M. B. FAXON, Seedsman, Foxborough, Massachusetts 



president of the American Seed Trade 

 Association is published as having sold 

 redtop that contained only 25.46 per 

 cent of genuine seed, with 16.65 per 

 cent of timothy, 4.16 per cent of other 

 seeds and 53.75 per cent of dirt and 

 chaff, while the house of another ex- 

 president supplied a sample containing 

 64.32 per cent of redtop, 13.04 per 

 cent of timothy, 4.31 per cent of other 

 seeds and 13.33 per cent of dirt and 

 chaff. Among leaser known dealers the 

 percentage of dirt and chaff rose as high 

 as 74.71 and one concern had as little 

 as 19.69 per cent of genuine seed in its 

 sample. 



No one who knows these men will 

 doubt that they were wholly unaware 

 of the character of the seed they were 

 selling; it is merely a case of buying at 

 too low a price and not testing the stock 

 before shipment. But carelessness will 

 be costly. "The U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture will test any sample and 

 no seedsman can afford to neglect the 

 opportunity to find out what he is buy- 

 ing and selling. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



The seedsmen of Providence, E. I., re- 



port a good season. Manager W. E. 

 Brown, of the Providence Seed Co., be- 

 lieves that the supply of flower seeds 

 that failed to arrive in time for this 

 year will be doubly appreciated next 

 season. 



Willis S. Pino observes a gratifying 

 increase in counter trade, the backbone 

 of the business. 



W. E. Barrett & Co. say the recent 

 improvements made by the city have 

 greatly benefited their business.
