LORD ALVERSTONE REPLIES.
THE IMPOilITANOE OF SEED
FOR TIIE GARDENER AND THE
HORTICULTURIST,
Dominican. Department of Agri-
culture Gives Some Good
Advice.
It tiliouhl be uunecostary to urge
upon the growet.s of garden crops the
importance of using thoroughly re-
liable seed, or to &feud the preetece
of testing seeds before sowing Gioia.
Many gardeners have suffered heavy
loss through the purchase of Inferior
01' 01(1 Seed. and almost all who have
used tile weds of flowers and vege-
te.bles have had occasion, at one
time or another, to lamout the use
of seed of unknown quality. Genu-
ine seed of high gormiliating capecity
is, however only one essential to n
successful crop, and to denim:late the
importance of good gardeners would
be entirely wrong. ',Since a gond
start is always importhat it would
seem that to devote a• more
attention to securing satisfactory
t seed would amply repay the major-
° ity of gardeners,
'• To the horticulturist, to a greater
IN extent than to the agriculturist, is
8 301111111e reliable seed important. With
the seeds of many farm crops their
actual value can be determined sev-
eral months before plantieg, becamo
the queetion of variety does uot en-
ter to the same extent as in garden
crops. 1•Vith the gaielen crops true -
31005 to variety is of paramount im-
portance and a 'disappointment in
that regard may mean, practically,
the loss of a season's crop, if the
difference be a Jato maturing variety
for an early 0110 or vice •versa. It is
thei•efore important that growers be
COMPETENT AND RELIABLE,
For many yenta all the seeds used
in this .country were European groevn
although as early as 1785 some at-
tention was given to their growth in
the 'United States, In that country
the trade grew steadily wail about
1860, When, owing to the interrup-
tion in trade .4110 to the civll war,
people began to look for a home
supply and home productiou was
greatly stimulated as a result. The
increased clemand encouraged grow-
ers to produce reliable seeds and
kinds suited to all conditions of
growth, A Mir trial of homegrown
seeds convinced people that they
wore as satisfactory as imported
stocksl and in some cases gave bet-
ter results. In 3578 there was es-
timated to be 7,000 acres devoted
to the production of garden seeds,
but at that time the California seed
trade was but beginning and since
then it has grown to enormous pro-
portions. The vegetable seeds most
grown in California ere onion, let-
tuce, earrola look, kale„ parsley and
parsnip; the Heaver seeds, sweet peas,
nasturtulm, verbenas and asters,
Cabbage and cauliflower seed as
grown in the State of Washington
and n good quality is grown.on long
Island. Many Other kinds of flower
and yegetable seede are grown in
various districts, but as a rule, not
in suelicient quantity to allot the
trade. There is still, and will CCM-
tinue to be large quantities of nearly
all kinds of seed imported from Eur -
I cape whore labor is not so groat an
item of expense as in America.
Much of the work in connection
with the growing has to be dorie by
hand so that labor is an important
consideration.
