§ 2. This act shall take effect im- 

 mediately. 



Commissioner Eaymond A. PearSon. of 

 the State Department of Agriculture, 

 says the purpose of the bill is to guard 

 against fraud and to prevent New York 

 being made a dumping ground for low 

 grade seed. "Canada and many states 

 of this country," said Commissioner 

 Pearson, "have a very clever law by 

 which they prohibit the sale of low 

 grade seed within their territory but 

 allow it to be sold in other states and 

 countries. The result is that New York 

 state for some time has been a dumping 

 ground for all the cheap, sterile seed of 

 Canada and these other states. The bill 

 does not prevent the sale of low grade 

 seed but provides that it must be marked 

 so that a purchaser will know what he is 

 getting. ' ' 



GERMAN SEED NOTES. 



The wholesale seedsmen at Erfurt have 

 by now got pretty well through their an- 

 nual rush. The export orders are prac- 

 tically all dispatched. The brassicas have 

 been in strong demand. Peas also have 

 sold exceptionally well. Parsnips have 

 cleaned up quickly and onions had a good 

 season. For leek, kohlrabi, endive, pars- 

 ley, carrot, beet and spinach there has 

 been about an average demand, while 

 radishes have not moved off as rapidly as 

 was expected. Mangels have been in 

 strong demand. There has been a good 

 demand for asters, and shortages are 

 beginning to be felt. The same may be 

 said of stocks. Pansies, which yielded 

 well last summer, have had about an av- 

 erage sale. As a general rule annuals

have gone off freely. Mignonettes suf- 

 fered greatly and the choicer kinds, par- 

 ticularly the Machet section, are cleared 

 out. Perennials have had a good sale. 

 The greenhouse and stage flowers, petu- 

 nias, calceolarias, cinerarias, etc., were 

 short crops and higher in price, but the 

 demand has been quite up to average. 



At^ Quedlinburg the trade has been 

 doing a good business and many sorts of 

 seedS; of which there was a surplus the 

 last several years, are already cleared 

 out. Peas have not for many years sold 

 as readily as this season, and contracts 

 for crop 1909 had to be refused for want 

 of stock seed. Broad beans met with 

 an unusual demand. Chervil, cress, dill, 

 thyme, tarragon, etc., have been so much 

 demanded that the supplies were far 

 from covering the orders. Beets, cab-
