both the national and state govern- 

 ments going more heavily into the seed 

 business each year, it begins to look as 

 if, the American seed trade could take 

 a long- Viication and go fishing. — Oscar 

 H. Will. 



Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, O. 



The season with us has not been so 

 good in a mail order way as last season. 

 We also had a disastrous flood in the 

 midst of our season that caused us 

 some loss of trade, as the papers in 

 general over the country reported con- 

 ditions much worse than they really 

 were. Our local and counter trade has 

 been up to about the usual standard 

 and perhaps somewhat greater than in 

 any year previous. The demand for 

 our Livingston varieties of tomatoes 

 has probably been greater than in any 

 previous year. 



In regard to the outlook for the 

 future, we believe it is rather early to 

 express an opinion, as the success or 

 failure of seed crops in this and in 

 foreign countries has a great influence 

 on the trade. If we are to judge from 

 the shortage in crops that is being 

 reported from California, also unfavor- 

 able conditions in many of the Euro- 

 pean seed growing sections, it would' 

 perhaps be safe to estimate that the 

 1914 demand for seeds will be fairly 

 good. You are no doubt aware that a 

 bountiful season along general lines 

 usually results in a curtailed demand. — 

 James Livingston.

To be sure, both are doing splendid 

 work. The retailer who educates the 

 public, and creates the demand for all 

 that is best in flowers and plants, helps 

 the grower as well as himself. On the 

 other hand, the grower who is enter- 

 prising enough to invest his capital, 

 and to assume tremendous responsibil- 

 ities in order to meet that demand, 

 helps the retailer. 



One merely supplements the good 

 work of the other. 



A True Protective Association. 



It seems to me that the time is ripe 

 when retailer and grower should get 

 together and organize a true protective 

 association, an association that would
