revisions having also been issued in 1908 

 and 1910. 



The big mail-order seed houses have al- 

 most abandoned the big general magazines 

 as a means of getting inquiries for cata- 

 logues. The January magazines carry 

 scarcely any seed trade advertising and 

 only a little is ordered for February. 



LOS ANGELES SEED SITUATION. 



All the seedsmen report business 

 opening up well, though the dry De- 

 cember and the holidays checked the 

 demand somewhat. Most of the seeds- 

 men here handle nursery stock and 

 advance orders for oranges are excep- 

 tionally good, according to C. Winsel. 



Aggeler & Musser say their fall 

 plantings were considerably delayed by 

 drought, but opened up with a jump at 

 the new year. This progressive firm 

 notes a big increase in business and in- 

 quiries to date are largely in excess of 

 previous years, especially for their spe- 

 cialties in peas and muskmelons. 



The Germain Seed & Plant Co. has 

 completely remodeled its store inside 

 and out, and M, L. Germain, who has 

 recently taken an active lead in the 

 business, has systematized and im- 

 proved the office end. 



The West Coast Seed House has 

 moved from its old location on "Winston 

 street to 116-118 East Seventh. 



Theodore Payne and the Morris & 

 Snow Seed Co. both report business 

 good. Mr. Payne has bought out the 

 lease and stock of John Chevaucher at 

 Hollywood. H. R. R. 



JAPANESE LILY BULBS. 



Frank H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, 

 New York, was in Chicago this week 

 on his way home from Japan, where six 

 months have been spent among the lily 

 growers. Mr. Henry, who was accom- 

 panied by his wife and daughter, gives 

 the following summary of crop condi- 

 tions as they appeared to him on the 

 flay he sailed from Yokohama, Decem- 

 ber 12: 



"The acreage of Formosas planted 

 for the 1912 crop is thirty per cent less 

 than was planted for the 1911 crop, and 

 it is to be expected that prices will 

 range from ten to fifteen per cent 

 higher than during the last season. 

 The Formosas are turning out better
