The trade will find it of importance 

 to note the quarantine order issued De- 

 cember 17 by the horticultural authori- 

 ties in California. It is printed in full 

 on page 66 of this issue. 



The Michael Seed Co., of Sioux City, 

 la., has moved into its new building, at 

 316 Pearl street. The building is of fire- 

 proof construction, covers a space 25xlo6 

 feet and is two stories high, with a 

 foundation sufficient to support two more 

 stories. 



The new five-story building for the 

 Portland Seed Co., of Portland, Ore., is 

 nearing completion. The structure cov- 

 ers a space 100x100 feet at East Alder 

 and East First streets, and will cost 

 $40,000. It will be the main home of the 

 company. 



There \\ as an interesting little gather- 

 ing of seedsmen and growers' representa- 

 tives at Washington Tuesday, January 7, 

 to witness the opening of the bids for the 

 government contract for 1913 crop. The 

 order will be more widely distributed this 

 year than usual. 



California had in 1912 probably the 

 best crop of lettuce harvested anywhere 

 in the world, though it was nothing to 

 brag about. Consequently the stocks are 

 cleaning up better than usual and there 

 is a prospect of putting lettuce back in 

 the list of money crops. 



Cautious houses are selling bulbs for 

 1913 delivery "subject to change in 

 duty." There is no more than a remote 

 prospect that the Democratic administra- 

 tion will get a new tariff law into opera- 

 tion before the 1913 importations are in, 

 but there is every prospect that if it 

 does there will be one important change: 

 the duty on hyacinths will be put back 

 to $2.50 per thousand, as most of the 

 trade believe it was intended to be in the 

 present law. 



The Lima Bean Growers' Association, 

 of Oxnard, Cal., sometimes called the 

 "bean trust," went out of existence 

 December 31. At a meeting of the stock- 

 holders, who include practically all of 

 the bean growers in Ventura county, the 

 association was dissolved. It was an- 

 nounced that the growers would reor- 

 ganize on a cooperative basis. The asso- 

 ciation was organized three years ago 

 and virtually controlled the price of com- 

 mercial lima beans.
