 and practice of American agriculture

 tively iec(!nt years, says \V. AV. Tracy, 

 formerly with 1). ^I. Ferry & Co., in a 

 bulletin of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture, none lias been of greater practi- 

 cal importance than those connected 

 with the growing and handling of seed 

 of garden vegetables. Tiiere has been

 acres, and more than half of this is

 is more than that occupied by the en- 

 tire seed trade of the country only fifty 

 years ago. Not only has there been 

 iui enormous increase in the quantity 

 of seed used, but a great improvement 

 in the quality.
