the deming cat.\log. 

 The 1903 catalog of the Deming Company, of Sale, 

 Ohio is just off the press. As usual, our readers will 

 look to it to exemplify in practical form the latest 

 ideas in spraying orchards, vines, potatoes, shrubbery, 

 etc. The Deming people have been so long engaged 

 in the busine.'s of making sprayers, and their whole 

 line has been brought up to such high efficiency in the 

 estimation of spraying people, that it has become 

 second nature to look to their catalog to show what is 

 best adapted to any particular purpose. It includes 

 hand, bucket, knapsack, barrel, mounted, and po^ver 

 sprayers. In certain sprayers of their line, notably 

 the Century, Simplex, Peerless, and Success Knapsack 

 sprayers, the mechanical agitation of the liquid, in- 

 suring perfect mixing of poison with the water, is 

 ^worked out to a nicety. The wide adaptability and 

 'getieral usefulness of the line can not be realized with- 

 out perusing the catalog. As usual, it will be mailed 

 to any one writing for it, provided you mention this 

 paper. 



"BURPEE'S seeds GRO^V.'' 



This famous motto of an equally famous seed-house 

 is true in a double sense; for not only do Burpee's 

 seeds grow when planted, but they grow constantly 

 and very rapidly, year by year, in the favor and confi- 

 dence of all who cultivate vegetables and flowers. So 

 intimately ig the name ot this hou.se associated with 

 all that is best in seeds, that the advent of Burpee's 

 Farm Annual is awaited each year as an event of real 

 importance in planting-circles Of this publication — 

 well known and universally spoken of as "The Lead- 

 ing Amer can Seed Catalog'" — the 1903 is.sue is espe- 

 cially noteworthy. It is an elegant book of 184 pages, 

 with beautiful colored plates; a veritable storehouse 

 of valuable information regarding choice flower and 

 vegetable seeds, and mailed free to planters every- 

 where. It is much to be recognized as the largest 

 mailorder seed-house in the world, but it is yet more 

 to mail all over the world " The Best Seeds That 

 Grow." Both of these di'-tinctions can bs truthfully 

 claimed by Burpee, Philadelphia.
