the very eyes of the farmer, because the 

 least delay will cause great loss and sub- 

 sequent trouble with everybody handling 

 such seeds. 



The regular exporters of seeds have 

 ■come to understand these things and ex- 

 ercise the most minute supervision over 

 their crops in all details, so that they 

 may be certain of the quality of the 

 product. They will no longer purchase 

 crops of the production of which they 

 have no personal knowledge. Also, they 

 are most careful in the selection of the 

 bulbs for planting for seed purposes, so 

 that there is steady improvement in true- 

 ness to type.
