Wintersnn's "Combination"

 ially recommended.

.T. C. Robiiisdii, who in his address at 

 Atlantic City as president of the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association, said: 



"The satisfaction of knowing just 

 what your goods are to cost you much 

 more tlian otl'sets tliis increase in rate. 

 Tiie wliole situation is pertinently ex- 

 pressed by a heavy importer, who says: 

 'I may say that we are greatly pleased 

 with the operation of the new measure. 

 The possibility of being charged with 

 fraud if goods were entered at the 

 prices paid had been a niglitnuire to the 

 company's oflicers for more than thirty 

 years, and under the old system there 

 seemed to be no escape from the di- 

 lemma of running the risk of fine or 

 imprisonment on the one hand or sub- 

 mitting to the humiliation of swearing 

 to false values on the other. No sys- 

 tem of imposts could be worse than 

 one entailing these consequences, and 

 both as seedsmen and citizens we re- 

 joice in the enactment of a schedule 

 which applied equally to the importer 

 of one pound or a thousand tons and 

 which can be administered and com- 

 plied with without stultification.' 

 Tariffs may change, but the seed trade 

 will always stand for specific duties 

 as against ad valorem duties."

SEED TRADE IN ROCHESTER. 



The seed trade in Rochester is doing 

 its full share of the work of preparing 

 the welcome for the Society of Ameri- 

 can Florists, which holds its annual 

 convention there in August, and Charles 

 W. Crosman, of Crosman Bros., has pre- 

 pared an article, "The Seed Trade in 

 Rochester," for publication in the Sou- 

 venir that is to be published to defray 

 part of the expenses. He writes as fol- 

 lows: 



"The extent to which both whole- 

 sale and retail ])roduction of seed is 

 carried on in and aV)out this city is 

 very great atid has beiMi for many years. 

 The cultivation of garden and llower 

 seeds in large quantities l)egiin in this 

 vicinity about J,S3S. and has been car- 

 ried on ever since, gradually increasing 

 from year to year. Tracts of land used 

 for the cultivation of seeds in earlier 

 days are now covered with fine resi- 

 dences, and in maiiv instances business 



Idocl^s have driven seei^-jiroducing in 

 terests to the suburbs of the city and 

 farther into the country. The county 

 of IMonroe has in the jiast turned nut 

 many growers who have established 

 themselves in tlie business, and liave 

 become popular throughout the United 

 States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 

 ' ' Not only are standard varieties of 

 vegetable seeds produced in this vicin- 

 ity in large quantities, but tlower sc .Is 

 as well. In the immediate vicinitv .if
