SEED-TIME AH© HARfEST, 
Recent Changes in Seed Firms. 
—The old firm of E. Wyman & Co. of 
Rockford, Ill., was changed to E. Burdick 
& Co. They still make a specialty of grow¬ 
ing choice Flower Seeds. Samples of Aster, 
Phlox, Verbena, Petunia, &c., in separate 
colors, sent us last spring, have run remark¬ 
ably true and fine. 
—J. A. Buell & Co., of Springfield, O., 
are succeeded by the “Springfield Seed Co.,” 
of which Mr. Chas. G. Rowley is manager. 
We are informed that Mr. Rowley has oth¬ 
er important interests which demand his 
time and attention to such an extent that he 
desires to sell the seed department. This is 
evidently a good location, for some smart 
young man to build up a good seed and 
plant business. 
-'Hungerford & Ward well of Adams, 
N* Y., growers of peas, beans and vine seeds 
have dissolved and the business will hereaf¬ 
ter be conducted by Chas. H. Ward well. 
—Wyman Elliott, of Minneapolis, Min¬ 
nesota, has sold out to Shuman & Co., who 
announce their determination to keep the 
business fully up to its present and past 
standard. 
—E. M. Sargent & Co., of Macon, Ga., 
have dissolved and inaugurated a new firm 
which is styled “The Southern Seed Co.,” 
with John R. Ellis as manager. 
—S. L. Fuller & Co, of Des Moines, la., 
have been succeeded by Fuller & Gaston, 
they by Gaston & Quinn, and they, in turn, 
by Quinn & Sturgess. We are sorry to know 
that the new members do not seem inclined 
to pay liabilities contracted by the old firms. 
day’s note with order, obtains goods, allows 
note to protest and never pays. 
Thos. M. Hayes & Co., Cincinnati, O., 
pretend to be seedsmen and commission 
merchants. Order goods from growers, 
sell to best advantage they can and never 
remit. 
Gus. R. Goetter, Ionia, Mich., (removed 
to Muskegon, Mich., present address not 
known.) Soft soaps the dealer by extolling 
the honesty of the German race; can sell a 
large amount of goods but must collect 
before he can remit: gets all the goods he 
can and Jets the dealer balance his books by 
writing “dead beat” across his account. 
Tuisco Greiner, Naples, N. Y., is finan¬ 
cially dead; beat us out of $83.00 before he 
collapsed but says he did not mean to do so, 
and we feel quite certain wont do so again! 
Seth. A. Bushnell, Oberlin, Ohio, in May 
1881, sent a long printed list of business 
men who were ready to vouch for his relia¬ 
bility, got $42.00 worth of goods and has 
ever since refused payment on the ground 
of inability to pay. 
J. J. Fillman, Williamsport, Pa., in June 
1881, paid $5.00 on a bill of $13.70. Silent 
ever since. 
A. D. Eclde, Tremont, Pa., June 1881, 
ordered goods, $30.00. No remittance re¬ 
ceived or hoped for. 
H. C. Harman, South Bend, Ind., Seeds¬ 
man, in 1882 ordered bill of seeds on usual 
4 months time. Amount $35.25. No re¬ 
turns yet.

We do not design condemning any one to 
this column, until they have for at least 
one year refused to pay or give a reasonable 
excuse for not paying an honest debt. Our 
friends are requested to contribute good 
specimens from their books. The object is 
simply protection from a repetition of ras¬ 
cality against unsuspecting and unposted 
parties.
