Seed Package Cases 



That are adaptable to any size package— that's how our Adjustable 

 Display Cases are made. Withstand more knocking about than card- 

 board and wooden cases, because they are made of metal and hand- 

 somely finished in graas-green enamel. Seeds displayed in this case sell 



faster than ordinarily, 

 as the entire fronts of 

 the packages are to be 

 seen all the time. Then 

 they eliminate loss of 

 time hunting for a cer- 

 tain kind of seed, and 

 also disarrangement of 

 display, as is usual in 

 other display cacea.

The Texas crop of Bermuda onions, 

 although some weeks later this season 

 than usual, has turned out to be much 

 the heaviest on record. The high prices 

 of last winter encouraged extremely large 

 importations of onions, more or less clos- 

 ing the eastern markets against the Texas 

 crop. The result is that the speculators 

 who imported onions are losing large 

 sums, while the value of the Texas crop 

 has been cut to a point where it is doubt- 

 ful if the cost of the crop has been re- 

 turned on recent shipments. The high 

 prices last winter undoubtedly stimulated 

 the demand for seeds and the present 

 state of the market probably will have 

 more or less of the opposite effect next 

 season.

 Coyote, Cal. The piece of land being 

 farmed is in the Santa Clara valley, 

 famous as the seed growing center of 

 the west, and contains about 300 acres. 

 The principals of the company are 

 William A. Cox, for many years the 

 president of the Cox Seed Co., of San 

 Francisco, and R. C. McGill, formerly 

 connected vrith C. C. Morse & Co., 

 having started with that firm in Santa 



Clara in 1901. They are growing their 

 own roots and bulbs for the coming 

 year and, to guard against dry seasons, 

 such as the present one, three wells 

 have been bored, and an electric pump- 

 ing plant installed which can adequate- 

 ly cover the entire farm,''should irriga- 

 tion be necessary. Several acres are 

 being devoted to trial grounds. They
