EFFECT OF LOW PRICES. 



[A paper by C. N. Keeney, of Le Roy, N. Y., 

 read before the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion, in convention at Detroit, June 23 to 25, 

 1908.] 



Regarding the "Effect of Low Prices 

 on the Production of fiigh Grade Seed 

 Stocks," we have simply to refer to a 

 little recent history. Fifteen to twenty 

 years ago a poor stock of Alaska peas 

 was as rare as a good stock of the same 

 variety is now. Up to that time prices 

 had been good. There was money in 

 Alaskas for the farmer, for the seed 

 grower, for the seedsman and for the 

 planter, but overproduction resulted in 

 low prices, and low prices caused a lack 

 of interest and a relaxing of that eter- 

 nal vigilance which is the price of suc- 

 cess in producing a good stock or in 

 keeping it good. 



The thrashing machines used in 

 thrashing Alaskas were also used in 

 thrashing Blue Imperials, Wisconsin 

 Blues and other field varieties, and when- 

 ever a thrashing machine changes from 

 one variety to another, it is pretty cer- 

 tain to carry a few quarts of peas in 

 the machine and add them to the next

Famous Strains of Mam- 

 moth Mixed Pansies 



8. & W. Co.'s Non Plus Uitra 



Our Non Plus Ultra Pansj is a mixture con- 

 taining the largest, handsomest, most perfect

 and variety of marking give a bed of these pan- 

 sies a most brilliant appearance. The seed hav- 

 ing been saved from the greatest assortment of 

 types, including only the best of f^iant Cassiers, 

 Bugnots. Trimardeaux and Giant English, 

 French and German strains. Finest mixed, per 

 trade pkt., 25c.; per ^4 oz., $1.50; per oz., $5.00.

 from the very largest and finest pansies, of all 

 the varieties; and we can safely say that a bet- 

 ter or finer strain it is impossible to get. Per

Very Large Flowering Varieties 



These are remarkably large Pansies, 

 which, for size of flowers and robust growth, 

 eclipse all other strains. Their range of 

 color has heretofore been limited, but this 

 reason we are able to ofTer several grand 

 new varieties. Tr. pkt. M oz. oz.
