both he and the contracting seedsman 

 knew that because of exceptional weatlier 

 conditioos it would cost him more tbian 

 the contract price to do so, the farmer 

 has received the bare contract price, 

 though knowing that he could readily sell 

 the crop for double the price he received. 

 In growing garden seed on contract, 

 permanently satisfactory dealing will de- 

 pend upon all settlements being ina,de 

 upon an equitable rather than upon a 

 simple legal basis, and a reputation for 

 fair and equitable dealing is most impor- 

 tant to all concerned. 



Gjnclusion. 



This discussion has been limited to a 

 consideration of the common practice in 

 the growing of garden seed, with little 

 direct reference to the possible growth of 

 the industry or the openings it affords 

 for the development of a profitable bixsi- 

 ness. When one compares the prices paid 

 at the corner store for small packages of 

 vegetable seeds with the actual cost of 

 growing the seed, seed growing would 

 seem to be enormously profitable; but 

 such prices are only obtainable for small 

 quantities and in the course of a retail 

 trade, which the farmer is seldom able to 

 command or satisfactorily supply. Vhe 

 trade conditions certainly would not jus- 

 tify an inexperienced farmer in planting 

 vegetables of any kind for a crop of seed 

 with the expectation of being able to sell 

 the seed at prices which would make tlie 

 crop as profitable or as satisfactory as 

 one of grain. It is true he might secure 

 a crop in a season when, because of a 

 general shortage, he could sell it at a 

 price which would make it profitable, but 

 it is more probable that he could not sell 

 it at all, or only at less than it cost. 

 Neither would it generally be wise for a 

 farmer to attempt to establish a connec- 

 tion with some seed house and devpte liis 

 whole farm to seed growing. The wiser 

 course when one has good reason to be- 

 lieve that conditions under his control are 

 such that he ■ can profitably grow seed 

 would be for him to get into communica- 

 tion with some seed merchant or seed 

 grower and secure a contract for the 

 growing of a limited acreage. If lae 

 found that his conditions enabled him to 

 produce certain vegetable seeds of such 

 superior quality that they would command 

 remunerative prices, he might make vege- 

 table-seed growing a very profitable and 

 satisfactory part of his regular farxn 

 operations.
