Floriculture. 84 The Florists^ Review Apbil 13. 1»22 beans, sixty-five per cent; garden peas, thirty-six per cent; and sweet corn, 126 per cent, as may be noted by re- ferring to the table below. Of the Cali- fornia seed crops, increases of 142 per cent for carrot, ninety-four per cent for lettuce, fifteen per cent for parsnip, twenty-eight per cent for radish and 400 per cent for salsify are indicated, while onion seed is practically the same and parsley twenty-five per cent less. The acreage of muskmelon seed prob- ably will be slightly smaller and of wa- termelon somewhat larger than last year, and present indications are that the acreage of cucumber will be the largest since 1917. The tomato seed acreage may total 3,600 acres, which is about equal to the 5-year average, 1917 to 1921. ^ , . A substantial increase is reported in the acreage of cabbage seed both on Long Island and in the Puget Sound district. In tke latter district much of the acreage of this crop, as well as of turnip and rutabaga, is reported a fail- ure. Because many beet sugar manufac- turers have discontinued growing sugar- beet seed and others have curtailed their seed-growing operations, the acre- age of this seed crop for harvest in 1922 is expected to be only about 1,480 acres, compared with 3,699 in 1921 and an average of 7,000 acres for the five years, 1916 to 1920. Comparative Figures. In the compilation of the foregoing data and the 1922 figures in the table below, reports of individual growing operations were submitted by growers who normally control approximately eighty-five per cent of the aggregate commercial aereage. A comparison was made of the 1922 acreage of each crop reported by these growers with their 1921 acreage and the prospective acre- age of growers controlling the remain- ing fifteen per cent was estimated on the basis of this comparison and on mis- cellaneous current data, and the esti- mates are included in the figures given.
