sale, but owing to the practical impos- 

 sibility in many cases of being certain 

 of this, we give no undertaking that 

 such seeds, bulbs or roots will corre- 

 spond with the description under which 

 they are sold, and we make all sales 

 subject to this condition. We further 

 give no warranty, express or implied, 

 as to their growth, description, quality 

 or productiveness, and will not be in 

 any way responsible for the crop. If 

 the purchaser does not accept the goods 

 sold to him, on these terms, they are 

 at once to be returned to us." 



DON'T AUi SPEAK AT ONCE. 



We note an article in The Review 

 on seed shortage, page 69, issue of No- 

 vember 30, 1911. We have been intend- 

 ing for some time to go into the seed 

 growing business, and if you know of 

 anyone wanting seed, especially seed 

 peas, we shall be glad to hear from 

 them. We are now negotiating for the 

 growing of seed on about 200 acres of 

 what we consider suitable land. Thank- 

 ing you for any information you may 

 be able to give us, we^emain, 

 Very truly yours,

GOVERNMENT SEED TESTING. 



In his annual report the Secretary 

 of Agriculture has this to say about the 

 government's work of seed testing: 



"On account of the provision for 

 seed testing made by state laws in 

 North Carolina and Nebraska, coopera- 

 tion with these states has been dis- 

 continued, and two new laboratories are 

 being opened in connection with the 

 agricultural experiment stations in 

 California and Louisiana, the laborato- 

 ries in Missouri, Oregon and Indiana 

 being continued. 



"Hairy-vetch seed, which has this 

 year for the first time been collected for 

 examination for adulterants, was fre- 

 quently found to contain seed of culti- 

 vated varieties of spring vetch, the lat- 

 ter generally being useless for fall sow- 

 ing on account of winter killing. An 

 examination of the hairy-vetch seed- 

 growing section of northern Germany
