AHEBICAN SEED TRADE ASSOCIATION. 

 President, John M. Lupton, Mattltuck, L. I.: 

 Secretary-Treasurer, O. E. Kendel, Cleveland, O. 



H. G. Pedrick, of George R. Pedrick 

 & Son, accompanied by Mrs. Pedrick, 

 was a Chicago visitor last week, return- 

 ing from California. 



D. I. BusHNBLL, of D. I. Bushnell & 

 Co., St. Louis, was last week elected 

 president of the St. Louig branch of the 

 Navy League of the United States. 



The bankruptcy proceedings in the 

 case of the Johnson Seed Co., Philadel- 

 phia, are reported under the head Busi- 

 ness Embarrassments in this issue. 



The Young-Randolph Seed Co., at 

 Owosso, Mich., has purchased land on 

 which to build a warehouse this summer. 

 The company has been doing business in 

 Owosso a little over a year, occupying 

 rented quarters. 



The shortage of sugar beet seed re- 

 sulting from the stopping of shipments 

 from Germany may be obviated by the 

 importation of Russian seed. It is as- 

 serted that enough to supply all the needs 

 of the United States may be obtained 

 from Russia. 



S. M. IsBELL & Co., Jackson, Mich., 

 grow a large acreage of radish seed in 

 the northern part of Michigan. "We 

 have noticed," they say, "reports to 

 the effect that radish crops in Michigan 

 would be almost total failures. We are 

 glad to say that, although forced to 

 plow up one or two small fields, the pros- 

 pects are that we will harvest a fair crop 

 at least." 



The Zeller Seed Co., at Jefferson, la., 

 has secured a new location, on the North- 

 western tracks, and will erect a seed 

 house immediately. The building com- 

 mittee has returned from a tour of seed 

 houses of Iowa and Illinois, and will 

 equip the establishment in the most mod- 

 ern way. The building will be 44x80 

 feet, two stories high, and of fireproof 

 construction. 



At the annual meeting of the stock- 

 holders of the A. A. Berry Seed Co., 

 Clarinda, la., held upon Mr, Berry's re- 

 turn from the seedsmen's convention at 

 San Francisco, the following oflScers 

 were elected: President, A. A. Berry; 

 secretary, J, F. Sinn, and treasurer, A. 

 F. Galloway. The company recently in- 

 creased its capital stock from $7.5,000 to 

 $150,000, which is fully paid up. It has 

 also a surplus in reserve, which gives a 

 working capital of over $200,000. The 

 company does a wholesale and mail-order 

 business. 



IMPLIED WABRANTY. 



The other day, the Supreme Court of 

 California handed down an opinion 

 holding that a sale of seed at " a sound 

 price warrants a sound article," and 

 that this implied warranty of reason- 

 able germinating qualities cannot be 

 avoided by inserting in the invoice or 

 bill of lading covering the shipment 

 a disclaimer of warranty. There is 

 nothing in the opinion, however, con- 

 trary tp the well recognized rule of 

 law that a disclaimer of warranty may 

 be made a part of the terms of a con- 

 tract of sale; it is merely decided that 

 the disclaimer is too late when first 

 asserted in the invoice or bill of lad-
