HARRY A. BUNYARD. 

 Few of our readers will need any 

 -introduction to the portrait which ap- 

 pears herewith. The energetic secre- 

 tary of the American Sweet Pea Soci- 

 ety is known from the Atlantic to the 

 Pacific wherever a horticulturist is 

 -found. We are not bringing him for- 

 ward at this time as a candidate for 

 any office, although he's a good one, 

 or because he has been doing anything 

 sensational of late, but just to call 

 attention to the fact that this week 

 (Dec. 1) he is being congratulated by 

 his friends on the 25th anniversary of 

 his arrival in this country. Harry is 

 (or was) an Englishman, but of course 

 he couldn't help that. He was born in 

 1868, and came to America in 1888. He 

 was employed for a time at Peter 

 Henderson's, then went with Pitcher 

 & Manda at Short Hills, being the first

traveling man sent out by that firm 

 and the last one to quit when they 

 broke up. Shortly afterwards he ac- 

 cepted a position with A. T. Bodding- 

 ton which he has ably and industrious- 

 ly filled up to the present time. 



He organized the American Sweet 

 Pea Society and has acted as its Sec- 

 retary ever since. He is just com- 

 pleting a three-years' term as Director 

 of the S, A. F. In these positions of 

 honor and other duties of like char- 

 acter he is a "live wire," endowed with 

 quick perception and intelligent mas- 

 tery of detail. Of a buoyant disposi- 

 tion and strong social impulses. Harry 

 Bunyard has made lots of warm 

 friends in the years he has been one 

 of us and all will join in wishing him 

 many happy returns of the anniversary 

 he now celebrates and all the pros- 

 perity that can come from well direct- 

 ■ed industry.

Your Fertilizer 



your fertilizer dealer and 

 arrange to buy fertilizer containing at least 



P as Phosphoric Acid ? That is the real kind th,it pay^ you and the 

 dealer. If you did not, you should at once ask your dealer to carry 

 Potash Salts so that you may increase the Potash in the ordinary 

 brands. To increase the Potash I percent, add 40 pounds Muriate 

 or Sulphate of Potash to a ton of goods. A 200-pound hag will 

 increase the Potash of a ton 5 percent. 



Try it once and see how Potash Pays.
