The seed selling season has tapered 

 off rapidly in the last few days. The 

 season is about over. It has been an 

 unusually good one. 



A NEW seed store has been opened at 

 Atlanta, Ga. The name of the concern 

 is the Smith Bros. Seed Co. and its head- 

 quarters are at 127 Whitehall street. 



Florists will have none of the old 

 type of sweet peas after this season's 

 market experience and it looks as though 

 the gardening public soon will call for 

 Spencer varieties almost exclusively for 

 outdoor use. 



The Senate passed the agricultural 

 appropriation bill May 23, with the free 

 seeds appropriation left out. The bill 

 now is in conference, where the House 

 friends of free seeds will try to have 

 their paragraph put back, as has been 

 done before. 



DAMAGE SUITS FOLLOW FIBE. 



As a result of the falling of the west 

 wall of the Missouri Athletic Club on 

 the store of the St. Louis Seed Co., at 

 St. Louis, Mo., after the disastrous fire 

 last March, the seed company is de- 

 fendant in two damage suits for a total 

 of $45,000. Herman Cobb, a salesman 

 for the St. Louis Seed Co., has sued the 

 Boatmen's Bank, which owned the Mis- 

 souri Athletic Club building; the seed 

 company and the Gray-Wimmer Con- 

 struction Co. for $25,000, for injuries he 

 received when the wall fell. Joseph 

 McNally, a laborer, has sued the seed 

 company, the Gray-Wimmer Construc- 

 tion Co., the Boatmen's Bank and the 

 Central Eeal Estate Co. for $20,000, for 

 injuries he suffered when the wall fell. 



A MATTEB OF NAMES. 



In a recent issue of The Review there 

 was reference to the case of Passinger 

 vs. Thorburn in the matter of a liti- 

 gation over a certain seed transaction. 

 We suppose you know that this Thor- 

 burn has never had any connection with 

 the house of J. M. Thorburn & Co., 

 though many of your readers may think 

 the citation refers to us. The above- 

 mentioned Thorburn was a William 

 Thorburn, in business in Albany for a 

 number of years. The case in question 

 we remember well as the result of the 

 selling of a certain variety of cabbage 

 seed away back in 1857. The case was 

 not finally decided by the Court of Ap- 

 peals of the state of New York until 

 1866. 



We are making this meniorandum be- 

 cause most people would certainly oth- 

 erwise infer that the case in question 

 referred to our house, while, as we have
