federal court alleging a fraudulent use 

 of the mails. An indictment was found 

 in November, 1913, and the case canae 

 to trial last week before Judge F. A. 

 GeigW, resulting in two of the defend- 

 ants being fined $200 each. 



It is expected that the case will lead 

 to the investigation of the dealings of 

 other seedsmen and to similar prosecu- 

 tions should the evidence justify; also 

 that the case will be pointed to by those 

 who are demanding a national pure seed 

 law as a reason for such demand. The 

 trade, however, will put the opposite 

 construction on the ineideut. 



KEEPINO THEM IN LINE. 



The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has directed the Texas & Pacific rail- 

 road to refund $9 to the Texas Seed & 

 Floral Co., because of overcharges on 

 garden seed shipped from California to 

 Dallas, Tex.

"FREIGHT AND D#TY PAID." 



The Holland bulb salesmen, in their 

 efforts to take the busioesa from Ameri- 

 can jobbers, have brought about a con- 

 dition that is not specially, relished by 

 the Dutch exporters. Many buyers re- 

 fused to msrite direct importations be- 

 cause of the uncertain items of cost 

 incident to freight, insurance, duty, 

 brokerage, etc., and in the effort to 

 get these orders the Hollanders began 

 quoting a delivered price. The custom 

 has grown until it is a burden. The ex- 

 porter in Holland does not enjoy put- 

 ting up his cash for freight and duty 

 and waiting until after Easter to get 

 it back along with the payment for his 

 merchandise. Even where bulbs have 

 been sold at a delivered price they 

 usually reach the buyer with the freight 

 and duty collect, but the broker has 

 instructions that if the buyer absolute- 

 ly refuses to meet these payments, and 

 deduct them from the bill, the broker 

 is to advance the money on behalf of 

 the exporter. 



American jobbers view the situation 

 with mixed feelings. They note that 

 this method has obtained tor the ex- 

 porters some orders that formerly could 

 not be touched, but, on the other hand, 

 the growing necessity of investing 

 large sums in freight and duty is de- 

 terring some Holland exporters from
