Show SOURCE OF SEED The chances are that when you plant your garden next spring your lettuce, radish and onion seeds will either have been imported or else grown in a small area in the southern south-ern end of the Santa Clara valley in California. Only about a thousand icres are devoted to the lettuce seed, practically all of the radish seed, and 75 per cent of the onion seed produced pro-duced in the United States. The seeds are usually grown under contract with seed firms by Japanese farmers who are paid by the pound for the seed. |
