SMALL TRUSTEE SUES PECK. 



The Lamasco bank was appointed re- 

 pcivor of the Pave Peck Seed Co., 

 Kvansville, Ind., by Judge Lockyear in 

 the Probate court June 26 at Evans- 

 ville. The appointment of a receiver to 

 handle the business of the firm and $60,- 

 000 damages was asked by the Mercan- 

 tile-Commercial bank, trustee for W. H. 

 Small & Co., in a suit filed in the Pro- 

 bate court. It is asserted that the Dave 

 Peck Seed Co. is indebted to W. H. 

 Small & Co. for goods purchased. 



The appointment of a trustee for W. H. 

 Small & Co. was reported in last week's 

 issue of The Review. Outside capital 

 is being interested, it is reported, with 

 the ob.iect of straightening out the 

 company's affairs. 



Mr. Small states: "Because bankers 

 were calling in loans and were not ex- 

 tending credit, and because of the late 

 season causing a decrease in the sale of 

 field seeds and the tieup on the railroads 

 causing transportation difficulties, the 

 company was forced to go into the 

 hands of a trusteeship. We expect to 

 be on our feet again within three or 

 four months, and we will pay dollar for 

 dollar to those who have stock." 



ARCHIAS IN IMPERIAL VALLEY. 



"I have traveled through the Im- 

 perial valley, California, from Niland 

 at the north to Calexico on the Mexican 

 border, visiting the farmers and truck 

 growers. The cantaloupe season is at 

 its best. Over 200 cars per day are 

 being shipped from Brawlev alone. 

 Poppy, El Centre, West MoreJand, Im- 

 perial and Ileber are also shipping 

 points for melons. General crop con- 

 ditions in the valley are good. Farmers 

 are prosperous and prices are good." 



Thus writes L. H. Archias, j)resident 

 of the Archias Seed Store Corporation 

 and the Archias Floral Co., Sedalia, 

 Mo., as well as of the Missouri State 

 Florists' Association, who has been in 

 specting seed growers' establishments 

 in the Imperial valley, California, while 

 on a tour of the southwestern states in 

 company with his brother, J. C. Archias; 

 his daughter, Marian, and his brother s 

 family, in J. C. Archias' automobile. 



QUARANTINE INTERPRETATION. 



The interpretation of a clause of 

 Quarantine Xo. ^7 by Curtis Nye Smith, 

 counsel for the American Seed Trade 

 Association, is undoubtedly of interest 

 to others besides the firm which sub- 

 mitted the inquiry. Regarding the im- 

 Jiortation of certain perennial seeds, he 

 states: 



"Answering your inquiry as to the 

 moaning of the words 'hardy perennial 

 plants,' as used in amendment No. 1 to 

 ■ Regulations Supplemental to Notice of 

 Quarantine No. 37' (section 5), we beg 

 to advise you that the expression 'seeds 

 of hardy perennial plants,' as used in 

 regulation No. 3, refers to seeds of 

 woody or other plants which are not 

 herbaceous and are either of a hardy 

 and woody growth or are not killed to 

 tile ground in the temperate zone. 



"The term 'flower seeds,' as used in 

 regulation No. 2, refers to seeds of an-
