 leged to have not come true to name, 

 has been abandoned, according to Hayes 

 McKinney, of the law firm of Zane, 

 Morse & McKinney, Chicago, who rep- 

 resented the plaintiff in the action. 



The death of Mr. Hohenadel about 

 the time the case was tried, and the de- 

 sire of the widow and heirs to settle the 

 estate when the United States Circuit 

 Court of Appeals reversed the trial 

 court on some of its rulings and ordered 

 a new trial, are the reasons given for 

 abandoning the case. The litigation for 

 many years interested the seed trade 

 and is said to have "made law" re- 

 garding the liability of seedsmen to the 

 grower for damages that might arise 

 through failure of seed to come true. 



History of Litigation. 



The Hohenadel company purchased 

 3,800 pounds of cucumber seed from Mr. 

 Buckbee, and claimed that it contracted 

 for the variety Chicago Pickling. More 

 than 500 pounds of the seeds were resold 

 to P. A. Marsh, of Chicago. When the

It is a proved fact that, for profit and easy 

 doing, there is no greenhouse plant that will 

 equal good Snapdragon. They require very lit- 

 tle attention and seed sown now will yield con- 

 tinuous blooms from February until July, 

 giving a bumper crop at Memorial, the great 

 special flower day. 



Start some seedlings today and be ready to 

 fill all empty space after mums are done. It is 

 far better and cheaper to grow your own plants.
