when in the city with her mother, she 

 noticed a gentleman with a mourning 

 band around his left sleeve. "Mamma," 

 she asked, "what's to keep them from 

 crawling up his other armf" The de- 

 mand for seeds and the sale of ipsecti- 

 cides is encouraging, added Mr. Mac- 

 Donald. 



"Excellent business," commented 

 Manager Dewar, of K. & J. Farquhar & 

 Co., Boston. "The opening up of 

 many private estates for the first time 

 since tlie war and increased plantings 

 on others are shown in our sales up to 

 date." 



Manager Willard, of the Fottler, 

 Fiske, Rawson Co., Boston, notes activ- 

 ity all along the line in seeds and sup- 

 plies. With the chirp of chicks and the 

 beams of Old Sol the fever of spring 

 has taken hold of the suburbanites with 

 full force. 



The Thomas J. Grey Co., Boston, ex 

 pects to work overtime if the present 

 state of things continues. Many new

Only for Normal Season. 



A warranty of the germinating power 

 of seed implies a condition that the 

 growing season will be normal, holds 

 the California District Court of Appeal 

 in the case of Western Soil Bacteria 

 Co. vs. O'Brien Bros., 194 P. R., 73. 



The further interesting point is made 

 that a trial judge may exclude a seeds- 

 man's test of seeds by placing them be- 

 tween moistened blotters and subject- 

 ing them to 98 degrees of heat, when 

 such test is offered to contradict a 

 buyer's statement that the seed failed 

 to germinate in the ground. 



The plaintiff sued to recover a bal- 

 ance due on the price of vetch seed and 

 a bacterial preparation to be mixed with 

 it. The court affirmed judgment partly 

 in the defendant 's favor on the ground 

 that there was a breach of the plaintiff's 

 warranty as to the germinating power 

 of the seed. 



The first point decided in the opinion 

 on appeal was that tlie evidence was suf- 

 ficient to support a finding that there 

 was a warranty of germinating power, 

 made with a view as to the soil m 

 which the seed was to be sowed. 



The plaintiff, however, contended that,

 and made and even though it formed the
