CATALOGUES RECEIVED. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York 

 City, "Thorburn's Seeds," 1914. The 

 first of the 1914 seed catalogues to be 

 received at this office — good evidence 

 that this oldest of seed houses in 

 America is still "up and doing." This 

 is their 113th successive annual cata- 

 logue and, like its predecessors, it is 

 complete, comprehensive and well ar- 

 ranged. The cover of soft grey tone 

 bears the Inscription in gold embossed 

 letters without pictorial adornment 

 and is refined and pleasing in effect. 

 There is a good list of vegetables and 

 flower seed novelties for the coming 

 season. 



Sutton & Sons, Reading, England. — 

 Sutton's Amateur Guide in Horti- 

 culture for 1914. We have taken occa- 

 sion in former years to comment en- 

 thusiastically on this superb produc- 

 tion, expressing the wish that such 

 perfection of photography, engraving 

 and typography might yet be attained 

 in this country. The book before us 

 outvies even the former issues from 

 this house and will be perused with de- 

 light and admiration by all those who 

 are fortunate enough to receive a 

 copy. The volume is bound in blue 

 with inscriptions in embossed silver 

 and besides a wealth of beautiful half 

 tones contains a number of full-page 

 portraits in natural colors of asters, 

 cyclamen, wallflowers, peas, etc. 



THE "KNOCKER." 



The knocker is a coward. Some- 

 times he has ability; sometimes you'll 

 find him a worker, but one thing 

 you'll always find him to be — a cow- 

 ard. At one of our clerk meetings 

 I said: "Gentlemen, there's to be no 

 knocking in this concern except right 

 at these meetings face to face with 

 the subject of your grievance." Boys, 

 act above the knockers. Face your 

 man in a manly way and spit it out. 

 It will give you self-respect and it will 

 instill respect from others. God help 

 the miserable knocker — the man who 

 smiles with his lips while they're 

 smeared with poison. Making trouble 

 is tonic for him. Learn to detest the 

 fearful habit. Act the man to your 

 fellow-worker. — Southern Merchant.
