A SEEDSMAN’S DUTY 
a 
You are probably familiar with Edgar A. Guest's poem entitled 
“A Package of Seed.” It begins: ‘‘I paid a dime for a package of 
seeds and the clerk tossed them out with a flip,” and concludes: 
“In this bright little package, now isn’t it odd? You’ve a dime’s worth 
of something known only to God.” How true this is, because in most 
cases there is no way you can tell the variety, trueness to type, pro¬ 
ductiveness or hardiness by examining the seed. You may readily pass 
on the sample, and germination tests can easily be made for viability, 
but you must depend upon the seedsman for all of the other impor¬ 
tant considerations.
