 been raised by sale of the goods at a 

 sound price. The decision was an- 

 nounced in the case of Sanders vs. D.

 of a sale of seed potatoes, which plain- 

 tiflf buyer claimed were defective. 



LANDSETH'S UTTLE LECTUBE. 



On the Tioubles of the Seedsman. 



In its 1915 general catalogue, the 

 D. Landreth Seed Co., Bristol, Pa., de- 

 votes nearly two pages to a story of 

 seed supply. Designed for lay con- 

 sumption, there may not be much in it 

 that is new to a well informed seeds- 

 man, but it is easy reading and is here 

 quoted in part: 



^ "For its seed supplies the whole 

 World is now drawn upon by cultiva- 

 tors of gardens for table vegetables 

 and ornamental flowers. This autumn 

 of 1914 the European war has resulted 

 in the absolute destruction in some 

 parts of the unharvested seed crops of 

 1914 and the burning up or waste of 

 seeds already saved, this being an irre- 

 parable loss so far as seeds are con- 

 cerned. 



"As to following crop of 1915, there 

 has been a neglect to sow seeds and to 

 cultivate them in fields where they 

 have been sown to produce biennial 

 plants, as cabbage, beet, turnip, carrot 

 and other similar things to make seed 

 a year hence. Really, the shortage in 

 biennial seeds a year hence will be more 

 seriously felt when the time comes to 

 purchase seed for 1916 than at present, 

 for the reason that other seed-produc- 

 ing districts have not prepared for the 

 emergency. 



"Everything in the list of most de- 

 sirable garden table vegetables can be 

 grown somewhere in the United States, 

 but it is not so with the seed of many 

 things, for, while the plants can be 

 grown to an edible stage, the seed, on 

 the other hand, cannot be entirely de- 

 veloped to a profitable degree — that is, 

 commeTCially profitable. For instance, 

 take the cauliflower head as used on 

 the ta^e and its seed: two distinct 

 proceS8e»-of development, the seed pro- 

 duction subsequent to the edible prod- 

 uct requiring peculiar climatic and soil 

 conditions to complete its later and per- 

 fect development. This most delicious 

 vegetable can be grown to perfection 

 in some parts of nearly all countries, 

 but the seed, as to large quantities, 

 taking a world-wide view, is grown 

 principally in the vicinity of the Baltic 

 and North seas; a little elsewhere, but 

 uncertain of development and profit. 



"To illustrate the world-wide spread- 

 ing out of the seed-growing interests 

 we will refer to the 150,000 pounds or 

 more of onion seed annually grown in 

 the Canary Islands off the coast of 

 Africa, produced almost exclusively for 

 the American market; also to the im- 

 mense quantities of garden peas grown
