Thomas Cox and William Cox, for- 

 merly of the Cox Seed Co., are now in 

 the investment business in San Fran- 

 cisco. 



Thk most unmistakable catalogue cov- 

 er of the season, once seen, is that in 

 bright colors on the "Everything for the 

 Lawn" book of Peter Henderson & Co., 

 New York. 



The wholesale seedsmen have had a 

 good season. The orders now coming in 

 are for small lots to replenish depleted 

 stocks and they find the wholesalers, as 

 a rule, also sold out. 



If congress gives consideration to the 

 president's program, and to the appro- 

 priation bills, it may not after all get 

 around to the pure seed bill at this ses- 

 sion, for adjournment is expected by 

 May 15. 



The seed business of Robert Syden- 

 ham, Birmingham, which has made some 

 effort to get the private gardener trade 

 on this side of the Atlantic, has been 

 turned into a private limited liability 

 company, with $75,000 capital. 



At a recent m'eeting of the Royal Hor- 

 ticultural Society, London, England, 

 Prof. G. Henslow, V. M. H., gave an in- 

 teresting lecture on the origin of the cul- 

 tivated cabbage. He traced the history 

 of the cabbage from the time of Cato, 

 -00 B. C, to the present day, and, with 

 the aid of lantern slides, showed the vari- 

 ous changes that the -cabbage has under- 

 gone during the past twenty centuries.

 seeds. 



There was a general contention that 

 low grade importations and certain other 

 abuses which had developed in trade 

 were chargeable to the dealers who do 

 not handle seeds as a regular business 

 and that a federal law, applicable to the 

 legitimate and reputable seed business 

 of the country, was not needed. 



It also was argued that technical char- 

 acteristics of the seed business render it 

 impossible for any seedsman, however 

 well intentioned, to observe all the re-
