MILLIONS or FLOWER AND vEoE

Southern California Has Been Great
Factor In Development Of
Great and Growing
Industry.

Back OF the flowers that bloom In

seed industry. which supplies the mil
lions Of vegetable and flower seeds
to the country. At this time Of the
year they are busy sending out the
orders that have already begun 10
come In for next seasons planting.
So far Ms history records. the FIRST
sale OF seeds in this country was
made at Newport. X. l.. In 1853 by
Nathaniel Bird. a book dealer. who
imported q small quantity Of onion
seed from London. In New York city
hemp and fax seed were advertised
for sale as early as 1866. and garden
seeds In 1776. However. Boston was
tsa chief seed mart of the United
States during the early days. and
there were In business at the Hub
from half a dozen 20 q dozen dealers
who handled seeds exclusively or In
conjunction with other commodities.
Prior TO 1900 practically all the seeds

however. the seed industry began to
assume proportions that justified the
raising OF the seeds nearer home.
From that time forward the city OF
Philadelphia began to gain recognition

industry and one OF the pioneers In
the trade IVES Bernard Mcmahon.

well known not only In Philadelphia.
but throughout the country. During
the next quarter OF century rather
pretentious seed establishments came
Into existence In Baltimore. Charles
ton. s. C.. and other cities. and a fea-
ture OF the trade at that time was
considerable demand for Shakers
seeds. These seeds were not only
sold at the regular seed houses. but
were also peddled about the country
IN Shakers wagons
How ttf seed industry has expand
ed since the practice OF selling seeds
by mail came into vogue may be ap-
preciated when II Is explained that 30
years ago the seed firm that received
100 letters per day was esteemed to
be in the food tide OF success. where
rs at the present time there are In
this country several seed concerns
each OF which receive more than
5000 orders per day during the busy
season. Speaking broadly. the seed
business is divided into three phases
seed growing. seed testing and seed
selling--and In each OF these occupa-
tons thousands OF persons are en-
gagged.
Each branch OF the industry might

The results OF the tests OF gunners

provement and the establishing OF
n still higher standard of marksman-

This is due TO the encouragement
which has been given by the admiral
~ and the consistent training on the

vanity OF the men.
In the report just issued Il is shown
that the average points per man have
risen from $50 last year TO so this
year. and Il must be remembered that
this test is n test OF the ability OF the
gun captains TO hit the target and Of
the rest of the guns crew that they
