New Early Flowering Giant Pansies 



Or Winter Blooming 



An entirely new and distinct strain of Pansies. The main advan- 

 tage of these new Pansies over all hitherto existing Pansies is the 

 extreme e^trliftess of flowering and its unusual hardiness, which enables 

 them to withstand quite severe Winters, and to bloom right on into 

 the Summer. Sown at the same time as other Pansies, they begin 

 flowering the early part of March or as soon as the snow is off the 

 ground, many times having four or five large flowers to a plant, when 

 all other Pansies are only showing buds. The flowers are large, well 

 formed and fragrant. They are highly recommended for Autumn 

 planting on graves, and for very early bedding, as well as for early 

 cut flowers.

the fields t I am inclined to believe 

 that the weeds can be taken from a 

 growing field of grass seed with more 

 certainty, while it is growing, than we 

 can expect to attain in removing the 

 seeds by means of cleaning machinery, 

 after they have been harvested, and if 

 the field is so full of weeds that they 

 cannot>-be removed without excessive 

 cost, th» fWWuct should not be saved 

 for seed. ~ , 



We may perhaps assume that our law- 

 makers are actuated only by a desire 

 to preveni .the spread of noxious weeds, 

 a desireSrfell worthy of our active sup- 

 port, but the attempt to exempt farm- 

 ers from" the operation of all such 

 statutes may go far to defeat the real 

 purpose of the statute itself. 



I believe that an inspection of the 

 growing fields by competent authority, 

 the certification by such authority of 

 those fields found suitable for seed pur- 

 poses, and the condemnation of such 

 fields as contain too many of those 

 plants which we are trying to guard 

 against, would be the most practical 

 way in which the resources of govern- 

 ment could be employed to improve 

 seeds. 



Seeds by the Pound. 



At the meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee held in New York January 7 the 

 following resolution was adopted: 



Resolved, That the executive committee of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, in annual 

 meeting assembled, recommends to the associa- 

 tion, that beginning with January 1, 1917, this 

 nssocintion and its membere use the cental sys-

tem exclusively by offering all grass, clover, 

 garden and field seeds, potatoes and onion sets 

 by the pound and himdred pounds, and abolish- 

 ing the listing or trading in quarts, pecks or 

 bushels. 



This subject is one which has been 

 discussed from time to time, but up to 

 the present I know of no definite action 

 being taken. I bring this resolution to 

 your attention with the recommenda- 

 tion that such action be taken as would 

 seem most likely to result in the final 

 adoption of the cental system as a 

 standard of this association. 



The Disclaimer. 



During the last year conditions have 

 arisen in connection with the use of 

 the disclaimer which call for most care- 

 ful consideration of the whole subject 

 by this convention. I feel that I may 

 not content myself with the mere 

 recommendation for the continued use 

 of the disclaimer, but that the whole 

 situation should be thoroughly gone

into at this session. I think I may as- 

 sume that the circumstances which 

 have led to the present situation are 

 fairly well understood by the members 

 of this association and that it is un- 

 necessary for me at this time to go 

 into them in detail. The passage of a 

 seed law in the state of Wisconsin, the 

 effort, and eventual success of the can- 

 ners of that state, in securing growing 

 contracts, with the disclaimer clause 

 stricken out, seems to have led, or at 

 least seems likely to lead, to an or- 

 ganized effort to destroy the efficiency 

 of the established custom of the trade, 

 in marketing goods under the condi- 

 tions named in the disclaimer, which
