Among the earliest of the catalo^es 

 for the spring of 1921 is that of the Ford 

 Seed Co., Eavenna, O., which has just 

 been received. Though so early an arrival, 

 it bears no evidence of undue haste, but 

 every evidence of careful editing. 



A NEW bulb farm is being started at 

 Fortuna, Cal., some fifty miles south of 

 the Cottage Gardens Nurseries, at McKin- 

 leyville. The owner is Lesley Smith, man- 

 ager of the Humboldt Evergreen Co., of 

 Dyergville, Cal. Mr. Smith is quite fa- 

 miliar with bulb farming around Santa 

 Cruz. For the last four or five years he 

 has been experimenting with certain kinds 

 of bulbs in Humboldt county and finds 

 that they do much better there, both as 

 to flower and bulb. Last year 100,000 

 Godfrey callas were planted. This year 

 40,000 Paper White narcissi, 30,000 Von 

 Zion daffodils and 20,000 Emperor daffo- 

 dils were added. The Von Zion variety 

 grows especially well in Humboldt county, 



MAY MODIFY QUARANTINE. 



Both for those who hope for modifica- 

 tions in the plant quarantine and for 

 those who support the present strict 

 exclusion, there is interest in a para- 

 graph contained in a recent letter sent 

 from Lisse, Holland, by Tromp Bros., 

 to bulb buyers here. It is as follows: 



"One thing more we want to bring to your 

 notice, viz.: that again efforts are being made 

 to modify the Quarantine Act No. 37, which 

 might have success, tlie Agricultural Department 

 of Washington itself making inquiries as to the 

 possibility of granting tlie Importation into the 

 U. S. of more kinds of bulbs of the same clean 

 style as hyacinths and tulips, such as Iris his- 

 panlca, gladioli, etc. Our customers do well 

 keeping their eyes open as to these possibilities." 



G. Overduin, representing Tromp 

 Bros., has arrived at New York to re- 

 main until May. 



SEED HELD WARRANTED. 



Unless Disclaimer Is Used. 



The now general use of express dis- 

 claimers of warranty ia the sale of seeds 

 is again justified by the result of a law- 

 suit just passed upon by the Supreme 

 Court of Minnesota — tho case of John- 

 son vs. Foley Milling & Elevator Co. 



Defendant sold a quantity of seed 

 wheat to plaintiff, representing, as the 

 court finds, that the grain was "genuine 

 Marquis wheat." It is also found that, 

 relying upon this representation, plain- 

 tiff sowed the wheat and reaped a har- 

 vest of inferior bearded wheat. 



Affirming the judgment in f.avor of 

 plaintiff for $29'(i, the Supreme court 

 says: 



"The doctrine that a bargain and sale 

 of a chattel of a particular description 

 imports a contract or warranty that the 

 article sold is of that description, is 

 sustained by a great weight of author- 

 ity. And where a dealer sells an article 

 describing it by name, the identity of 

 which is not known to the purchaser, he 

 must understand that the latter relies on 

 the description as a representation by 

 the seller that it is the thing described. 

 So on a sale of seed by name a warranty 

 that the seed was of the kind named 

 arises. We think the jury was justified 

 under the evidence and instructions in 

 finding that the defendant warranted 

 the wheat sold to the plaintiff to be Mar-
