So far this season there is nothing to indicate that the seed trade did not touch high tide in 1917. There is a notable increase in the or- ders for flower seeds, compared to the last two seasons.

In the Santa Cruz district of California it is thought the continued cold weather indicates that the 1919 yield of freesia bulbs will be only from sixty per cent to seventy-five per cent of the 1918 yield per acre, while the acreage in that dis-
