ROWE'S BAMBLES. 



Among Eastern Seedsmen. 



An exceptionally good fall trade in 

 seeds, bulbs and strawberry plants, the 

 latter a strong seller with this firm, 

 is reported by William M. Hunt & Co., 

 New York. Several of the Kevitt orig- 

 inations in strawberries, notably Jubi- 

 lee, California and Buekbee, distributed 

 by this house have become extremely 

 popular with eastern growers. 



That prince of eastern seedsmen, 

 Alexander Forbes, of Newark, N. J., 

 seems to have turned back the calendar 

 and to grow more active and juvenile 

 each year. And no wonder, for a suc- 

 cessful business is right under his thumb. 

 Everything points toward making 

 "ForbesTseeds" (For-besT-seeds), a 

 slogan that will be known for several 

 hundred miles around Newark. Eecent 

 changes in the building will give more 

 space for the ofiSces, permit a more rapid 

 handling of orders and carrying a larger 

 stock of vegetable, flower and field seeds. 

 A division of labor in the management 

 of Alexander Forbes & Co. makes Mr. 

 Forbes the active head of the firm, 

 Alexander Forbes, Jr., sales and ad- 

 vertising manager, and John Forbes in 

 charge of the office, store and shipping. 



QUESTION OF SEED WARRANTY. 



A Perennial Problem. 



A seller of seed who represents it to 

 be of a certain variety impliedly war- 

 rants it to be of that variety, although 

 he is not the producer and merely re- 

 peats what has been told him. To avoid 

 liability under such circumstances, he 

 must disclaim any warranty. This is 

 the holding of the Colorado Supreme 

 court in the case of Hise vs. Eomeo 

 Stores Co., 199 Pacific Reporter, 483, 

 wherein the plaintiff sued to recover 

 damages because a quantity of potatoes 

 bought by him from the defendant 

 proved to be other than Early Ohio seed 

 potatoes, for which variety they were 

 sold. 



The Court's Opinion. 



The following quotation from the Su- 

 preme court's opinion sets forth an in- 

 struction given by the trial judge to the 

 jury, and then proceeds to show why 

 this instruction was an inaccurate 

 statement of the law, necessitating re- 

 versal of judgment which the trial judge
