We Make Cuts by All Processes but OUR SPECIALTY is 



Wash Drawings 



For Illustrating Seed Catalogues 



With capable artiste (ours are the best in the United States 

 on flower and vegetable drawings) this form of illustration 

 gives a better result than can be had by any other process. 

 We have made large numbers of such illustrations for 1907 

 seed catalogues. Two of them we show here. 



Let us make you a sample of our work, illustrating some 

 subject you are PARTICULAR about. Send us the best 

 "copy" you have (a photo or a clipping) explaining just what 

 changes you want. We submit drawings 

 for 0. K. before making the plate. 



We guarantee satisfaction and predict 

 if you use one or two of our halftones from 

 wash drawings in your 1907 book, they will 

 print up so much clearer than the other 

 cuts that nothing else will answer for 1908.

The shipments of German seeds are

Jere Kimmel, of Bobinson, Kan., has 

 shipped four cars of clover seed this 

 season. 



The Templin-Crockett Co., Cleveland,

 germination. 



The pea crop at Alpena, Mich., is 

 estimated at 5,000 bushels. The John 

 H. Allan Seed Co. shipped seven cars 

 from this station in one week. 



The final round-up of Connecticut 

 seed crops would indicate nothing in 

 surplus, with the possible exception of a 

 little turnip. Sweet corn has cured per- 

 fectly and will be fine stock and sample, 

 but the quantity, on account of a much 



reduced acreage, is very much less than 

 for the past two or three years. Onion 

 has developed shorter than the lowest 

 estimates and is altogether a very dis- 

 appointing crop. 



Arthur B. Clark, of the Everett B. 

 Clark Co., Milford, Conn., is looking over

FERRY'S CHARLVOIX PLANT. 



The Charlevoix Courier of November 

 7 contains a two-column write-up of the 

 local plant of D. M. Ferry & Co., De- 

 troit, from which the following is taken: 



"The D. M. Ferry & Co. seed plant 

 in Charlevoix is one of the most im- 

 portant industries in the city, employing 

 seven men and forty-eight girls, and 

 occupying a three-story building the di- 

 mensions of which are 36x173. The man- 

 agement of the concern has been in the
