law enacted. All we ask is that it be 

 such a law as will permit us to live." 

 This statement was made by D. I. Bush- 

 .nell to a correspondent of the St. Louis 

 Globe-Democrat, who, with seedsmen 

 from all sections of the country, ap- 

 peared February 2 before the House 

 Committee on Interstate and Foreign 

 Commerce, which held a hearing on the 

 Mann pure seed bill. Representative 

 Mann informed them he is not disposed 

 to press his bill at this session. 



The seedsmen drafted a substitute 

 for the Mann bill which they laid be- 

 fore the committee. It contains the 

 essential features of the Mann measure. 

 The Mann bill provides for the regula- 

 tion of the seed business which enters 

 into interstate commerce. Those pres- 

 ent agreed legislation is necessary and 

 expressed themselves as willing to have 

 it in this session, according to Mr. 

 Bushnell.

THE SWEET PEA IN COMMERCE. 



One of the London gardening publi- 

 cations recently devoted an edition to 

 the exploitation of the sweet pea. One 

 of the special articles was written by 

 S. B. Dicks, of Cooper, Taber & Co., who 

 is well known to the American seed 

 trade through his annual visits to this 

 country. His subject was "The Sweet 

 Pea as an Article of Commerce." He 

 went back 200 years in his retrospect, 

 and concluded : ' * Judging by facts under 

 my personal observation, and the acre- 

 age which is annually devoted to their 

 culture, the world's production of sweet 

 pea seed must be nearly 500 tons. The 

 greater part of these are sold in Amer- 

 ica, where they form the most important 

 item in the flower seed section of the 

 commission seedsmen's boxes. Great 

 Britain and her many colonies also use 

 immense quantities, for it is as easily 

 grown by the cottager as the prince. In
