in the last few days 300 acres have been 

 contracted for among the growers here 

 and it is expected that before time to 

 close the contracts for the season a 

 thousand acres will be placed. 



"Mr. Bobinson will come to this city 

 about April 1 and will then select a 

 site upon which he will erect office 

 buildings and a large fireproof ware-, 

 house, equipped with all the modern 

 machinery for the cleaning, polishing 

 and testing the germination vitality. 



"Mr. Clute has a contract with the 

 company to conduct a trial ground at 

 his ranch and there will be seen grow- 

 ing every variety of cucumber, canta- 

 loupe and muskmelon, a chance being 

 given to make a study of the different 

 varieties to determine their adaptabil- 

 ity to our soil and climatic conditions. 



"The Kocky Ford Seed Growers' As- 

 sociation was organized two years ago 

 with Will Morrison, president; J. P. 

 MuUowney, treasurer, and H. D. Clute, 

 secretary, and during their first year 

 they grew and shipped 50,000 pounds of 

 seeds and they also perfected a new 

 seeder and placed it on the market. 

 This last year they handled 150,000 

 pounds of vine seed and sold some 

 twenty-five of their seeders, but now 

 the association will discontinue their 

 seed business. The field men of the 

 Robinson company will have charge 

 and general supervision of the growing, 

 harvesting and drying of the crops, and 

 it is expected to improve the stock and 

 vitality of the seeds handled by the 

 company."

 to say of crop conditions: 



"The outlook at present for Cali- 

 fornia seed crops is anything but en- 

 couraging. We have had only about 



The New Florists' Dahlia, "Foster Barnes" 



Nati()Nai,C<i-oi'E1!ativk Show CJakdkns, Spencer, Iiul. 



Dear Sirs: In reply to your inquiry, "How do you lllte the plnk-tlnted. white show 

 Dahlia, Foster Barnes?" will say we like It very much. In fact, you have never 8hipi)ed 

 us a Dalilia which sells so well as a cut flower. Foster Barnes is an ideal variety for 

 funeral work. Its waxy white petals, so delicately tipped with bright pink, together 

 wltli its fine stems, makes this one of the very best varieties for florists' use. 



We hope your supply of cut flowers of thi.x variety* will be greater next season, so 

 we can have a larger iiercentage of this variety. Yours very truly, 



A. WiEGANi) it Sons.
