"As a matter of fact, modem seeds- 

 men do not produce seeds. They are mer- 

 chlantB only, and replenish their stocks 

 through elaborate systems of contracts 

 with growers and dealers throughout the 

 world. While meeting at conventions on 

 the common ground of the advancement 

 of their business, they are chary of giv- 

 ing out details of their operations. 



* * American seedsmen are, with rare ex- 

 ceptions, highly intelligent, energetic and 

 honorable men, engaged in a difficult but 

 necessary and interesting occupation. The 

 successful seedsman is usually an indi- 

 vidual of varied attainments and keen 

 discrimination, in touch with growers and 

 planters of seeds in every imaginable 

 locality, near and distant, and watchful 

 of the effects of all conceivable variations 

 of soil and climate as they affect the pro- 

 duction and quality of the commodities 

 in which he deals. He must plan far 

 ahead and be able to meet all contingen- 

 cies of seed shortage as well sis overpro- 

 dnfttion. 



"That the American seed business is, 

 on the whole, exceedingly well managed 

 is evident by its enormous expansion and 

 the confidence it retains among planters 

 to whom reliable seeds are almost the 

 first necessity of existence." 



GERMINATION OF COVPEAS.

and al:(alfa are not generally grown in 

 this section and the maintenance of prof- 

 itable agriculture is very largely de- 

 pendent on cowpeas. 



During the autumn of 1906 the rain- 

 fall was so heavy over most of this re- 

 gion that the saving of seed was difficult 

 and much that was saved of poor qual- 

 ity. In response to a circular letter sent 

 out from the seed laboratory of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, 3,706 sam- 

 ples of covrpea seed were received from 

 the states of North Carolina, South Car- 

 olina, Oeorgia, Florida, Alabama, Missis- 

 sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Ten- 

 nessee. 



Four varieties only showed an average 

 germination of over sixty per cent — Iron, 

 Taylor, Whippoorwill, and New Era. The 

 seed from four states also showed an 

 average germination of over sixty per
