There are no gardens that will go untilled 

 for want of seeds for planting; though 

 some varieties are sold out or running 

 low, the seedsmen generally will be able 

 to offer ' ' something just as good ' ' to the 

 end of the season. Pickling varieties of 

 cucumber are too scarce for the comfort 

 of some sellers, and some sorts of beans 

 are hard to locate. The wholesalers are 

 having their troubles with the fill-in or- 

 ders because of the sold out condition of 

 quite a few of the standard varieties of 

 garden seeds, but, like the retailers, still 

 have good substitutes to offer. 



GOVERNMENT WORK ON SEEDS. 



Work of the Year. 



In his annual report as chief of the 

 Bureau of Plant Industry of the U. S. , 

 Department of Agriculture, just made 

 public, Prof. B. T. Galloway says: 



"During the past year the seed 

 laboratory has been conducted along 

 lines similar to those of previous years 

 under the direction of Edgar Brown, 

 botanist in charge. Over 4,000 more 

 samples of seed were received than in 

 the preceding fiscal year, the total num- 

 ber being 24,715. The practical inter- 

 est in seed-testing and pure-seed work 

 is shown by the attention given this 

 subject at the agricultural experiment 

 stations and by seedsmen, as well as by 

 farmers. 



"The seed laboratory has continued 

 to make tests for both mechanical 

 purity and germination of samples of 

 seed submitted for this purpose by 

 farmers, seedsmen and others. In con- 

 nection with the seeds distributed by 

 this bureau 2,717 samples have been 

 tested for either mechanical purity or 

 germination, or both. A portion of
