Cabbage is one of the items that seem 

 to indicate a short seed crop for 1913. 



It will cost more to grow the 1913 

 crops for seed than it ever has cost be- 

 fore in America. 



Speaking of names, Mr. Gardner is 

 manager of the seed department at 

 Breck's, in Boston. 



The turnip crop in Tennessee, quite an 

 important item with seedsmen in that 

 section, has been harvested and is con- 

 sidered good. 



The Livingston Seed Co., of Columbus, 

 O., has purchased a 60-acre tract of 



f round known as the Phipps farm, in 

 erry tov^oiship. 



P. Larsen, of Loewith, Larsen & Co., 

 New York, will leave for Europe at the 

 end of this month, visiting the seed 

 houses they represent. 



The American Seed Trade Association 

 will be asked to plan two years ahead, 

 with a view to holding the convention of 

 1915 in San Francisco. 



AcooBL^^G to Lester L. Morse, presi- 

 dent and manager of C. C. Morse & Co., 

 San Francisco, the season's business has 

 been fair only, about as last year but 

 no better. 



With bean planting well under way, 

 it appears that the contract growers have 

 had no difficulty in getting all the acre- 

 age they wanted, although costs are ris- 

 ing steadily. 



The overproduction of cabbages and 

 onions for market has discouraged many 

 of the seedsmen's good customers and is 

 affording no little alarm to some who 

 have handled the seeds in quantity. 



Fob the moment there is a little less 

 gloom on the coast. It has not rained, 

 but it was not expected to ; it will be the 

 driest season in years, but of late crops 

 have come along at least as well as could 

 be expected. 



It looks as though the possibilities for 

 the sale of Teneriffe-grown Bermuda 

 onion seed in this country this year will 

 be considerably less than last year, be- 

 cause of the low prices the crop has made 

 for the Texas planters. 



According to the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture there were in the province 

 of Ontario, Canada, in 1911, 252,000 

 acres of peas, as against 336,800 acres 

 in 1910. The average yield in 1911 was 

 15.69 bushels per acre, against 16.94 

 bushels in 1910 and 21.22 bushels in 

 1909. There are no similar statistics for 

 the United States. 



The California Seed Co., San Fran- 

 cisco, has brought suit for an injunction 

 and also asked for $2,500 damages from 

 the Trumbull Seed Co. It is alleged that 

 the latter company placed a sign on 

 which were the words "California 

 Seeds" over the door of its Market 

 street store. The plaintiff contends that 

 the similarity of the signs was mislead- 

 ing and that it was greatly damaged 

 thereby.
