tural journals, but that it is practiced 

 by observing seed producers is made 

 plain by this clipping from a Colorado 

 farm paper: 



The California seed growers who contracted 

 for 110 acres of seed stock in the Greeley dis- 

 trict are disappointed in the crop, for they are 

 not securing more than half a yield. These 

 onions were contracted to be grown at 70 cents 

 per 100, and it was thought that 30,000 sacks 

 would result, but the attacks of lice cut the crop 

 short. As fast as the onions are harvested they 

 are shipped to the coast, where they will be 

 replanted for the production of seed. The best 

 yield yet reported was five acres from wlilch an 

 average of 300 sacks an acre were taken. 



"Better results would doubtless be 

 had by coming to the Atlantic coast, 

 where our commercial onion varieties 

 have been largely developed, and where 

 the most careful efforts to perfect the 

 types are still made, but the climate 

 of northern Colorado furnishes seasons 

 far more clearly cut than California. 

 Sweet pea stock seeds for California 

 planting are to some extent grown ;n 

 New York and New England. The 

 practice is quite certain to extend, as 

 western seed-growing problems are fur- 

 ther elaborated. Lima beans, nastur- 

 tiums, petunias and a host of tropical 

 and semi-tropical varieties, however, 

 seem entirely at home in that land of 

 abundant sunshine, and may be expect- 

 ed to improve steadily under the foster- 

 ing care of their growers." 



Dr. Van Fleet seems wholly to have 

 lost sight of the fact that the pur- 

 pose of the Califomian growers in con- 

 tracting for the crop at Greeley, Colo., 

 was the prime necessity for replenish- 

 ing their stocks of bulbs, the quantity 

 available for planting for seeds in the 

 Santa Clara valley having fallen below 

 their needs. We doubt if the Cali- 

 fomian growers will admit any thought 

 of necessity for * ' revitalization " in 

 their stocks by using Colorado bulbs. 



BOLGIANCyS DISCLAIMER STICKS. 



In the matter of the non-warranty suit 

 won December 12 by J. Bolgiano & Son, 

 Baltimore, the New York Commercial 

 says: "The Bolgianos advanced two con- 

 tentions. One was that the seed had not 

 been planted in land favorable to its 

 development. The other was that in any 

 circumstances they were not responsible 

 for the failure of seed. This latter 

 ground was taken in view of a disclaimer 

 of responsibility which they averred was 

 distinctly printed on seed packages, bill 

 heads and in their catalogues. 



' ' Some years ago, it is stated, the seeds- 

 men of the United States, anticipating 

 trouble through the failure of seed sold 

 by one or another of them, employed the 

 best legal talent available to provide a 

 method of avoiding damages in just such 

 cases. The advice of the lawyers was 

 that a disclaimer of responsibility be
