elation. In him a remarkable personality 

 has passed away, an experienced man in 

 business and seed-growing, always ready 

 to give advice to those who needed it. 

 He leaves a widow and grown-up family. 



Editorial work on the catalogues, in 

 most cases, is progressing rapidly, it 

 having been discovered that nothing is 

 lost by giving printers a little time for 

 their share of the task. 



ouABANTEBnra seeds. 



To exploit its own work, the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture has sent out 

 a press circular which says in part: 



"A most hopeful sign, indicative of 

 results largely attributable to the per- 

 sistent efforts heretofore made by the 

 United States Department of Agricul- 

 ture in the line of seed testing, is 

 manifest from fln inspection of the 

 catalogues of more than fifty of the 

 principal seed dealers of the country. 



"AH of the firms referred to make 

 definite statements that they test their 

 seeds for germination. Nine firms 

 advise purchasers to send samples 

 either to the seed testing laboratory of 

 the U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 or to a state experiment station to be 

 tested. Seven firms state that they 

 themselves follow this course in regard 

 to the seeds they offer and that the 

 seeds are thereby officially guaranteed 

 to be of the high grade represented. Six 

 '* firms allow a stated time for making 

 a test, advise purchasers to make such 

 test on receipt of seeds, and request 

 the return of seeds which do not satis- 

 factorily meet the test. 



"Five firms state that the seeds they 

 are selling comply with state laws, and 

 a number of firms give the percentage 

 of purity and germination in compli- 

 ance with state laws. 



"These statements indicate that com- 

 petition between seed dealers is be- 

 coming more and more a competition 

 based on quality — a healthful tendency 

 from the standpoint of both customer^ 

 and honest dealers."
