 the stock at a price which will yield 

 the common stockholders not less than 

 fifty per cent of the amount of their 

 stock, plus any accrued dividend at the 

 rate of five per cent per year. It may 

 be thought desirable in the interests 

 of those who arc now creditors and 

 who will be stockholders to change the 

 plan hereafter if conditions change. 



The control of tlie corporation under 

 tlie voting trust agreement will be in 

 five voting trustees. They will have 

 the power to control the new corpora- 

 tion by election of a lioard of directors. 

 It is at present projjosed that the cor- 

 poration shall be managed by five direc-

MOTT-LY GLEAUINGS. 



"Every facility for making a record 

 southern business," observed Adoljih 

 Corneli, of the Schisler Corneli Seed 

 Co., St. Louis, Mo., "but tlie rebound 

 is not so satisfactory. Too much jiros- 

 perity lias created extraviigaiice, which 

 will affect the seedsman, while we look 

 for a speed.v general neovcry in the 

 south, our big field." 



August Iluiiiiiiert, of the St. Louis 

 Seed Co., predicts big business both in 

 flower and garden seeds. A lieavy mail 

 on the opening day showed prompt re- 

 sponse to the change of the advertise- 

 ment in The Review. Secretary S. J. 

 Paufler was out on the farm on Stindav 

 and reports seeing an active snake of 

 good size. He says it is a liarl)inger of 

 sjiring. 



"Imagine you have a stDreliousc well 

 filled and uninsured, a tire breaks out in 

 the other end of the block, the wind 

 blowing the flames toward your end, 

 and as you stand helplessly by and

Burpee's 

 Sweet peas 



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

 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 coldframe, 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 knaw 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.
