 bossed in natural colors on a white 

 background and very effective. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co., New York.—

 As it in anticipation of a bright and 

 prosperous 1916, Messrs. Thorburn & 

 Co. have in this, their 105th Annual 

 Catalogue, departed from the time- 

 honored modest grey cover and illu- 

 mined the title page with a very artis- 

 tic and pleasing design in rich color.

 this oldest of American seed houses. 

 The lists are very extensive, containing 

 many specialties that are already of 

 high repute and novelties that promise 

 gratifying progress for the coming 

 season. 



Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, Pa. — 

 Dreer's Garden Book, 1916. The 78tli 

 annual edition of this splendid publi- 

 cation comes to us in a rich and digni- 

 fied dress of dark blue with gold em- 

 bossed lettering and no other orna- 

 ment or furbelow, and it will not be 

 inappropriate or obtrusive in the li- 

 brary or ladies' boudoir. It fills 292 

 pages with cover and there are four 

 pages of special offers, printed in 

 green. There are five colored inserts 

 of much beauty, especially those of 

 roses and phloxes. The novelty lists in 

 vegetable and flower seeds are as usual 

 very interesting and enticing. Sweet 

 peas, asters, zinnias, snapdragons, del- 

 phiniums, etc., are well represented 

 in the advances of the year. Aquatic 

 plants are given a section by them- 

 selves — ten pages, handsomely illus- 

 trated. 



W. Atlee Rurpee Company, Philadel- 

 phia. — Fortieth Anniversary Supple- 

 ment, 1876-1916. This publication un- 

 der the title of "Forty Years Burpee 

 Service," is in no sense a catalogue, 

 yet it well fills its intent as a supple- 

 ment to amplify the interest and valut- 

 of the catalogues of this enterprising 

 seed house with facts concerning the 

 diversified interests and operations 

 which are a part of the outfit and the 

 work of such an establishment, which, 

 as Mr. Burpee said, is "a business 

 builded not for the present only, but 

 with an outlook to the future. A busi- 

 ness that has no vision of the future 

 or the object of which is mere money- 

 making, would not be worthy a life's 

 work." The book contains 84 pages, 

 profusely illustrated with views in 

 Philadelphia, Fordhook and Lompoc, 

 all of which help to give some idea of 

 the exlent of the industry so zealously 

 nurtured by its late gifted founder and 

 bespeaks both by pen and picture the 



methods of the House of Burpee. Cov- 

 er and layout are the work of W. F. 

 Therkildson, Burpee advertising man- 

 ager.
