fox taking care of what we believe will 

 be increasing business. Being so close 

 to our old stand, it will, with adver- 

 tising, be found perfectly satisfac- 

 tory," added Mr. Kendel, who incident- 

 ally mentioned, as secretary of the 

 American Seed Trade Association, that 

 the membership was steadily increas- 

 ing and a banner convention is antici- 

 pated next June. 



Johnson's Seed Store, Cleveland, O., 

 has also changed its location to directly 

 opposite its former home and, with in- 

 creased floor space and an attractive 

 frontage, looks for rapidly increasing 

 business. As a result of a recent adver- 

 tisement in The Eeview for a seedsman, 

 two good men were secured, one locally 

 and one from Bay City. 



Botzum Bros. Co., Cleveland, has 

 made many improvements in the store, 

 necessitated by increasing trade. 



The Theilmann Seed Co., Erie, Pa., 

 looks for big business during the com- 

 ing season, basing its opinion upon the 

 open weather and the easy manner in 

 which produce of all kinds is moving. 

 Demand for poultry supplies is ex- 

 panding. 



Geo. L. Siegel, Erie, Pa., is also op- 

 timistic, especially as regards counter 

 trade. Farmers' patronage is a neg- 

 ligible quantity now, owing to com- 

 munity buying, to which the seedsman 

 is not especially desirous of catering. 



Wood & Co., Cleveland, C, see the 

 end of high prices for canaries, which 

 had become an interesting feature with 

 them. Manager Botherham added that 

 the bulb season has been the best for 

 many years. 



The Walter E. Cook Co., Cleveland, 

 is already rushed with early orders, 

 according to Manager Fisher. Mr. 

 Cook, in addition to being president of 

 the Cleveland Florists' Club, is a mem- 

 ber of the city council and has an eye 

 to further improvement in the park 

 system. 



O. W. Clark & Son, Buffalo, N. Y., 

 report excellent sales on bulbs, the 

 quality being first-class and the weather 

 continuing favorable for outdoor 

 planting. 



"Already farmers are talking of 

 sowing liberally this spring," says 

 Manager Egerton, of the Harvey Seed 

 Co., Buffalo, N. Y., "with clover selling 

 at $15 per bushel against $37.50 at the 

 same time last year." 



The Queen City Seed & Nursery Co., 

 Buffalo, N. Y., reports a good outlook 

 in both seed and nursery departments, 

 for which the open winter is responsi- 

 ble, according to Manager Sullivan. 



Hart & Vick, Rochester, N. Y., at- 

 tribute much of their success to trade 

 journal publicity. "Wo are keeping 

 close tab on the returns," observed 

 Charles Vick, "and will give credit 

 where it is due." 



Charles F. Saul, Syracuse, N. Y., de- 

 sirous of helping relieve the congestion 

 in the clothing market, allowed the use 

 of his spacious store for a few days' 

 special sale, following which the stocks 

 of seeds on the way will be taken care 

 of. Mr. Saul is enjoying a brief so- 

 journ in Florida, 



H. H. Ebeling, Syracuse, N. Y., is 

 preparing for what, in the opinion of 

 Manager Day, will be the best season 

 in many moons. 



The Daniel Batchelor Seed Co., Utica, 

 N. Y., is already feeling the effect of an 

 open winter in the demand for field 

 seeds. 



"A real clean-up," observed Man- 



Burpee's 

 5^®®^ peas 



There is always a ready demand for good Sweet Peas. Well grown flowers 

 realize most remunerative prices, and it is doubtful if any other crop will bring 

 the florist greater profits, considering the outlay for stock, and the ease with 

 which the crop is handled. 



To ensure flowers of highest quality and at a time before the market is glutted 

 with ordinary stock, the seed should be sown during January or February in 

 pots. Start them in a cool house or even a cold frame, and so have first-class 

 sturdy plants for setting out in the open field early in April. This method will 

 give you flowers in late May, and much superior to those sown directly in 

 the open. 



When ordering ask for our leaflet on Sweet Pea culture. 



The House of Burpee is recognized the world over as American headquarters 

 for Sweet Peas. Burpee's Sweet Peas are grown and developed on Floradale 

 Farms, our California seed ranch, and our strains are unsurpassed for high-class 

 quality and "trueness" to type and color. 



Good Sweet Pea seed is scarce this season, due to short crops, and as our stocks 

 of some varieties are limited, we suggest early ordering. 



The following list includes only such varieties as we know to be of value for 

 market work. For fuller descriptions and classified list of all varieties, including 

 many novelties now offered for the first time, write for Burpee's Annual, which 

 is sent free on application.
