We make Cuts by all Processes but our Specialty is 



Wash Drawings 



For Halftones for Seed Catalogues. 



Halftones from photographs, even when the photos are good, lack the detail we get by 

 first reproducing the photo or clipping in Wash. 



We are making cuts for many of the leading seedsmen in all parts of the country. Two 

 of these cuts we show here. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed on all mail orders. 



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

 about. Send us the best ''copy" you have (a photograph or a clipping) explaining just what 

 changes you want. We submit drawings for O. K. before makine the plate. 



We 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. 



Try our cuts on some of your special lists. 



Can make closer prices on work for 1908 books if ordered now. You will have to 

 replace some of your old electros — order now and save money.

growers of seed would confine themselves 

 to soliciting trade from legitimate han- 

 dlers of their product, instead of cutting 

 loose and selling to any one who will 

 buy, regardless of his knowledge of what 

 is what, things would probably be in bet- 

 ter condition. 



The German seeds are now coming 

 forward. 



Imported mistletoe is worth $8 to $10 

 a case in New York. 



There were 800 bags of German sugar 

 beet seeds on the Graf Waldersee, reach- 

 ing New York December 7. 



Berg & Smalley, McPherson, Kan., 

 are buyers and shippers of seed corn, 

 alfalfa, millet, cane, Kaffir corn, barley, 

 etc. 



T, Lee Ad.\ms, 417 Walnut street, 

 Kansas City, Mo., deals in grass seeds 

 and agricultural seeds, turnips being 

 something of a specialty. Add him to 

 your lists. 



The stockholders of the Thompson 

 Seed Co., Albert Lea, Minn., have again 

 changed their minds and appointed D. R. 

 P. Hibbs trustee to close out the busi- 

 ness. 



A SEED laboratory is to be established 

 under charge of W. C. McKillican, at 

 Calgary, Manitoba, for the purpose of 

 testing the purity and vitality of farm 

 seeds. 



The market gardeners in the vicinity 

 of Peoria, III., have formed an organi-

The pickers in the employ of John H. 

 Allan Seed Co., Sturgeon Bay, Wis., fin- 

 ished their work November 28, when the 

 large force of girls was laid off. Tliis

 notwithstanding the output of peas is 

 greater. This is accounted for by the 

 fact that the crop was much cleaner than 

 ever before. 



The prices on the turnip-shaped rad- 

 ishes in the wholesale lists are not what 

 reports of complete failure of the French 

 crops would lead us to expect.

 many seedsmen is Bulletin No. 48, of the 

 Bureau of Statistics, U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture, entitled "The Cost of 

 Producing Farm Crops." It deals only 

 with conditions in Minnesota. 



J. BOLGIANO & Sons, Baltimore, re- 

 cently displayed a sample of their Savoy 

 spinach at their store. It weighed twelve 

 ounces, was one foot seven inches in 

 diameter and three feet seven inches in 

 circumference, grown by one of their 

 customers in Baltimore county. 



The fight on free seeds will be hotter 

 than ever at this session of congress; in 

 fact, almost as hot as the Long Island 

 bonfire in which H. Beaulieu saw 10,000 

 government packets blazing merrily. A 

 number of packets were saved from the
