the acreage is about one-third less than 

 last year. 



Visited New York: L. B. Schulte, 

 of Beichardt & Schulte Co., Houston, 

 Tex. 



Almost the whole of Europe is having 

 a hot wave, similar to that which alarmed 

 seed growers in this country a few weeks 

 ago. 



The seed trade will be interested in 

 the illustrated account of the sweet pea 

 show in England on another page of this 

 issue. 



Aethub G. Lee, Fort Smith, Ark., says 

 the demand for seeds in western Arkansas 

 and Oklahoma has been unprecedented 

 for July. 



The Eudy-Patrick Seed Co., Kansas 

 City, has been incorporated, with $40,000 

 authorized capital stock, by Prank Rudy, 

 Howard S. Patrick and John W. Miller. 



CANADIAN KECIPBOCITY. 



The United States has at length 

 adopted the Canadian reciprocity bill, 

 but it will not go into effect until after 

 the Canadian Parliament adopts it. 

 The seed paragraph is as follows, un- 

 der the heading of "Reciprocal Free 

 List": 



"Seeds: Flaxseed or linseed, cotton 

 seed, and other oil seeds; grass seed, 

 including timothy and clover seed; gar- 

 den, field and other seed not herein 

 otherwise provided for, when in pack- 

 ages weighing over onb pound each (not 

 including flower seeds)." 



The principal item of seeds that this 

 will admit free into the United States 

 when grown in Canada is peas. "What 

 seeds we sell to Canada is shown by the 

 following figures for the year ended

POSITION OF DISCLAIMEB. 



The need for a change in the letter- 

 head position of the disclaimer was first 

 called to the attention of the seed trade 

 through the publication of the follow- 

 ing note in this column July 28, 1910: 



An attorney whose specialty is commercial law 

 states that no part of what may be printed on a 

 letter-head is a part of a contract unless it be 

 between the date line and the signature, except 

 a reference appears between those parts to prac- 

 tically bring the outside words within the body

of the letter Itself. This would apply to the 

 non-warranty clause as printed on most seeds- 

 men's stationery. 



This was the subject of considerable 

 discussion among the trade and many 

 letters reached The Review, from seeds- 

 men who wanted further information. 

 These were advised that the opinion 

 was based, among other things, on a 

 decision of the Supreme Court of Illi- 

 nois in which it was held that ' ' printed 

 matter in a letter-head forms no part
