The Market Seed Co., Los Angeles, 

 Cal., has been incorporated, with $10,000 

 capital. The directors are J. S. Cannon, 

 J. J. Gallagher, E. E. Sidebottom, E. W. 

 Allen and G. H. Brooks. 



The clerk of the ways and means com- 

 mittee of Congress, which is hearing 

 tariff matters, when al^ed January 25, 

 said that nothing had come to his atten- 

 tion relating to the paragraph on seeds, 

 neither briefs, letters iiBf=telegrams. 



The agricultural appropriation bill 

 now pending in Congr^ ■provides $26,000 

 to carry on th§ work -of * ' testing com- 

 mercial seeds, isehldicg grasses, clover 

 or alfalfa, in the. open market to. deter- 

 mine if there are adulterations." 



One of the Unfavorable features of 

 •successive short crop years is the tendency 

 to distribute stocks without pedigree. 

 Sometimes these stocks of unknown ante- 

 cedents turn out all right, but the oppo- 

 site usually is the case and no seedsman 

 would sell them, much less plant them, 

 except under the press of necessity. 



The Holland bulb salesmen who have 

 been some time on their rounds of the 

 trade in the United States report that 

 there is again a pronounced increase in 

 the intiarest in Darwin tulips. Business 

 on hyacinths and on the popular bedding 

 tulips is being booked without difficulty, 

 because of the way the trade cleaned up 

 in 1912. 



The Gurney Seed & Nursery Co., Yank- 

 ton, S. D., has bought the peony, glad- 

 iolus and iris collection of the late H. 

 C. Warner, of Mitchell, probably the old- 

 est horticulturist in the state of South 

 Dakota in point of years of Residence. 

 The collection consisted of 382 named 

 varieties of gladioli, 347 named varieties 

 of peonies, and 136 named varieties of 

 iris. These will be moved to Yankton in 

 the spring.
