 regular monthly meeting in the Council 

 Chamber of the Municipal Building, Slate

 business routine Professor E. H. Jenkins 

 gave a very helpful and instrtictive address 

 upon "Fertilizers in the Orchard." otitlining 

 the way to best use the chemicals and farm- 

 yard itianure upon apjile and peach trees, 

 making special mention of the sowing of 

 cover crops for turning under to enrich 

 the soil. -Also making study of certain 

 chemical manures on certain trees and to 

 follow up results of same as to which was 

 most beneficial for good results on the differ- 

 ent applications to those trees. A good 

 discussion followed among the members. 

 Mr. .Jenkins was given a rising vote of 

 thanks for his able paper. The attendance 

 was small, owing chiefly to another itiiport- 

 ant meeting at Norwich, to which several

A 



VERY large number 

 of our customers 

 grow flowers and 

 vegetables for profit. Such 

 customers cannot afford to 

 run risks wlu-ii purchasing 

 seeds and bulbs, for the value 

 of the crop makes the cost of 

 seed of little importance by 

 comparison. 



We have a small book 

 about ourselves and our rec- 

 ord in the seed business, 

 which extends back more 

 than a hundred years : to the 

 "Days of Washington and 

 Jeft'erson." 



We should like to send you 

 a copy of this and a copy 

 also of our 1915 Catalogue 

 if you ha\'e not yet received 

 yours. 



It will soon be time to talli 

 about bulbs. If you are not 

 on our mailing list send us 

 your name and address that 

 you may receive our Bulb 

 Catalogue when issued. It 

 will be of unusual interest 

 this year.
