ahead of that of last year, wliilo April's 

 business, in s])ito of the bad weather, 

 WHS every bit as ^jood as that a year 

 ago. 



One may obtain a good idea of the 

 trade's progress in Australia and New 

 Zealand from the first annual review of 

 the Australasian Seed and Nursery Trade, 

 published March, 1921, which contains 

 reports of important annual conventions. 



Aiding the seedsmen's publicity cani- 

 ])aign, though quite independently, the 

 United States Department of Agriculture 

 is disseminating, by its weekly news let- 

 ter and mimeographed press dispatches, 

 much gardening information for ama- 

 teurs. 



"'Business goiny along in great 

 shape, with not a conij)laiiit to nialie, " 

 was the comment of .lohn ('. Leonard, 

 of the I^eonaid Seed Co., Chicago. He 

 stated that there was all the business the 

 company could use for this yenr and that 

 there is a good start for next year. 



"A MO.ST tt>rrific business" was the

 firm of Peter Hollenbach, Chicago, char-

Defendant's attorney insisted that, 

 before ])laintiff could recover, it must be 

 shown that the seed measured up to the 

 required standar<l of vitality. The court, 

 however, held that this was not neces-
