GOVERNMENT SEEDS. 



At the meeting of Wholesale Seed 

 Merchants, called by the following 

 firms: J. M. Thorburn & Co., W. At- 

 lee Burpee & Co., The Cleveland Seed 

 Co., Robert Buist Co., Johnson & 

 Stokes, Plant Seed Co., S. F. Leonard, 

 T. W. Wood & Sons, J. C. Vaughan, 

 D. Landreth & Sons, J. B. Rice & Co., 

 Jos. Breck & Sons, and held at the 

 Astor House, New York City, June 20, 

 the following motion was offered and 

 passed: 



Whereas, The annual free distribution 

 of $150,000 worth of seeds by the Govern- 

 ment of the United States produces a 

 serious reduction in sales by merchants 

 whose business is the selling of seeds: 

 and, 



■ Whereas. Such a reduction in the busi- 

 ness of seed merchants by reason of Gov- 

 ernment competition is a discrimination 

 against an established business for which 

 there is not, and never has been, a prec- 

 edent as respects other articles of com- 

 merce; and, 



Whereas, The original intention of (he 

 Government seed distribution was to dis- 

 seminate foreign seeds, newly discovered, 

 and which could not be obtained in the 

 United States; and, 



Whereas, Under the present system the 

 seeds distributed are only such as can 

 be obtained at any reputable seed house 

 from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and 

 such as are advertised as thoroughly as 

 any other commercial commodity it" is 



Resolved, That this Convention of 

 Wholesale Seed Merchants denounce in 

 unqualified terms the Government free 

 seed distribution as being at all times 

 an unfair discrimination against <ne of 

 the whole number of commercial busi- 

 nesses of the country.
