GLADIOLI 



Try GOLDEN QUEEN and PRESIDENT TAFT for forcing. 



One customer writes under date of May 25th: — 



"The Grolden Queen that I ordered from you were planted in a carnation 

 house on February 7th, and we are now getting fine spikes and handsome flowers. 

 I find your variety to be one week earlier than Mrs. Francis King, ten days earlier 

 than Augusta and two weeks ahead of America. They have been perfectly satisfac- 

 tory in every way." 



I have alao a fine stock of Mrs. King;, Klondyke, Taconic, Independence, Brenchleyensis, Geo. Paul 



and other kinds. Write for trade list.

in official view, by the Customs Court 

 decision in the appeal of Breck vs. the 

 United States. 



A FIRE in the office of the Successful 

 Farming Publishing Co., Des Moines, la., 

 December 9, gave the Iowa Seed Co. a 

 close call on its catalogues. The catalogue 

 recfotres four carloads of paper and the 

 work is about two-thirds complete. For a 

 while it was feared that the entire build- 

 ing would go, but the fire was finally ex- 

 tinguished and little damage was done to 

 the catalogues. It would have been a 

 liard blow to have such a loss at this sea- 

 son of the year, when the time for sending 

 out seed catalogues is so close at hand. 



March weather conditions may have 

 been one of the causes for the failure of 

 the Christmas spirit to develop at Chi- 

 cago as early this year as was expected, 

 and the latter fact undoubtedly caused 

 the weakening of the market for bouquet 

 green and holly. At the latter part of 

 last week green was offered as low as 

 $6.50 or even $6, with no active demand, 

 even though these prices certainly gave 

 no profit to the sellers. There is every 

 indication that a freeze will stiffen the 

 market, but this week it still is sagging 

 and offers are made at $5.50. Holly has 

 been offered as low as $3 per case, but 

 on inspection some of the prospective 

 buyers concluded that it would be diffi- 

 cult to get even that much money out of 

 the stock. It takes a buyer of toler- 

 ably keen wits to come off first best in 

 picking up commission holly. 



NEW BBinSH DISCLAIMEB. 



It will be recalled that in a recent 

 British non-warranty case referred to 

 in these columns, the Lord Chancellor 

 in delivering judgment said: "If it is 

 desired by a seller to throw the risk 

 of any honest mistake onto the buyer, 

 then he must use apt language, and I 

 should have thought the clearer he tries 

 to make the language the better. I do 

 not think he has done so in the clause 

 to which I have referred; and there- 

 fore I think judgment ought to be en- 

 tered for the plaintifta. I ' 



In consequence of this verdict, the 

 solicitors of the Nursery and Seed 

 Trade Association, in conjunction with 

 the counsel in the case referred to, 

 have drafted a new clause, which has 

 been adopted by the association and
