MICHELL'S Z FLOWER SEEDS 



the seedsmen. The production, prepara- 

 tion and distribution of farm and gar- 

 den seeds is an exceedingly compli- 

 cated business, to which the applica- 

 tion of impracticable law may easily do 

 more harm than good. 



In the general circumstances of in- 

 ternational and interstate trade in 

 seeds it was unfortunate that prompt 

 service from legislative control seemed 

 to be necessary and advisable. Legisla- 

 tive control of the commerce of seeds 

 is now general throughout North Amer- 

 ica, and I would not now recommend 

 that it be dispensed with until such 

 time as something that is permanently 

 better be provided and finally estab- 

 lished. 



A Promising System. 



In my judgment the voluntary ac- 

 tion that has recently been taken by 

 representative seedsmen on the sug- 

 gestion of officers of the Department 

 of Agriculture at Washington, is de- 

 serving of the careful consideration 

 and wholehearted support of every 

 member of this association. The work- 

 ing out of the plans which thus far 

 have been given in brief in the press 

 will naturally lead to a national sys- 

 tem of voluntary seed control and to 

 the gradual elimination by common 

 consent of legislative control. 



The seedsmen have been given good 

 reason to expect that they will be pro- 

 vided with reasonably prompt and ef- 

 ficient service from seed laboratories 

 made conveniently available to them. 

 I have good reason to know that the 

 officers of the Department of Agricul- 

 ture who are to assume immediate re- 

 iponsibility for that service, will have 

 10 bed of roses. They will need your 

 jvholesome cooperation. 



The Seedsman's View. 



Ten years ago this step in advance 

 toward voluntary seed control would 

 probably have met with effective oppo- 

 sition on the part of members of this 

 association. Perhaps there are even 

 now those who are considering this 

 new proposition from the viewpoint of 

 which in the end may be the lesser of 

 the evils. It is scarcely to be expected 

 that you may obtain relief from legis-
