CATALOGUE RECEIVED. 

 Burpee's Annual for 1919 comes to 

 us this year with its former arrange- 

 ments completely changed. The size 

 of the book has also been reduced in 

 the number of pages in anticipation 

 that the Pulp and Paper Division of 

 the War Industries Board would or- 

 der the same. The vegetable classes 

 have been devided into four sections, 

 namely, Edible Seeds, Root Crops, 

 Greens and Salads, and Vegetable 

 Fruits, and the divisions so made will 

 furnish a new chapter in horticultural 

 studies as well as give gardeners and 

 experts something quite new (in cat- 

 alog arrangement at least) for dis- 

 cussion. There has been no effort 

 made to hold the arrangement of this 

 catalog down to a strict botanical clas- 

 sification, nor will the various vege- 

 tables be found alphabetically in their 

 respective chapters, they having been 

 inserted as their prominence in use 

 would warrant. The Index to Con- 



tents on page 152, however, makes 

 every subject listed readily found. The 

 pink pages which have hitherto been 

 devoted to novelties are now given 

 over to cataloging the several collec- 

 tions of vegetable and flower seeds 

 that this house has always specialized 

 in. The catalog has its usual attrac- 

 tive cover page in colors and in ad- 

 dition contains 24 pages of colored il- 

 lustrations, 16 of which are devoted to 

 vegetable specialties and 8 to floral. 



Cincinnati — Miss Laura Murphy, as 

 secretary and treasurer of the Christ- 

 mas Fund Committee of the florists, 

 received the first acknowledgments 

 from overseas last week.
