There will be a decided shortage of Azaleas, Rhododendrons and other Xmas 

 and Easter plants, and it is very doubtful if any Spiraeas will be received. Forc- 

 ing Bulbs also are exceedingly scarce. 



HYDRANGEAS will, therefore, be in great demand for Easter and will prove 

 good and profitable sellers.

HENRY F. MICHELL CO., 518 Market St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



through the handling of reliable goods. 

 Listening to his story, while seated by 

 the old-style coal stove, the store lighted 

 with oil lamps, one realizes how well our 

 old friend has marked his course, closely 

 associated with the name of Burpee, 

 whose seeds he has always sold. 



The new store of the Lutton-De Foot 

 Seed Co. is a model of the latest thought 

 in efficiency, well tested during the last 

 season, when one day's record on the 

 cash register was 1,650 sales made by 

 six clerks. The system of arrangement 

 features a full line of the leading gar- 

 den seeds in duplicate on both sides of 

 the store, offering a clear passage for 

 customers passing in or out. Equipped 

 with a complete set of Walker bins and 

 finished in mahogany, the ground floor 

 is solely for counter trade. The office 

 is on the second floor. The upper three 

 floors are stocked with the necessary 

 lines for a retail seed business. W. H. 

 Lutton was with H. G. Hastings & Co. 

 for fifteen years, and lias a capable Tun- 

 ing mate in G. De Foor. W. M. 



BULB DEALERS' TROUBLES. 



If the dealers in Dutch bulbs had an- 

 ticipated anything like the troubles 

 they are encountering this year, there 

 are not many of them who would have 

 persisted in their efforts to do business. 

 The entire season has been fraught with 

 difficulties. In the first place, there was 

 the uncertainty as to whether or not 

 stock would come. Next, the question 

 of price made trouble, for the costs 

 have advanced in a manner generally 

 most unexpected. With the arrival of 

 the Waaldyk, September 25, it was 

 figured that the troubles were nearing 

 an end, but it has proved that they then 

 only were beginning. There are dealers 

 in the middle west who at the end of 

 October have not been able to get pos- 

 sessioa of the stock that reached New
