cumber and melon seeds, with a total 

 market value of $1,072. The seeds 

 were consigned to a large supply house 

 in Chicago and were procured from a 

 special machine purchased last summer 

 by the Van der Karrsj^ who have for 

 many years been prominent melon 

 growers in this county. The entire crop 

 of melons and cucumbers was allowed 

 to mature and was run through the 

 machine and the seeds extracted. The 

 senior Van der Karr has specialized on 

 the growing of melons in Arom^ town- 

 ship for the past forty-nine years. ' ' 



SEED ACREAGE NOTXiHANOED. 



Report has come from San..To8e, Cal., 

 of a sale of part of the real estate 

 holdings of the Braslan Seed Growers' 

 Co. In explaining the transaction, ,T.* 

 W. Edmundson, sales manager for the 

 company, says: 



"The Braslan Seed Growers' Co. 

 purchased on speculation 650 acres of 

 land on Downer avenue, south of San 

 •lose. When this land came into our 

 possession it was largely marsh. We 

 drained it and improved it to a consid- 

 erable extent. It wa^t^not our policy 

 to use it for seed purpwws. For a time 

 it was rented to the Kimberlin Seed 

 Co. During our ownership we grew one 

 crop of seed on the property. As I 

 said before, it was purely a specula- 

 tion, and just as soon as we found a 

 buyer we sold it. This was merely a 

 little outside business and does not af- 

 fect our output of seed in the slightest 

 particular. ' '

To try and do away with 

 the middleman in the bulb 

 importing business is like 

 trying to economize on the 

 policeman in the middle of a 

 busy street. It's a sort of 

 finesse that seldom works 

 out profitably. There are so 

 many ways a buyer can be- 

 come a loser by doing his 

 own importing that it is not 

 policy for the average grower 

 to do it. It is a business by 

 itself, and it's better for most 

 buyers to buy from an Amer- 

 ican house than a foreign 

 one, because you can get in 

 quick, close touch with those 

 responsible without dilficulty 

 and expense. This alone has 

 saved buyers many a dollar 

 that would otherwise have 

 been lost to brokers and 

 other parasites, whose busi- 

 ness it is to prey upon the 

 unwary and ignorant in all 

 sorts of ways that cost 

 money. Buy your bulbs and 

 plants from good, first-class 

 American houses— in the 

 long run you can't do better 

 anyway, and, besides, by 

 helping Americans you help 

 yourself and encourage home 

 industry. What business do 

 you get from a man entirely 

 foreign to this country? 

 Who supports you and your 

 business — the Americans or 

 the foreigners? Support 

 those who support you — and, 

 above all, don't let a for- 

 eigner sail home with a mort- 

 gage on your bank account 

 and a lien on your business. 



In the interest of Horse- 

 shoe Brand Bulbs. Write for 

 prices.
