United States seedsmen would not 

 quote the department they would buy^ 

 the seed from foreign countries. It 

 seemed to the writer at the time, and 

 he is still of the same opinion, that 

 such a threat would bear little weight, 

 if made. We question if the quantity 

 of seed which the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture would purchase 

 from foreign growers would amount to 

 more than the orders placed with them 

 by the American seed trade, and if the 

 .^onerican Seed Trade Association 

 would make a resolution and stand by 

 it, on about the following lines, we 

 believe the free seed distribution would 

 soon stop; and that is, have a resolu- 

 tion to the effect that the members of 

 the American Seed Trade Association 

 would not offer to the Department of 

 Agriculture any ordinary varieties of 

 seed and furthermore that the members 

 of the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion would not place any orders, con- 

 tract or otherwise, with American or 

 foreign seedsmen and seed growers who 

 quoted seed to the Department of Agri- 

 culture. We believe under those cir- 

 cumstances the American, also foreign, 

 growers would stand by their customers 

 and turn down Uncle Sam, and it might 

 be worthy of consideration.

JAPANESE BULB EXPORTS. 



It is yet too early to give details of 

 the 1912 exports of bulbs from Japan, 

 as the customs statistics are not yet 

 available, but the total export for 1912 

 was 22,091,135, with a value of $480,808, 

 according to official information. The 

 exports for 1911 and 1910 were as 

 foUows : 



AN ADVEBTISINa IDEA. 



"What we want is orders," said a 

 successful New York seedsman to The 

 Review reporter recently. "We do not 

 care for an enormous circulation of our 

 catalogues among people who may or 

 who may not become buyers. We have 

 good seeds, good bulbs and good plants. 

 We wish to demonstrate this. Having 

 done so, we will get repeat orders. 

 Therefore I offer special bargains — real 

 bargains — in my retail advertisements. 

 The customer who sends me $1, or $20, 

 for one of these special bargain lots 

 in the spring is the best possible pros- 

 pect for business when I send him my 

 catalogue in the fall. My gladioli, can- 

 nas or sweet peas are blooming before
