Similar in habit of growth to Asparagus 

 Sprengeri, but with smaller foliage of a 

 peculiarly pleasing light green color, which 

 shows up very distinct and pleasing under 

 artificial light. Very useful to grow on 

 into specimens in 6, 7 or 8-inch pans for 

 apartment decoration. 



3-inch pots, $2.O0 per doz., $15.00 per lOO

 legislative action appear more unneces- 

 sary f 



But we need standardization for 

 greater reasons — to make buying and 

 selling easier and minimize business mis- 

 understandings; to enable us to grow 

 stock of standard sizes and grades; to 

 insure receiving and delivering stock 

 that wUl be according to written order, 

 thus protecting both buyer and seller; 

 to print readable and understandable 

 catalogues, and in general as an aid to 

 better and more profitable business. 



A Los Angeles jury recently awarded 

 a local trucker $4,000 damages against 

 a well known California seed house for 

 delivering $48 worth of celery seed un- 

 true to name, the usual non-warranty 

 clause failing to protect the seedsmen 

 for this large amount in excess of the 

 cost of the seeds. 



Is a non-warranty clause advisable 

 and is it possible to devise one that 

 protects? This is one important ques- 

 tion for a standardization committee to 

 consider. 



Efforts of Others. 



The nurserymen of Illinois are mak- 

 ing a worthy attempt to standardize 

 cost and accounting methods. We wish 

 tlicm success, but to me there are many

other phases of standardization that 

 need attention before comparative costs 

 can be intelligently considered; and 

 chief of these is stock tjradinjr. 



The Chicago Bulb Forcers' Associa- 

 tion has adopted a uniform order blank 

 or agreement for use in its dealings 

 with Holland bulb growers. This not 

 only stipulates terms of purchase and 

 ])ayinent, but attempts to standardize 

 the quality of bulbs to be supplied, as 

 well as methods of shipment and de- 

 livery.

The firm said, "As you know, tliere is 

 no nursery scale whioli justifies grading 

 in such a manner. Such grading con- 

 fuses the purchaser of nursery stock.
