for these conditions doubtless rests 

 fully as much with the mass of con- 

 sumers who demand low priced seed as 

 with the dealers who cater to this de- 

 mand. The trade has employed various 

 means to meet the demand for low 

 priced seed. Large importations are 

 made of the same kinds of seed which 

 are produced in and are exported from 

 this country. The imported seed can 

 be sold cheaper than that which is ex- 

 ported. Grades of seed which are prac- 

 tically unsalable in Europe find a ready 

 market here because the better Amer- 

 ican grown seed is commonly consid- 

 ered too high priced. Various forms 

 of seed adulteration have long been 

 practiced, and seed ill adapted to our 

 climatic conditions has often been sold. 

 The results have been frequent failure 

 of crops, an excessive cost of the act- 

 ually good seed, and a wider distribu- 

 tion of many kinds of foreign weeds 

 than by any other means. A general 

 understanding of these conditions as 

 they relate to particular kinds of seeds 

 is helpful in making tests."

ULIES FOB MUMOBIAI. DAY. 



I should like to know when to bring 

 Lilium giganteum into heat to have 

 them in bloom for Memorial day. 



J. E. S. 



Giganteum lilies should be placed in a 

 brisk heat at once for Easter, as the 

 buds should show early in March. For 

 Memorial day the plants should at pres- 

 ent be in a tr-mperature of 45 to 50 de- 

 grees, and if the shoots push through 

 the pots by the middle of March they 

 will be on time, if given a night tem- 

 perature of t)0 to 65 degrees. You want 

 to see the buds separated thirty-five 

 days before Memorial day. Gigantenms 

 like warm treatment right along, when 

 once they are well started. C. W. 



He was so stingy that he 

 used the mole on the back of 

 his neck to save a collar- 

 button. His soul -cry was 

 price, price, price! He held 

 the cent so close to his eye > 

 that he couldn't see the dol- 

 lar behind it. So he bought 

 the cheapest lily bulbs in the 

 market. Now he has the 

 most constipated-looking lot 

 of lilies you ever saw in your ^ 

 life. He blames the bulbs, 

 of course, and he is right, 

 but he has forgotten what he 

 paid. 



He can cuss now until he 

 gets ankylosis of the jaw- 

 bone and it won't help mat- 

 ters a bit. He got just what 

 he paid for, and he's it. 



It is better to buy Horse- 

 shoe Brand Giganteum than 

 to wish you had. They are 

 the best marketed that we 

 know of and have averaged 

 the best returns of any brand 

 in the world.
