Holland to the United States, and lower 

 freight rates, but Dutch salesmen are 

 finding it difficult to get over, our gov- 

 ernment holding back their passports. 

 The number of salesmen at present can- 

 vassing the trade here is not more than 

 one-fifth the number on tour here at this 

 date in the early years following the 

 outbreak of the big war. 



THERKILDSON'S NEW JOB. 



Last week N. W. Ayer & Son, adver- 

 tising agents, Philadelphia, made the 

 following announcement: 



It gives US pleasure to announce that W. F. 

 Therklldson has come to advertisinsf, headquarters 

 as head of the agricultural, horticultural and 

 farm implement division. 



Mr. Therklldson enjoys a wide acquaintance 

 in the seed and nursery trade, having been for 

 years the advertising and sales manager and 

 catalogue compiler for the W. Atlee Burpee 

 Co., the well known seed house. Prior to that, 

 Mr. Thwrkildson was associated in a similar 

 capacity with the Storrs & Harrison Co., the 

 world's largest nurserymen. 



The specialized knowledge and broad, practical 

 experience in his own line of work which Mr. 

 Therklldson brings to this organization, will be 

 reflected in a broader service for Ayer clients. 



Mr. Therklldson is secretary of the 

 Poor Eichard Club of Philadelphia, 

 president of the Ohio Society of Phila- 

 delphia and a member of the publicity 

 committee of the Philadelphia Chamber 

 of Commerce. He it was who, as chair- 

 man of the S. A. F. committee on pub- 

 licity, prepared the plan which inspired 

 that organization to undertake its pres- 

 ent publicity campaign and which, in 

 turn, led to a similar market develop- 

 ment project by the nurserymen.

BERMUDA GRASS IN THE SOUTH. 



Please give me some information 

 about Bermuda grass, stating when to 

 sow it and mentioning any other par- 

 ticulars that might be useful. I am 

 seventy-seven miles south of Memphis. 



J. H. A.— Tenn. 



Bermuda grass, a perennial known 

 botanically as Cynodon dactylon, is 

 often considered a troublesome weed 

 where it is not wanted, but is a favorite 

 pasture and lawn grass in certain hot, 

 arid regions where many other grasses 

 will not grow. 



Peter Henderson & Co., of New York 

 city, speak of it as follows in one of 

 their catalogues: "This perennial grass, 

 of low-creeping habit, is eminently 

 adapted for the southern states, as it 

 withstands drought and the scorching 

 rays of the sun better than any other 

 variety. This grass is noted for the
