Mention The Review when you write. the time required for seed production by transferring stecklings to Cuba and Porto Eico for winter planting has been considered, but this course is not deemed practicable as yet. Tomato and Lettuce Seed. Much commercial tomato seed is ob- tained as a by-product from the can- ning of tomatoes and the making of catsup and other tomato products. In some cases the reverse is true, and the seed is the main product, while the to- mato pulp is sold to food manufactur- ers. The wholesale price of tomato seed has advanced greatly in the last year, but the cost of labor, more than the size of the tomato crop, determines the price and the quantity of seed. California produces lettuce seed and the supply is rarely in doubt. Lettuce has little real food value, but, like rad- ishes, it is found in all gardens and is on the market throughout the year. The seed requirements, therefore, are large. A great many other vegetables, such as celery, parsley, okra and collards, are grown, but we are able to produce enough seed of these to meet our own needs without special difficulty. The high prices that obtain for vege- table seed doubtless will stimulate the planting of a much larger acreage for seed in the future than even that of 1917 and this should not be discouraged. On the other hand, these prices will tempt inexperienced growers to engage in the industry, with a financial loss to themselves and without profit to the country. T
