cut the delivery in many cases down 

 fifty per cent, and the situation is ob- 

 vious. Nobody got all the sets he wanted 

 and nobody has all the sets he needs. It 

 goes without saying, therefore, that no 

 one will be likely to cut prices. 



IMPORTS. 



The imports of seed through the port 

 of New York for the week ending Feb. 

 1 were as follows:

A SIOUX CITY CONTROVEHSY. 



Upon the allegation that the Sioux 

 City Bird and Seed Store, of which L. G. 

 Wertz is the proprietor, has been infring- 

 ing upon its trade name, the Sioux City 

 Seed and Nursery Co. at Sioux City, la., 

 January 31 secured from Judge Hutch- 

 inson a temporary writ of injunction re- 

 straining Wertz from using his business 

 title. The plaintiff also demands dam- 

 ages in the sum of $1,000. 



The Sioux City Seed and Nursery Co. 

 claims that Wertz has unlawfully and 

 fraudulently used its trade name in a 

 manner calculated to injure and inter- 

 fere with its business. The company 

 avers that its line is known as "Sioux 

 City seeds" and as such has gained a 

 wide reputation; that through the al- 

 leged similarity of names on several oc- 

 casions customers of the plaintiff have 

 been misled, and a loss of trade has re- 

 sulted. It is stated that Wertz has been 

 using the name for a long time; that he 

 has had no seed business of importance, 

 and that since he adopted the name he 

 has made no efforts to establish the same. 



ONION SEED. 



In commenting on the letter of Charles 

 P. Braslan, which recently appeared in 

 the Review, in which Mr. Braslan dis- 

 claimed for the California growers any 

 object in growing onions in Colorado 

 other than securing a stock of onion 

 bulbs after the season for planting seed 

 in California had passed, \V. Van Fleet, 

 in the Rural New-Yorker, says: 



"In accepting this assurance we ven- 

 ture to predict benefit from a continu- 

 ance of the plan of growing onion bulbs 

 in climates where the seasonal changes 

 are suflBciently well marked, even if the. 

 actual commercial seeds are afterwards 

 grown in the sunlit valleys of California,
