FAKE SEED ADVS. 



It is about time tliat seedsmen gen- 

 erally should take some action regard- 

 ing the falie advs. offering extensive 

 collections of seeds at prices at which 

 they cannot be honestly supplied. 

 There seems to be an unusual number 

 of such this season, and it would seem 

 that reputable seedsmen who are large 

 advertisers in the publications carry- 

 ing these fake advs. should make a 

 concerted effort to have the evil 

 abated. 



A sample recently secured of one of 

 these collections, offered for 10 cents, 

 "was very interesting. In the various 

 "packets" there were exactly ten seeds 

 of cosmos, eight of sweet peas, five of 

 cypress vine and four of nasturtium. 

 Should every one grow there would be 

 enough of none to be of any value to 

 the planter and every purchaser would 

 mot only be disgusted, but would nat- 

 urally conclude that other collections 

 advertised by reputable seedsmen are 

 cheap offers in name only. In this way 

 a serious injury is done to all endeav- 

 oring to conduct a legitimate business, 

 and the publications admitting such 

 advs. to their columns should be 

 called to account. 



LOUISVILLE, KV. 



Severe Hail Storm. 



Many florists suffered serious losses 



in broken glass from the hail storm 



■on March 3, between 4 and 5 p. m., it 



being the heaviest fall of hail ever 



known here. 



Among those who suffered most 

 were H. Lichtefeld, J. B. Rudy, Wm. 

 Mann, Geo. Schulz, Henry Puchs and 

 C. Koenig, the last named having only 

 25 whole lights of glass left out of 

 8,000 feet. Most all the other florists 

 lost more or less glass. In some parts 

 of the city the hail lay on the ground 

 to a depth of three inches, and some 

 of the stones weighed l^^ oz. KY.
