Caladiums are scarce. 



Gladiolus bulbs never sold so well as 

 this year and the market is strong in 

 spite of large production. 



Because of the approaching quaran- 

 tine, Holland will send over large quan- 

 tities of gladiolus bulblets this season. 



LoEWiTH, Larson & Co. received 300 

 bags of seeds on the Cedric, from Liver- 

 pool, which reached New York Decem- 

 ber 23. 



There is a rather general belief that 

 the 1917 season was high water mark in 

 the s^ed business, but the 1919 season 

 will be a big one. 



It is the belief, supported by consider- 

 able evidence, that most of the gladiolus 

 bulbs have passed from the hands of the 

 growers and that prices will advance. 



Additions to the equipment of the 

 Farmers Seed & Nursery Co., Faribault, 

 Minn., include an entire new floor on the 

 main building, giving increased floor 

 space of 9,200 feet, also labor saving de- 

 vices, cleaning mills and an electric ele- 

 vator. Higher prices on all seed stock 

 purchased necessitates the use of larger 

 capital than ever before, but trade pros- 

 pects warrant liberal expenditures. The 

 spring catalogue will be mailed early in 

 the new year to the 150,000 patrons of 

 this firm, which annually appropriates 

 $10,000 for other publicity. 



SEED QBOWING CONTRACTS. 



Legal Status of Grower. 



An instructive and important decision 

 of the Georgia Court of Appeals, handed 

 down in the case of Gilbert vs. Cope- 

 land, 97 Southeastern Reporter, 251, 

 shows that an agreement to grow seed 

 for another may constitute the grower 

 a seller in the sense that he retains 

 the title until delivery, or, by pertinent 

 language, the grower may be held to 

 be a mere employee, thereby precluding 

 him from making a valid sale of the 

 crop to some third person without the 

 consent of the other party to the con- 

 tract. The agreement in this case was 

 close to the border line on the question 

 whether the grower was a seller or 

 mere employee, but the court holds that 

 the seed at all times belonged to the 

 seedsman, determining that the grow- 

 er's legal status was that of employee. 



Terms and Conditions. 



The plaintiff and one Bell entered into 

 a written contract which recited that 

 the latter would "raise for and deliver 

 to" the former watermelon seed to be 

 grown during the year of 1917 on ten 

 acres of "land suitable in quantity and 

 condition for the purpose. ' ' Bell also 

 undertook to "properly cultivate and 

 care for the crop, and harvest, cure, 

 separate and clean, as well as prac- 

 ticable with ordinary farm machinery, 

 its entire seed products in such man- 

 ner as to secure the greatest possible 

 returns of seed suitable for seedsmen's 

 use, deliver all seed to D. H. Gilbert 

 (plaintiff), at his warehouse in Monti-
