son. Both these liouses appear to have 

 increased tlieir advertising appropria- 

 tions this season. 



The United States Seed Co., of San 

 Antonio, Tex., has obtained a permit to 

 do business in tiie state of Missouri 

 and will establish an office in St. Louis 

 soon. 



The rainfall in the Lompoc valley 

 of California to January 26 was 18.46 

 inches. All along the coast reports in- 

 dicate damage to crops by excessive 

 rains. 



The Hubert Bulb Co., of Norfolk, 

 Va., has been awarded the contract for 

 supplying bulbs, seeds, plants and orna- 

 mental trees to the United States Naval 

 hospital at Norfolk. 



There are about 100 Holland bulb 

 travelers aliroad in the land and there is 

 not one of them who will admit that busi- 

 ness is not the best ever. It seems to 

 be against the ethics of the guild ever 

 to acknowledge that orders are less easily 

 come at. 



A VNiyUE feature of the 191-4 general 

 catalogue of A. C. Kendel, Cleveland, 

 now on the press, is a garden record 

 blank. Pages bound in the book are ap- 

 propriately headed and ruled for a com- 

 plete record of one's gardening opera- 

 tion: varieties, dates of planting, dis- 

 tances apart, dates of maturity, produc- 

 tion, and other details. C. E. Kendel 

 believes that the result will be that those 

 who receive the catalogue will keep it 

 not only through the season but from 

 year to year. 



BILLS ON SEED POSTAGE. 



The following is the amendment to 

 the postoffice appropriation bill offered 

 by Senator Kenyon for the purpose of 

 putting seeds and plants into the par- 

 cel post: 



AMENDMENT 



Intended to be proposed by Mr. Kenyon to the 

 bill (H. R. 11.338) making appropriations for

 purposes, ylz. : On page 26, after line 3, insert 

 the following:

 plants, and the provision contained in the Act 

 approved August 24, 1912, continuing said articles 

 under the provisions fixed by section 482 of the 

 I'ostal Laws and Regulations, is hereby repealed. 



For the same purpose several bills 

 have been introduced in the lower 

 house, that of Mr. Dillon, the last one 

 so far reported, being as follows:

 Tormitting seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions.
