REGULATION OF NURSERY TRADE. 
A bill before the New York Legisla¬ 
ture is endorsed by the fruit growers and 
horticultural societies. It is designed to 
regulate the sale of nursery trees—the 
vital points being given below: 
263. Sale of fruit-bearing trees. Every 
person, firm or corporation who shall 
sell any fruit-bearing trees shipped from 
any point in the .State of New York, 
must have attached to each car, box. 
bale or package, a copy of a certificate 
of inspection issued by the State Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture, signed by the Com¬ 
missioner of Agriculture, and valid to 
the first day of September next following 
the date of the issuance thereof. There 
shall be attached to each bundle or pack¬ 
age of such fruit-bearing trees a label 
specifying the name or variety of the 
trees contained therein. In case such 
bundle or package shall contain trees of 
different kinds or varieties, there must 
be attached to each tree therein a like 
label. 
264. Nothing contained in section two 
hundred and sixty-three, or in any other 
section of this act, shall be construed 
to deprive a purchaser of any fruit-bear¬ 
ing trees of his remedy at law in a civil 
action to recover damages sustained by 
reasou of such trees proving untrue to 
name as specified on the label. Such 
damages may be recovered in a civil 
action by the purchaser of such fruit¬ 
bearing trees, or by his personal repre¬ 
sentative or assignee, at any time prior 
to the third bearing year, the purchaser 
to notify the seller as soon as discovery 
is made that such trees are not true to 
name. In any action to recover damages 
suffered by the purchaser by reason of 
any fruit tree or trees not being of the 
name and variety for which they were 
tagged and sold, the seller shall have the 
burden of proof in establishing that any 
contract, or any provision of contract, 
exempting the seller from liability, or 
limiting his liability, was fully under¬ 
stood and agreed to by the purchaser. 
In every case of a sale of fruit-hearing 
trees, in lots of twenty-five or more, the 
seller must leave with the purchaser a 
copy of the contract, upon the face of 
which shall be plainly printed the fore¬ 
going clause of section two hundred and 
sixty-four, beginning with the words: 
“In any action to recover damages” and 
ending with the words: “and agreed to 
by the purchaser.” The seller must also 
accompany the shipment of said trees by 
an itemized list of the same; such list 
shall also give the name of the county 
and State where the trees covered by it 
were grown, the age of the trees, and the 
name and address of the person for whom 
the trees were grown, if requested by the 
purchaser at the time of purchase. 
Within five days after the receipt by 
the purchaser of the trees purchased and 
the list thereof the purchaser shall com¬ 
pare and notify the seller of any dis¬ 
crepancy between the list and the label 
on said trees. 
265. Any person, firm or corporation 
acting as agent for another in the sale of 
fruit-bearing trees in this State shall 
carry with him, at all times when en¬ 
gaged in selling trees, a certificate in 
writing, signed by Iris principal and 
properly acknowledged, showing his au¬ 
thority to act as such agent, and upon 
request shall exhibit the same to and 
leave a copy of the contract, bearing on 
its face the clause above referred to in 
section two hundred and sixty-four with 
the purchaser. 
§2. This act shall take effect Septem¬ 
ber first, nineteen hnudred and fourteen. 
AN ACT TO REGULATE THE PACKING, 
GRADING AND SELLING OF 
APPLES AND PEAKS. 
The Legislative Committee of the New 
York State Fruit Growers’ Association 
respectfully recommends that a law be 
enacted to take effect September first, 
nineteen hundred and fourteen which 
shall provide as follows: 
“All apples and pears grown in the 
State of New York, packed, sold or 
offered for sale in barrels shall contain 
DO per cent, of the fruit equal in all re¬ 
spects to the face of the barrel.” 
That “Every barrel of apples and 
pears grown or packed in the State of 
New York shall have marked plainly on 
the outside face head of the barrel the 
name and address of the packer and 
such name and address shall not be re¬ 
moved or obliterated, except when such 
barrel of apples or pears is repacked, in 
which case the name and address of the 
repacker shall be substituted for that of 
the original packer.” 
The said Legislative Committee also 
respectfully requests that the grades pro¬ 
vided for in the Wilson hill he changed 
to three grades as follows: “From two 
inches to two and one-half inches,” 
“from two and one-half inches to three 
inches,” and “from three inches up.” 
“Farm products cost more than they 
used to.” “Yes,” replied Mr. Corutossei. 
“When a farmer is supposed to know 
the botanical name of what he’s raisin' 
an’ the zoological name of the insect 
that eats it and the chemical name of 
what will kill the insect, somebody’s got 
to pay.”—Washington Star. 
“For the Land’s Sake, use Bowker’s 
Fertilizers; they enrich the earth and 
those who till it.”— Adv. 
DOYOUNEEDPAINT? 
LET ME SEND YOU MY PAINT BOOK. It will tell you all you want 
to know about paint and painting. The best paint is the cheapest paint. 
I make the best paint. INGERSOLL’S PAINT has been made for 72 year*. 
It is made with scientific accuracy from the BEST MATERIALS, thor¬ 
oughly combined by machinery—you cannot make GOOD PAINT with a 
stick by hand-mixing. Other paints are sold by dealers or supply houses. 
This method requires salary and expenses of traveling salesmen and profits 
for jobbers and retailers. These extra expenses and numerous profits YOU 
MUST PAY when you buy their paint. 
I Can Save You One-Half Your 
Paint Bills 
One-half the price you pay the retailer represents the factory cost of 
the paint. The other half is required for middlemen's profits and expenses. 
Our paint is shipped fresh from the factory direct to you. You pay simply 
the factory price. You pay no salesman; no hotel bills; and no middlemen 
of any kind. The dealer or supply house may offer you a paint at our price; 
but THEY CANNOT GIVE YOU OUR QUALITY OF PAINT AT OUR 
PRICE. They must add the cost of their expensive method of selling and 
middlemen's profits; IF they give you the Ingersoll QUALITY of paint the 
cost will be DOUBLE OUR PRICE. 
Don’t Use Cheap Paint 
offered by dealers and supply houses. They may save you a little on first 
cost, but no more labor is required to paint your buildings with INGER¬ 
SOLL PAINT than with inferior store paint. Poor paint always makes a 
building look shabby in six months or a year, and is sure to make you 
regret the little saving in tho first cost of the material. INGERSOLL 
PAINTS will give you long years of satisfactory service and LOOK WELL 
ALL THE TIME. 
Ingersoll Mixed Paints 
have held the official endorsement of the 
Grange for 40 years 
We can refer you to pleased customers in your own neighborhood. 
We make it easy for you to buy paint direct from the mill. Tho book 
will tell you the quantity needed. The order will reach us over night, and 
the paint will be on the way to you in twenty-four hours. Let me send
