Backyard gardens aa a means of 

 lowering living costs and aiding the 

 world's food problems are strongly 

 urged by the W. Atlee Burpee Co., Phila- 

 delphia, in the 1920 catalogue.

 originator of the two new asters, Pure 

 Honor and Meritorious Pink, has been 

 incorporated for $100,000. The new title 

 is J. K. Rugowski Seed Co., Inc., Mani-

 this country.

 store. Mr. Fritz has been connected 

 with Vaughan's Seed Store for the last

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Frank E. Rue, of Peoria, 111., read 

 with interest of the success of Wood & 

 Co., East Cleveland, in the sale of 

 canaries and mentions that his first year 

 shows a total of seventy birds, which 

 for a city of that size is corisiderod en- 

 couraging. In addition, his vfltore sells 

 cages and food, not a large investment 

 to begin with. Get some good birds and 

 it is surprising how they liven up the 

 store. The care of them is easy and 

 fills in a long period of dullness in the 

 seed store. The new catalogue is out
