 Thlrty-flrst aimual convention at Cleveland, Jon* 

 24 to 26. 1913. 



J. Ltnabd has opened a seed store at 

 530 Front street, Mankato, Minn. 



Cautious dealers are booking orders 

 for hyacinth bulbs "subject to advance 

 in duty," there being a fair prospect 

 that the new tariff bill will be law before 

 this season's crop moves, and a possi- 

 bility that the old rate on hyacinth bulbs, 

 $2.50 per thousand, vyill be restored. 



Seedsmen generally still are going at 

 top pace. Mail orders are holding up 

 unusually well and counter trade, espe- 

 cially west of the Alleghenies, is heavy 

 as April closes. The season has been a 

 peculiar one thus far, but most houses 

 have found it favorable; they are look- 

 ing for a new record when the filial 

 footing up is reached. 



The seed trade should write to con- 

 gressmen and senators asking for a 

 change in the tariff bill on seeds not 

 specially provided for. In the present 

 law the rate is 10 cents per pound, and 

 there are a number of objections to it. 

 In the new bill now pending the rate is 

 changed to fifteen per cent ad valorem. 

 In some respects it is a better rate, but 

 the principle of specific duties is the big 

 thing and should be maintained. Why 

 not make this rate 8 cents per pound t 



NO RAIN IN CAIilFOBNIA. 



No additional rain has fallen in the 

 California seed growing district since 

 last week's report. Waldo Rohnert 

 says that with an inch more rain there 

 would be about a half crop and that 

 without any more rain the growers will 

 be lucky to get back their stock seed, 

 except where fields have been irrigated. 



JAPAN'S LILY BULB EXPORTS. 



The exports of lily bulbs from Japan 



in 1912 were as follows: 



To — Number. Valne. 



Great Britain 9,792,095 $226,396 



United States 9,145,137 181,198 



Other conntrlCB 3,153,903 73,214 



Total M,091,138 9480,80S 



Further details are not yet available, 

 but it is estimated that Holland took 

 fully half the bulbs credited to "other 

 countries. ' ' No statistics are kept as to 

 the size of bulbs exported, but they are 

 usually from seven inches upwards, 



acs 



Qood, true Seeds are the pro« 

 duct of Work, Time and Care. 

 But all Seeds, good and bad, look 

 alike. It becomes necessary, 

 then, to choose by choosing: a 

 producer.
