Make It Possible for Your Customers to Duplicate 

 the Charms of the Gardens of Lenox 





8ISIT0RS to the famous gardens at Lenox, 

 Glen Cove, Tuxedo Park and like places al- 

 most invariably come away filled with 

 wonderment at their charm, and wistfully 

 wishing that they might duplicate those charms in 

 their own gardens. 



Just as the florists of Lenox, Glen Cove, Tuxedo 

 Park and similar places made possible those charms, 

 by supplying their customers with the choice good 

 things in Sutton's catalogue, just so can you make 



it-i)ossible for your customers to duplicate those 

 charms. 



You will find it profitable business— business 

 that will give you an entering wedge with a number 

 of people you have found it hard to reach before.. 



In Sutton's catalogue you will find certain 

 things that only Sutton has. 



Send 35c for 1917 catalogue, which price will be 

 credited to you when your orders amount to 15 or 

 more.

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Manager Harry Holmes, of the 

 IIolmes-Letherman Seed Co., Canton, 0., 

 tells me that his house has secured laud 

 in Montana for the purpose of seed 

 growing. "Our experience iu Idaho is 

 most satisfactory, ' ' said Mr. Holmes, 

 "and with our home farm of 160 acres 

 it will give us the opportunity we need 

 to grow and try out stoclis before dis- 

 tributing seeds to our patrons. Of a 

 supply of Golden Wax beans purchased 

 from three growers, two lots proved true 

 to type, the third developed runners. 

 It has become necessary to raise as 

 much of our own seed as we possibly 

 can. Wc have engaged J. J. Garland, 

 of the University of Wisconsin, to lake 

 charge of the home farm." A fine lot 

 of Stowell's Evergreen and Golden Ban- 

 tam sweet corn was noted. 



The Van Gorder-Hapgood Seed Co., of 

 Warren, O., is installing a complete set 

 of seed fixtures, to enable the force to 

 better handle the steadily increasing 

 trade. 



The management of the Moody Seed 

 Store, of Youngstown, O., says it beats 

 all how the aliens of its large clientele 

 surpass the natives in producing the 

 best vegetables seen in town. The for- 

 eigners are critical seed buyers. 



The Livingston Seed Co., of Colum 

 bus, O., reports a good call for seed for 

 early sowing. The retail store is ad- 

 vertising seeds and feeds for wild birds, 

 and is making good sales, in addition t'l 

 ireating considerable interest. Manage;" 

 Sherry predicts a banner season and i-- 

 preparing for it. W. M. 



CATALOGUES RECEIVED. 



Northrup, King & Co., Minneapolis, Minn.- 

 Thirty-third annual catalogue of "Sterling" 

 seeds, plants, bulbs, tools, nursery stock an i 

 supplies; a notably comprehensive "book of 16' 

 well illustrated pages, in a tasteful, distinctive 

 cover. At the beginning is an explanation of 

 tlie purposes of the firm's seven brands or trade- 

 marks, which, it is said, "are not merely namo-i 

 and symbols, but represent real standards of 

 quality." On accoinit of the extraordinary mar 

 ket fluctuations, prices are not quoted on som ' 

 items, especially in clover and millet, but en- 

 closed with the catalogue is a "Red Flgnr' 

 Price List," which "supplements and supersedes 

 the prices in the catalogue on all grass and fiel 1 

 seeds and poultry feeds." The cental systei ' 

 generally is used, though some items are priced 

 both by pound and bushel.
