Laverne F. Jones, formerly pro- 

 prietor of the Jones Seed Store, at 

 Grand Eapids, Mich., has been adjudged 

 a bankrupt on his own petition. His lia- 

 bilities are placed at about $11,000, with 

 no assets. 



Congressman James R. ^Iaxx has 

 again introduced his pure seed bill and 

 it has been referred to the Committee on 

 Interstate and Foreign Commerce, of 

 which Mr. Mann is ranking member, but 

 no longer chairman. In his campaign 

 for re-election, he asserted his intention 

 of urging the bill for passage, but his 

 influence as a member of the minority, 

 though its leader, generally is figured as 

 not being what it was in the last Con- 

 gress. „ 



Notice has been given that "the 

 United States Department of Agriculture 

 desires quotations for furnishing stand- 

 ard varieties of vegetable and flower 

 seed from surplus stocks or under grow- 

 ing contract for the 1912-1913 Con- 

 gressional seed distribution. Approxi- 

 mately 1,200,000 pounds of vegetable 

 and .50,000 pounds of flower seed will be 

 required. Bids will be opened by the 

 Board of Awards at 2 p. m., January 9, 

 1912. Copies of specifications can be 

 obtained from the office of seed distribu- 

 tion, Bureau of Plant Industry, Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. C." 



The first general seed catalogue for 

 1912 to reach The Review was that of 

 Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O. It 

 wag in the mail of December 9, and was 

 accompanied by the firm 's market gar- 

 deners ' list. This is three years in suc- 

 cession that the Livingston general cata- 

 logue has been the first in the file, but 

 this year it was only one business day 

 ahffld of the 152-page book of Arthur 

 T. Boddington, New York, which came 

 December 11, and later that day the an- 

 nual of the Ebbert Seed Co., Rocky Ford, 

 Colo., arrived from the printers, the 

 Regan Printing House, Chicago.
