and unless a more equitable adjust- 

 ment of prices is reached, tlie seed 

 grower may liave to rent his land and 

 plant his own crops. This of course 

 is really impracticable, and the only 

 alternative is to pay the farmer more, 

 which in time will compel the grower 

 to ask more for his products. Higher 

 prices seem to be inevitable. 



Cincinnati has been selected as the 

 place for the next Canners' conven- 

 tion, and Hotel Sinton will be the 

 headquarters. The machinery exhibit 

 will be in Music Hall. Further infor- 

 mation will be given from time to 

 time. The convention will be at the 

 usual date, February 3-8. 



CATALOGUES RECEIVED. 

 A. T. Boddington, New York. Seeds 

 and Bulbs for 190S. This catalogue is 

 well filled with the standard offers in 

 flower and vegetable seeds, hardy and 

 tender plants, etc., profusely illus- 

 trated, which we now look for in the 

 catalogue of any representative house. 

 The cover is, however, so far out of 

 the usual in merit that we want to 

 call attention to it specifically. It is 

 one more of the productions of H. A. 

 Bunyard to which we have had occa- 

 sion to refer heretofore. It is in pink, 

 white, green and gold, the central 

 feature being a bloom of Cosmos Lady 

 Lenox conventionally treated. Mr. 

 Boddington is sending out, with the 

 catalogue, a 16-page order sheet, com- 

 prising a complete list of the flower 

 and vegetable seeds. We do not re- 

 member ever having seen anything in 

 this line so comprehensive.
