A LARGER business has been done in 

 sweet peas this year than in any previ- 

 ous seed season. 



DoBBiE & Son, Edinburgh, Scotland, 

 have sent out a new sweet pea called Sun- 

 proof Crimson that is said to be true to 

 its name. 



Seed buyers are learning that germina- 

 tion is far from being the most impor- 

 tant factor in determining value in seeds. 

 Quality of product is what counts. 



It is more than possible that, if seeds 

 were sold as "U. S. Standard," the term 

 would become one no seedsman would 

 care to use on his selected strains. 



The free distribution of seeds by the 

 government this year included seven tons 

 of sweet peas and just a trifle more than 

 that weight of nasturtium. 



Since leasing its greenhouses to H. E. 

 Mitting, the Mangelsdorf Bros. Co., At- 

 chison, Kan., is confining itself almost ex- 

 clusively to the jobbing seed business. 



The J. W. Jung Seed Co., Kandolph, 

 Wis., recently booked a contract order 

 for 100 pounds of Kochia Tricophylla, 

 which Mr. Jung thinks is the largest sin- 

 gle order ever placed for seeds of the 

 standing cypress. 



The government seed shop was de- 

 layed in the early stages of its work this 

 season by failure of its congressional 

 patrons to supply addresses in time, but 

 the mailing has now been brought up to 

 date and it is expected to finish the 1911 

 distribution about April 20. 



A London newspaper has offered $5,- 

 000 in prizes for a sweet pea competition 

 open to amateur growers and some of 

 the leading English seed houses say it has 

 greatly stimulated the demand for seeds. 

 E. W. King & Co., Coggeshall, are quoted 

 in one trade journal as saying it will 

 clear up a ton or more of sweet peas that 

 would otherwise have been carried over. 



Between Lisse and Hillegom, in Hol- 

 land, there is yet a large area inside the 

 dunes. When cultivated this soil is able 

 to grow hyacinths. Although not by any 

 means yet in condition, this land is al- 

 ready being sold in lots to several bulb 

 growers at a price said to be about $1,500 

 per acre. Many will be astonished to 

 hear of what is considered comparatively 

 poor soil commanding such an extraor- 

 dinary price for this use.
