The United States government has de- 

 cided that "the Eocky Ford melon is 

 not a new variety of melon, but is one 

 of the older varieties which in the en- 

 vironment of Rocky Ford, Colo., has at- 

 tained particular excellence." 



The March issue of the government's 

 Crop Reporter contains the full report 

 on the purity tests of seeds for the year 

 1909, with list of those from whom 

 adulterated or misbranded seeds were 

 obtained. The report was summarized in 

 the Review several weeks ago. 



According to the Illinois State Board 

 of Agriculture, the clover seed crop of 

 the state in 1909 was 43,041 bushels, com- 

 pared with the banner crop of 193,509 

 bushels in 1897. The price for last year's 

 crop is put down as worth $6.50 per 

 bushel, while the big crop brought $3.15. 



In the Channel Islands, which are to 

 the London market what tidewater Vir- 

 ginia is to the Philadelphia and New 

 York flower centers, it is said that 

 "buyers of Guernsey bulbs can always 

 rely on their flowering at least twelve 

 or fourteen days before the Dutch bulbs 

 of the same varieties which may have 

 been put in the same field at the same 

 time. ' ' 



The Livingston Seed Co., Colum- 

 bus, O., has established a house organ, 

 called "Livingston's Seasonable Garden 

 Suggestions," and edited by Adolph 

 Kruhm. It consists of eight pages and 

 cover, size 4i^x6. The covers of the 

 first issue, front and back, are from a 

 photo showing the harvesting of the 

 Ohio Yellow Globe onions that will give 

 the .seed crop of 1910. 



CALIFORNIA CONDITIONS. 



Writing at Gilroy, Cal., March IC, 

 Waldo Rohnert had the following to say 

 of interest to the seed trade in general 

 regarding conditions in the California 

 growing territory : 



"In regard to the conditions of seed 

 crops, will say that the winter has been 

 ideal for the seed grower. Rains came 

 in sufficient quantity and at just the 

 riglit time to give tiie growers ample 

 time to prepare their land and get in the 

 crop early. On my 1,000 acres that I 

 have in seed crops this season we had no 

 trouble in getting a stand with the ex-
