 orders for .seeds to \w grown ai)road on 

 contract, as many grievous cases oc- 

 curred last season, where after making 

 all arrangements, the wholesale trade 

 were unable to get delivery of the 

 goods, and execute orders which had 

 been taken on the strength of the '.0)1- 

 tract. 



"Then as to waste: Everyone in the 

 trade knows that even the professional 

 gardener usually buys and sows at least 

 double as much seed as is really neces 

 sary. As a remedy, the board proposes 

 to start to educate the public to plant 

 fewer seeds. In spite of the fact that 

 it may at first sight seem somewhat 

 against their own interests, the govern- 

 ment expects great assistance from the 

 seed trade in this matter. It is ques- 

 tionable whether waste really benefits 

 any trade in the long run."
