Flower seeds are on the free list, but must 

 be examined just the same. The post- 

 master will probably have to forward the 

 package to the custom-house for examina- 

 tion before it can be delivered to you.

THE SEEDSMAN'S ASSISTANT. 



Under date of September 23, Howard 

 M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., 

 sends out a lengthy letter in which he 

 takes exception to certain statements 

 of fact in a book called "The Seed- 

 man's Assistant," by Charles Johnson. 

 Under date of August 6 we received the 

 following letter which we think sum- 

 marizes Mr. Earl's criticism: 



O" Our good friend, .Mr. Charles Johnson. In his 

 book entitled "The Seedsman's Assistant," 

 goes beyond the safety line when he gives 

 synonyms for the benefit of the uninitiated. His 

 compendium of the sources of supply will do 

 no one any special hurt, neither will ^Us list 

 of how much seed should go Into ar packet. 

 His argument in favor of the seed product of 

 one section as compsred with that of another 

 is another pool not too deep for a footing in 

 case of cramp. In my opinion, however, the 

 synonym part of the book would l)etter have 

 been left out. I say this as much for the sake 

 of Mr. Johnson's reputation as for the well- 

 being of any who may be inclined to consider 

 his long erperienoe a sufficient surety for the 

 correctness of his list. JOHN M. CLARK, 



Sec'y Leonard Seed Co. 



A POTATO AUCTION. 



W. W. Johnson & Son, the well- 

 known seedsmen of Boston. England, 

 recently adopted a novel method of 

 distributing a new potato, named Pearl. 

 After selling considerable quantities at 

 the high price of £7 10s per pound, they 

 had sixty-four hills remaining in their 

 trial ground and announced an auction. 

 A good crowd having assembled, one hill 

 was opened, discovering twenty tubers 

 which were bid in for £13 lOs. Then 

 the remaining hills were sold without 

 opening, each being tagged with the 

 purchaser's name as sold. The average 

 price was £9 per root. After all had 

 been bid in, the purchasers were per- 

 aiitted to uncover their seed. 



I LiKS the Review very much and 

 do not wish to be without it. — J. W.

We ABE much pleased with the Florists ' 

 Manual, and could not get along without
