probably is fully warranted by the fail- 

 ure of the French and Michigan crops 

 in 1906. On sweet peas, also, the in- 

 crease is not {fttracting the attention it is 

 on onions; on these the prices may be 

 warranted by conditions on the coast, 

 but to the retailer it looks as if the 

 proposed rates are more than the traffic 

 will bear. 



THE LAW IN MAINE. 



"The state of Maine laws regulating 

 the sale of food, feeding stuffs, agri- 

 cultural seeds, and commercial fertiliz- 

 ers, are plain, explicit and reasonable," 

 says Chas. D. Woods, director of the 

 State Experiment Station. "There is 

 an evident desire on the part of most 

 dealers to conform to the laws so far 

 as they understand them. Up to the 

 present time, the endeavors of the ex- 

 ecutive officer of the law have been 

 largely educational. While educational 

 methods will still be used, it may be- 

 come necessary to use other measures in 

 case there are any who seem unwilling 

 to learn. 



"Agricultural seeds must be true to 

 name and carry a guarantee of the per- 

 centage of purity. Considerable poor 

 and unguaranteed grass seed was sold in 

 1906. Such sales must cease. 



"The penalty fof the violation of the 

 provisions of any of the laws is a fine 

 not exceeding $100 for the first offense 

 and not exceeding $200 for each subse- 

 quent offense." 



ABOUT SEED PRICES. 



The maker of the catalogue of the 

 Forrest Seed Co., Cortland, N. Y., must 

 be a reader of the Seed Trade Depart- 

 ment of our esteemed contemporary, the 

 Congressional Record, of Washington, 

 D. C. But he should not believe all that 

 the congressional free-seeders say. This 

 is from the catalogue of the Forrest 

 Seed Co.: 



"We have not waited to see what 

 price the combination or other seedsmen

were going to give in their catalogues. 

 We can afford to sell our seeds at the 

 prices given in this catalogue, and as 

 long as they last you shall have them, 

 and when they are gone, they will be 

 gone until another crop. We will posi- 

 tively not buy and fill orders with other 

 people's seeds we know nothing about. 

 Do you believe in combinations and 

 trusts? If you do, don't buy Forrest's 

 seeds. He makes his own prices. He 

 does not meet with the other seedsmen 

 and agree on a price." 



But on another page we learn that it 

 is not the seed trust but the high rents 

 that govern prices : " So is the day pass- 



ing when you will stop sending to the 

 large cities, to the men who sit in the 

 ninth story of a ten-story building, 

 writing up and painting pictures of 

 plants and vegetables for their cata- 

 logues. We do not give you any colored 

 plates; they cost too much — but we give 

 you value in seed, good, straight, honest 

 seeds, at honest prices. Do you ever 

 think of the enormous expense that the 

 city seedsmen are under? Look at the 

 difference in rents, and other enormous 

 expenses they have compared with ours. ' ' 

 But it is interesting to note that the 

 Forrest Seed Co. asks $2.75 for South- 

 port White Globe onion, and $2.50 for
