SWEET PEA SEED 



FOR JULY AND EARLY AUGUST 

 TO DECEMBER DELIVERY 



HAND-PICKED — Not Machine-Threshed. 



WINTKB-FLOWEBING SPENCER and 



ORCHID SWEET PEAS 



For Oreenhonse Use 



If you have been troubled with badly mixed 

 Pea seeds, or Immatured seed that does noi 

 rrow, try our hand-picked seed. ISacn pod Is 

 picked when ripe and matured, instead of 

 pulling up the vines and stacklngr them to 

 cure then threshing them in a machlne/as 

 most growers do. While picklnsr by hand the 

 fields get rogued almost daily, not only for 

 off colors but Winter-flowwing plants oqly, 

 are permitted to remain. Machine-threshed 

 seed has many mixed colors in it because it 

 is Impossible to clean the machine when 

 changing from one color to another. Our 

 system of hand-picking and hand-hulling 

 does away with rogues and immatured seed- 

 This seed is worth much more than others— 

 but our prices are about the same.

the agencies which they serve. Seed 

 legislation has ordinarily been looked 

 upon as a protection to the consumer 

 against unscrupulous methods of unre- 

 liable or dishonest seedsmen. Much of 

 the legislation thatt hks been proposed 

 has been approached from this angle, 

 and has been drastic in its provisions. 

 It has been destructive in many ways, 

 instead of constructive. Because of this 

 characteristic of early seed legislation, 

 the seed trade in the past has generally 

 assumed an antagonistic attitude to- 

 ward seed legislation. Through the ef- 

 forts and influence of a large number 

 of the better class of seedsmen in re- 

 cent years, this attitude is gradually 

 changing from one of strict opposition 

 to all legislation, to one of tolerance 

 of the more reasonable legislation and 

 in some cases even to the extent of a

Objects of Se«d Legislation. 



As the seed trade is an institution 

 which is necessary in the conduct of our 

 agricultural operations, instead of a 

 parasite on our rural institutions, it is 

 highly desirable that any legislation or 

 control that is ever proposed should 



recognize all of the facts which enter 

 into the conduct of the seed business, 

 as well as the nec essary protec tion of 

 the purchaser of see3. " 



Seed legislation has certain objects in 

 view, some of which are the following: 

 (a) To protect the purchaser against 

 misrepresentation regarding the seeds 

 purchased, (b) To prevent the distri- 

 bution and spread of noxious weeds 

 through the sale of agricultural seeds
