SEED INSPECTION IN MAINE. 



The Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, at Orono, is now mailing bulle- 

 tin 138, containing analyses of samples 

 of grass and other seeds collected by the 

 inspector and analyzed by the station 

 in 1906. The results of the analyses in- 

 dicate that there was considerable poor 

 grass seed sold in Maine last year. The 

 timothy, for the most part, was tolerably 

 clean and free from injurious weeds. 

 Redtop not only contained large amounts 

 of waste materials and a good deal of 

 lower priced seeds, but in many instances 

 it was loaded with weeds. Much of the 

 clover seed examined, however, proved 

 to be much poorer than the other kind 

 of seeds. Not only did the clover fre- 

 quently contain a long list of weeds, but 

 many samples contained the spores of 

 ergot. 



This is the second bulletin that has 

 been issued since the law providing for 

 the inspection of seeds sold in Maine 

 was enacted. The bulletin states that 

 no prosecutions were made, on the two- 

 fold ground that in most instances the 

 dealers were ignorant of the require- 

 ments of the law, and that they them- 

 selves were imposed upon when they 

 made their purchases. Notices have 

 been scut to all dealers whose names 

 appear in the Maine Register, calling 

 their attention to the law, and to the 

 fact that sales of bad, unguaranteed 

 seeds must stop. 



Ottcmwa, Ia. — F. M. Teter reports 

 a fine business for Easter. He says there 

 are four florists in Ottumwa and all do- 

 ing good business. 



Alexandria, IMi.vx. — Mrs. Joseph 

 Pennar, who has just recovered from 

 an illness, reports a good Easter trade; 

 everything sold out. She has just built 

 a new greenhouse to accommodate her 

 rapidh' increasing retail trade.

NEWPORT, R. L 



The Easter Market. 



There was plenty business this Easter 

 for every florist and grower in New- 

 port, and were it not a fact that in 

 many cases lilies were disappointing it 

 would have been a record breaker in 

 profits; but lilies were disappointing 

 and in consequence business was only 

 fairly good in net profits. Hundreds of 

 lilies grown by local men failed to come 

 up to time and what made matters
