SEED WARRANTY. 



Referring to the stateme»ti%^of lead- 

 * ing seedsmen in the matter of non- 

 warranty of Prizetaker onion, the editor 

 of the Rural New Yorker says: 



"Under the circumstances they take 

 a sensible position, for anyone who 

 knows about seed growing will under- 

 stand how many chances there are for 

 a mix-up. In some cases, however, the 

 mistakes of a seedsman are serious, and 

 lead to great trouble and loss. One 

 case now up for adjustment is a typical 

 one. An onion grower of long experi- 

 ence has developed a good trade for a 

 white onion. He bought seed, as 

 he supposed, of this variety last spring 

 from a prominent seedsman. The pack- 

 age was marked properly, but bore the 

 usual statement about a seedsman 's guar- 

 antee. You can't tell one variety of 

 onion seed from another, and this seed 

 was all planted and well cared for. A large 

 proportion of it turned out to be an 

 inferior yellow onion. Thus the grow- 

 er not only lost several hundred dol- 

 lars on his crops, but his special market 

 for white onions was injured, since he 

 could not supply his regular customers. 

 He claims, and with reason, that some 

 one in the seedsman's employ made a
