NOTICE 



To Whom it May Concern: 



Certain parties are traveling through 

 the country purchasing Sweet Corn from 

 farmers with whom the Western Seed & 

 Irrigation Co. holds contracts for the 

 delivery of the said corn. This is to no- 

 tify all such parties - either buyer or sel- 

 ler—that the Company will prosecute to 

 the limit of the law, all parties guilty of 

 such an offense.

Cass Lanning, nurseryman and florist, 

 at Nowata, Okla., will add a full line 

 of seeds for spring. 



Now that Congress is in session again, 

 we shall have to roll up our sleeves and 

 for the 'steenth time wade into the fight 

 against that free seed appropriation. 



Bulbs for bedding have moved much 

 better in the last ten days than in the 

 first days of November, and the surpluses 

 are now well cleaned out, making it a 

 satisfactory season on the whole. 



The wholesale prices of lettuce seed 

 December 1 were from ten to twenty-five 

 per cent higher than last year, and some 

 special sorts higher; Grand Bapids fifty 

 per cent above last year. 



The W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago, suf- 

 fered a slight fire loss last week in one 

 of its temporary storage buildings, at 

 Sturgeon Bay, Wis., caused by water, 

 owing to a fire next door. 



The Planters' Seed Co., Springfield, 

 Mo., is preparing to move the wholesale 

 department into the new warehouse 

 which has just been completed, on the 

 Frisco tracks. The addition of the ware- 

 house located on the switch will be a 

 convenience in handling business in the 

 future. 



The Texas Seed & Floral Co., Dallas, 

 Tex., makes a specialty of poultry food 

 and has just shipped an order of 100 

 sacks to one farm. Three carloads of 

 seed, including oats, were recently ship- 

 ped to South Africa. Mr. Nicholson, the 

 manager, reports export trade as steadily 

 increasing. 



The ramifications of the seed trade are 

 becoming more intricate every year. For 

 instance, to place the cantaloupe seed, or 

 at least a part of it, that goes into the 

 ground in Michigan, in Georgia, in Ten- 

 nessee, in Arizona, and even in Colorado, 

 you have to see a fruit and vegetable 

 commission man in Pittsburg. 



The Maryland Seed corn Breeders' 

 Association held its annual meeting and 

 exhibition at Baltimore December 3 and 

 4. J. Bolgiano & Son say it was "the 

 greatest event of its character ever held 

 in the state." They oflfered a silver 

 cup for the best ten ears of corn in the 

 show. The papers read were by experi- 

 ment station corn breeders.
