SPURIOUS SEED.

Hendricks of bushels of Canada, New Bruins
wick, Surprise. Poland, and numerous other
varieties OF oats were sold last year 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
our seed. We cautioned farmers last year against
thesa frauds. But because they could bug at
lower price, and the representations appeared
honest. they purchased elsewhere; and now.
when they have learned by the result that they
were deceived, they are writing 10 us to punish
the swindlers. To all such we beg to say that we
have enough to do TO attend to our own bust
ness. W. renew our caution, and give notice
that hereafter we shall sell oar SEED under the
name theRAMSDELL N0RWAY0ATS. The
demand for this seed is sufficient to guarantee a
sale of every bushel in the country at our estab-
hshed prlce; and farmers who bought seed from
US are asking from 81 50 to $40. Ard one evidence
Of seed being spurious is the fact of its being
offered at less than the regularly established
prices. No man is likely to go to the trouble
and expense of advertis sing and selling this seed
at a less price than he knows he would pay for
1t, If 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 JiUe millions 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 anxious to get 1t now. One more word
on this 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 1t, who raised twenty-five bushels,
sold more than twice that quantity. The demand
when the great success of this grain the past
season has created will sweep off the entire
stock in short time, and will offer unusual
advantage for bogus operators; and we are COM
PEELED, in justic 10 ourselves as we'll as for the
protection of the public, to publish the above
facts. The only safe way for the farmer is to
make up his mind bow much he wants, and if a
neighbor whom he knows aud can trust has
the seed of his own raising. buy of him;
II not, send at once to US. Our best and heavS
lest seed, Northern grOgH, under the personal
supervision Of Mr. Ramsdaie. Will be offered first

We claimed that they were better in quality.
