of the house. More as an experiment 

 than anything else, their engraver was 

 given some clippings and told to repro- 

 duce them in wash drawing. The result 

 was so good that their entire book, with 

 only one or two exceptions, was illus- 

 trated in wash. The cuts were true to 

 nature, clear in detail and permitted the 

 use of lighter paper and less expensive 

 presswork than would have been neces- 

 sary with halftones from the best of 

 photographs. In addition there was ab- 

 solute uniformity in the cuts throughout 

 the book, and the illustrations practical- 

 ly are safe from reproduction. 



The process of wash drawing is an 

 old one as applied to magazine and other 

 illustrating, but was new so far as seed 

 catalogues were concerned. It was there- 

 fore natural that the first work should 

 be improved upon, and such has been 

 the fact. Not every artist is able to 

 make a drawing of a cabbage or a water- 

 melon, even from the best of copy, but 

 those who are able to do good work are 

 being kept busy this fall, so popular has 

 the new style of illustration become. It 

 is in line with the very evident demand 

 for better books. The battered electro- 

 type has had its day. 



CX>LORADO SEED CROPS. 



D. V. Burrell, Eocky Pord, Colo., un- 

 der date of October 31 writes as fol- 

 lows: 



"As to how seed crops are turning 

 out in this district, I will say that the 

 larger portion of our growing is for our 

 own trade, only a few hundred acres be- 

 ing grown under contract for the whole- 

 sale trade. Our yields have been very 

 satisfactory, and we expect to make full 

 delivery on nearly all items. 



"Conditions at this time are not fa- 

 vorable to a larger growth of the con- 

 tract seed growing business here. The 

 sugar-beet crop is practically sure. The 

 average yield is about sixteen tons to 

 the acre, and the contract price is $5 

 per ton. With five sugar-beet factories 

 in operation in the valley, and more to 

 be constructed the coming season, it 

 means that farmers will not grow seeds 

 at the present low prices, with an aver- 

 age, net, on beets of $45 per acre clear 

 of all expenses. Present wholesale prices 

 will have to be increased considerably

GENERAL SEED ADVERTISING. 



J. H. Ford haa this to say in a recent 

 number of White's Class Advertising: 



"The successful advertising of seeds 

 for mail orders is a difficult proposition. 

 To know what papers to use and what 

 to keep out of, I believe, can be only 

 learned by experience. Publishers all 

 believe their own publications are good 

 advertising mediums, and they can, as a 

 rule, give some good reasons why they 

 ought to be such. We must, however, 

 take into consideration the location of
