MR. BRUGGERHOFS RETROSPECT. 



[The reminiscences of h\ \V. Bruggerhof. as 

 presented before the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 , elation at its convention at New York.] 



I cannot let pass an opportunity like 

 .the present, when I am called upon to 

 relate the reminiscences of sixty years 

 in the seed trade, to first call your at- 

 tention to part of an extraordinary ad- 

 .vertisement which was copied from the 

 .New York Commercial Advertiser by the 

 Boston Courier in 1845. It shows clearly 

 that the reminiscences of that advertiser, 

 Grant Thorburn, are much more curious 

 and interesting than mine, since they date 

 back to 1799, at a time when he was 

 practically the only seller of seeds in 

 this city. His advertisement goes on 

 to say that he started with three pots of 

 geraniums, a monthly rose and $15 worth 

 ,o,f seeds, and he makes the further state- 

 ment that the seeds grew until they filled 

 the whole continent; the rose blossomed 



• until it spread into a tree and the little 



• birds formed their nests under its 

 tranches. 



It. was then, before my time, that a 

 host of pretenders came boasting into 

 this country, and among them was Wil- 

 liam Cobbett, who arrived with an idea 

 that all republics were humbugs, and so 

 offensive did he become ts good Ameri- 

 cans that he was obliged to flee to Eng- 

 land, whence he returned as a radical 

 democrat, to open a seed store at 62
