Seed Trade 



A Seedsman Inventor. 



By means of a device patented by 

 Mr. John Bolgiano of J. Bolgiano & 

 Suns, and which can be attached to 

 any furnace, the inventor claims that 

 not only will the smoke be destroyed 

 but a large percentage of the fuel will 

 be saved. 



Mr. Bolgiano said that with the aid 

 of his device one pound of coal will 

 evaporate 11 5-7 pounds of water, 

 while an ordinary furnace will only 

 evaporate 8 5-7 pounds of water with 

 the same amount of coal. With this 

 patent he says a furnace will require 

 less attention and about one-tenth 

 of the time will have to be given to it 

 in raking and shaking the fires. 



Another "Pure Seed" Bill Introduced. 



Curtis Nye Smith, legal representa- 

 tive for the American Seed Trade As- 

 sociation, calls the attention of our 

 readers to the fact that Congressman 

 Mann, on December 5th, filed another 

 bill H. R. 144S3, entitled "To regulate 

 Foreign Commerce by prohibiting the 

 admission into the United States of 

 certain adulterated seeds and seeds 

 unfit for seeding purposes," copies of 

 which may be secured from the Clerk 

 of the House of Representatives, U. S., 

 Washington, D. C.

A. T. Boddington, New York City — 

 Boddington's Garden Guide, Spring, 

 1912. We always look with interest 

 for the arrival of this annual visitor

 some unique and artistic conception 

 by Mr. Bunyard. In the present in- 

 stance sweet peas in lavender, gold 

 and green are the subject of design 

 and, treated in semi-conventional man- 

 ner, they form a pretty picture. The 

 contents of the book are strictly up-to- 

 date, as might be expected from this 

 well-known and enterprising house. We 

 note among the hardy plant novelties 

 offered several of the new Wilson col- 

 lections, including the splendid Clema- 

 tis montana rubens. Many of the il- 

 lustrations in this catalogue are very 

 beautiful.
