SPU RIOUS SEED.

hendreds OF bushels OF Canada, New Bruns-
WICK. Surprise. Poland, and numerous other
varieties Of oats were sold last year as our seed.
Parties are again advertising and attempting to
deceive the farmers. One party has already for
warded several Thousand bushels of Canada
oats to the West, where he is selling them as
ourseed. We cautioned farmers last year az inst
these frauds. But, because they could buy at a
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest, they purchased elsewhere; and now,
when they have learned BY the result that they
we're deceived, they are writing to us to punish
the sWlndlers. 70 all such we beg to say that we
have enough to do to attend to our own bust
ness. We renew our caution. and give notice
that hereafter We shall sell our seed under the
name OF theRAMSDELL NORWAY OATS, The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee a
sale OF every bushel 10 the country at our estab-
hshed price; and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from 81 so to $40, aud one evidence
OF seed being spurious is the fact Of its being
ohered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man is likely to go to the trouble
and expense of ADVERT sing and selling this seed
at a less price than he knows he would pay for
H. II genuine. There is not seed enough &c sup
ply the State of California alone. while others
are coming in from every state and Territory
and many parts of Europe. There are upward
OF tJe nations of farmers in the United States
yet TO be supplied with this seed, and the whole
crop this year would not give each pint.
Where one farmer had the faith in our repre-
sensations TO buy last year, thousands are salts
ned and anxi us to get it now. One more word
on TINS subject Of inferior seed. Many seed
dealers bought and sold seed last year which
they may honestly have believed to be genuine,
which was not; and some farmers, we are
sorry to say it, who raised twenty-five bushels,
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
which the great success of this grain the past
season has created will sweep off the entire
stock In short time, and will ctfer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM
PEELED In justics 10 ourselves as well SIS for the
protection of the public, to publ sh the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer is TO
make up his mind row much he wants and if n
