larger this seasou, a^ the sale has been 

 slow and dragging. The only excep- 

 tions are' Brenchleyeusis and Colvillei 

 gladioli, which have sold out clean. 



Generally, looking over the bulb 

 fields, it seems that almost everything 

 is behind and consequently we may 

 not expect such ..an early flowering 

 season as last year',_',and if nothing un- 

 usual should hapjJen,' we may expect 

 to have the best flowers about Easter. 



. COY'S ADtttTION. 



The C. Herbert Coy See^ Co., Valley, 

 Neb., is occupying its large three &nd 

 five-story addition to its seed house. 

 The new building is 60x70 feet, making 

 the plant 60x140 feet, one of the larg- 

 est wholesale vine seed and seed corn 

 establishments in the country. The 

 plant is equipped with modern machin- 

 ery and is electrically lighted, with all 

 the latest improvements for protection 

 from fire. The company was incorpo- 

 rated in 1907. Thje president, C. Her- 

 bert Coy, has been engaged in the 

 wholesale seed bupiness in New York 

 state and Nebi^ka for thirty-five 

 years. Laurence Coy is the secretary 

 of the company. . ! 



KEEPING THEM IN LINE. 



There is not the shadow of doubt 

 that all the makers of standard insecti- 

 cides ar©/ imbued with the utmost sin- 

 cerity of purpose — they not only are 

 honest but they know that honesty is 

 the best policy. Still, their stuff falls 

 short of the claims on the labels. Be- 

 yond question the insecticide act is 

 serving a most useful purpose: it not 

 only keeps out the fakers but it keeps 

 the honest men in line; it keeps them 

 keyed up to see that their ediployees 

 actually put in the package what the 

 label says will be found there. That 

 so many good firms slip even with the 

 law hanging over their heads sho^s 

 what the condition would be if there 

 were no law. 



Among those recently prosecuted 

 under the insecticide law was the Port- 

 land Seed Co., Portland, Ore., which the 

 government charged with shipping a 

 quantity of so-called Aphiscide to Van- 

 couver, Wash. It was alleged that the 

 article was misbranded. According to 

 the government report of the case, 

 "the article on examination was found 

 to contain about ninety-nine per cent 

 water, and was not effective against 

 certain plant pests as the label main- 

 tained. Misbranding was alleged be- 

 cause the label falsely claimed the prod- 

 uct would kill all plant pests and that 

 it was the most effective insecticide 

 known, and because it consisted par- 

 tially of inert substances, principally 

 .j(^ater, which do not prevent, destroy, 

 repel or mitigate insects, and the names 

 and percentage amounts of such ingredi- 

 ents were not stated on the label, nor in 

 lieu thereof were the name and per- 

 centage amount of each active ingredi- 

 ent and the total percentage of the 

 inert ingredients stated on the label." 

 A fine of $25 and costs was imposed. 



ADVERTISERS, ATTENTION! 



When advertisers mail copy late, so 

 that it will reach the publisher just at 

 the hour of going to press, a special 

 delivery stamp should be used on the 

 package of cuts. The parcel post be- 

 tween Boston, New York, Philadelphia 

 or Baltimore and Chicago is at least
