July 23, 1908. 



cent is yellow stock, twenty-two per cent 

 white and three per cent red. It is noted 

 that there is some decrease in whites. 

 The sets will run about the same in size 

 as last season. A grower on the Jeffer- 

 Bontown road, who had harvested his 

 crop by July 10, is reported to have 

 gathered 450 bushels of sets from forty 

 pounds of seed planted. 



OTHER LINES NO COMPARISON. 



The Rural New-Yorker is not yet sat- 

 isfied that a seedsman should not assume 

 a liability of some thousands of dollars 

 on a sale amounting to a mere bagatelle, 

 and tells the story of a man who wants 

 to make a specialty of growing Prize- 

 taker onion for transplanting. "The 

 seedsman sent him the wrong seed and 

 hurt his trade. This seedsman simply 

 oflfere to send him more seed without a 

 guarantee of any sort! It must be clear 

 to any man that such an offer amounts 

 to little or nothing. How is the farmer 

 to know that the new seed is any better 

 than the oldf The seedsman will not 

 even guarantee it true to name! Where 

 everything depends on having the gen- 

 uine variety and where the variety can- 

 not be told when the plants are shipped, 

 how can any seedsman expect a farmer 

 to buy seeds and take all the risk? The 

 blunder of a clerk in sending the wrong 

 seed might mean a loss of hundreds of 

 dollars to the grower. We do not know 

 of any other business in which the seller 

 •would not be held at once liable for such 

 loss. ' ' 



From a seedsman 's point of view such 

 reasoning is manifestly unfair, but the 

 point that hurts is that such statements 

 should be given publicity by one classed 

 as a friend, one who has personal interest 

 in horticultural matters and who has a 

 reputation for fairness which makes his 

 opinion usually of value. The editor of 

 the Rural New-Yorker should take into 

 consideration the history of the pound 

 of Prizetaker onion seed the seedsman 

 sells for $2 and on which he is asked to 

 assume responsibility, to the tune of hun- 

 dreds of dollars, for the purchaser's suc- 

 cess. No one can assume so broad a 

 responsibility; the methods of the com- 

 mercial production of seeds and their 

 distribution and after treatment forbid; 

 a great increase in prices would not 

 make an unqualified guaranty practica- 

 ble. Any seedsman will stand back of 

 his seeds so long as they are out of the 

 ground, but that is as far as it is safe 

 for any seedsman to go. 



Louisville, Ky. — A terrific wind July 

 17 inflicted a heavy loss on the Anchor- 

 age Rose Co., several houses being badly 

 broken up. 



Salt Lake City, Utah. — Ernest Cra- 

 mer and Bernard Cramer, in a complaint 

 filed in the district court, allege that 

 their brother, Christopher Cramer, is as- 

 suming too much authority in the conduct 

 of their partnership business, known as 

 the Cramer Floral Co. They ask for an 

 accounting. 



YouNGSTOWN, O. — The trustee in 

 bankruptcy has filed application for leave 

 to sell all the realty of the Templin Co., 

 a't Calla. The hearing will be held July 

 28. Application also has been made for 

 leave to sell the lease of the Youngstown 

 store at private sale for $300. Applica- 

 tion also has been made for allowance of 

 prior claims in full before dividends to 

 general creditors, as follows: Receiver, 

 .$1,190; attorney's fees, $77."5.49.

 there will be a million dollars' worth of

 incalculable damage. This is already in-
