CALIFORNIA ONION SEED. 



''Some months ago we had occasion 

 to make observations on the rather ex- 

 aggerated claims made for California 

 grown seeds," says W. Van Fleet, in 

 the Rural New Yorker. "That the pe- 

 culiar climate favors abundant seed 

 production in many plants, and is also 

 especially favorable for seed harvest- 

 ing, is a commercial certainty. Cali- 

 fornia-grown seeds in certain varieties 

 now dominate the market, and are used 

 with a fair degree of satisfaction, but 

 evidence of occasional deterioration is 

 not lacking. Sweet pea and onion 

 seeds from California come in for more 

 than usual criticism. They are doubt- 

 less grown with care and every effort 

 made to keep them true to type, but 

 they fail to measure up to the reason- 

 able expectations of the buyers. The 

 idea is that excessive seed production 

 may lessen vitality of individual seeds, 

 and the long and featureless growing 

 season may diminish the inherited tend- 

 ency of plants, native to regions where 

 summer and winter are sharply defined, 

 to perfect the portions desired by the 

 grower, such as the bulb in the onion 

 and the bloom in the sweet peas. As seed 

 production is mainly a matter of econom- 

 ics, seeds being naturally grown where 

 they can be most abundantly and cheap- 

 ly produced and the deterioration not 

 particularly evident in a single genera- 

 tion, it has been suggested that the 

 stock plants be grown where the nec- 

 essary seasonal conditions obtain and 

 the product then used m California to 

 grow the seed crop. The need for 

 this * revitalization ' has been denied 

 by Pacific coast growers and horticul-
