The Florists^ Review 



Maz 8, 1913. 



growing industry in California. Table 

 38, of the bulletin on agriculture, show- 

 ing an abstract of farm crops by states, 

 gives the value of the entire product of 

 vegetable and flower seeds in 1909 as 

 $1,411,013, as against $826,019 in 1899, 

 or an increase of almost 100 per cent in 

 ten years. 



It is apparent, from these figures, 

 that the Census Bureau has failed to 

 ascertain the real value of seed prod- 

 ucts, and also that it has not included 

 in this table the peas and beans for 

 seed, which appear to be included in 

 tables 34 and 35. These two tables give 

 classification of all dry edible beans 

 and dry peas and evidently take in 

 beans and peas for seed, although there 

 is no good reason why these seeds 

 should be omitted from table 38, as 

 they should be classed with vegetable 

 seeds. 



In the following table, it will be 

 noted, the value of the seed crop of the 

 United States about doubled in ten 

 years, while California, destined to be- 

 come the greatest seed district in the 

 world, produced in 1909 five times the 

 crop of 1899.

•Includes Indian Territory. 

 Explaining why no tabulation is 

 given of the acreage from which seeds 

 were grown, the Census Bureau states 

 -that in some cases such acreage was not 

 reported, and in many cases it would 

 represent a duplication reported in 

 other tables for flowers, plants and 

 vegetables. The reported production of 

 flower and vegetable seeds, the bul- 

 letin explains, doubtless represents 

 chiefly that of farms producing such 

 seeds for sale, small quantities raised 

 by farmers for their own use presum- 

 ably being often, if not generally 

 omitted. Since statements of quantity 

 for all classes of flower and vegetable
