country than is generally believed, but 

 a careful inspection of one or two of- 

 fers reveals the fact that in the main 

 the same lots are being offered over 

 and over again. The plan of these 

 brokers is to issue a circular bearing a 

 certain date and quoting various lots 

 by number. Failing to effect sales 

 a new circular is issued offering the 

 same lots under new numbers. It is 

 a clever scheme, but we think possible 

 buyers are "catching on." 



An Assignment. 

 We have just been informed that the 

 Nott Seed Company of Troy has made 

 an assignment and is winding up its 

 affairs. We have not learned what its 

 obligations are, nor what percentage 

 it will pay on Its indebtedness. We 

 had occasion to refer to this concern 

 not long ago, stating that it had moved 

 into new and much superior quarters, 

 and the president of the company, Mr. 

 P. K. Nott, stated thai the concern was 

 in better financial shape than at any 

 time since its organization. As Its 

 business was almost exclusively retail 

 and not very extensive, its failure is 

 not likely to cause much stir. In fact, 

 comparatively few know of the fact. 

 Mr. Nott, we understand, is open for 

 a position with anyone desiring a first- 

 class man to take charge of extensive 

 trial grounds, as he is reported to be 

 a high-class hybridizer and plant 

 breeder. Letters addressed to Troy, 

 New York, will reach him.

In the retirement of Thomas .1. Grey, 

 a well-known and popular member of 

 the seed trade of Boston will be 

 missed. Mr. Grey has withdrawn from 

 active connection with the companj 

 which bears his name although he 

 retains his interest in the corporation. 

 His home address is 19 Jefferson ave., 

 Chelsea. We hope he will onj.> 

 the fullest extent his well earned rest.
