle and Portland to such an extent 

 as to be practically prohibitive, while 

 unduly advantageous to cities and lo- 

 calities east of the points named in 

 Idaho. The restoration of the former 

 rates is requested. E. H. P. 



SEED GBOWINQ AT ATASCADEBO. 



It has been reported that the Holding 

 Colony at Atascadero, near Arroyo 

 Grande, Cal., is making, or is about to 

 make, an important venture into the 

 flower seed business under the direction 

 of L. C. Routzahn, but Mr. Eoutzahn 

 states that he has nothing to do with 

 it except that at present he has crops 

 grown on contract there. He writes in 

 part: 



"In regard to putting out flower 

 seeds at Atascadero, the facts are 

 these: The Routzahn 's Co. contracts 

 with the residents of the colony to raise 

 Breds. The plan does not differ from 

 our usual custom. In this instance 

 there simply are more people to con- 

 tract with. For several years we have 

 been working more into the European 

 method, and this is an enlarged oppor- 

 tunity along these lines. Of course 

 these small growers are furnished with 

 our own choice stock seed and the cul- I

tivation and roguing is supervised by 

 ourselves and we take the product ex- 

 clusively. I believe the Holding Colony 

 later on expects to take up the mail 

 order business, but with this, except 

 perhaps selling them some seeds, we 

 have no interest. They have some good 



seed land, but we presume only a fourth 

 of our products will be raised there 

 another year. The people seem to be 

 an unusually intelligent lot and we 

 have no doubt the plan will work out 

 to the profit of all concerned."
