The Weekly Florists' Review.

Emersoii was a partner and of which he 

 was the general manager. To satisfy an 

 indebtedness contracted by Mr. Stimmel 

 personally in connection with his own 

 individual business the Omaha National 

 Bank attached and sold at sheriff's sale 

 the entire stock of seeds, including those 

 belonging to the partnership of Stimmel 

 A Emerson. This action was bitterly 

 opposed by Mr. Emerson at the time and 

 resulted in a damage suit against the 

 bank for the benefit of the creditors, 

 which at the expiration of a ten years' 

 litigation was decided in favor of the 

 bank and against Mr, Emerson and the 

 other creditors he represented. 



After the judgments referred to had 

 been rendered against Mr, Emerson as 

 a partner of Mr. Stimmel it was decided 

 by the Supreme Court of Nebraska that 

 Mr. Emerson was not a partner of Mr, 

 Stimmel 's and not liable for the debts of 

 the company, but this decision came too 

 late to have the judgments against him 

 set aside. 



Under such existing conditions Mr. 

 Emerson naturally seeks relief from a 

 burden that was none of his own creat- 

 ing, but which had been judicially thrust 

 upon him while fighting for the rights of 

 himself and other creditors in the case. 



DEATH OF GEORGE V. CROSffiR. 



George W. Crosier, well known in the 

 field seeds department of the trade, died 

 suddenly at the home of his daughter, 

 Mrs. Orton Moulton, at Batavia, N. Y., 

 on May 13. Mr. Crosier resided in Buf- 

 falo and went to Batavia on Saturday 



George V. Crosier. 



with his wife and was feeling unusually 

 well on Saturday night. In the night he 

 was seized with heart failure and died 

 before medical aid could be called. 



George W. Crosier was born in Buffalo, 

 1839, and had always made Buffalo his 

 home. He was the last of the original 

 members of the Irving Kester Seed Co., 

 with which he had been connected dur- 

 ing his entire business life. The com- 

 {)any is a considerable institution in its 

 ine. They handle the field bean business 

 to a certain extent but do not touch the 

 garden seed end. Mr. Crosier was a 

 veteran of the Civil War, having served 

 in the navy of the United States. He is 

 survived by his wife and three children,

EUROPEAN SEED NOTES. 



The weather the last few days has 

 been all against the Enghsh seed grow- 

 ers, J.4 degrees of frost occurring in the 

 west of England. The eastern counties 

 have also suffered severely, many inches 

 of snow having fallen in some places. 

 Truly, the lot of the British seed growers 

 is not a happy one in seasons like these. 



Eeports are, although they may be 

 somewhat premature, that nearly all 

 stocks of seeds are well cleared in flower, 

 vegetable and agricultural lines, peas and 

 beans being a very heavy exception. 

 Flower seeds have gone particularly well, 

 which goes to show the country is in a 

 better spenaing condition. It is only in 

 prosperous times that flower seeds get 

 cleaned up thoroughly. There may be 

 a considerable surplus of turnips, sweeds, 

 and perhaps sprouts throughout Europe, 

 but one or two seasons Iikc the present 

 growing crops promise to be, will draw 

 heavily on any surplus and a clean-out 

 will be welcome. 



There is increased complaint of the 

 prevalence of dodder in clover, etc. This 

 would soon be stamped out if the same 

 measures were adopted in this country 

 as were in France in 1904. In that and 

 preceding years, clover and lucerne culti- 

 vation was so severely hampered that 

 the Government Agricultural Department 

 required farmers to destroy the dodder 

 wherever it appeared on their land, by 

 uprooting the whole crop and burying, 

 and afterwards sowing with some plant 

 on which dodder is unable to exist — such 

 as oats, etc., if the dodder had already 

 advanced to a propagating stage the crop
