CATALOGUE BUILDING. . 



This is the time the forehanded seeds- 

 man is getting busy on his catalogue 

 for 1908, which should be ready in good 

 time for mailing to the south by Decem- 

 ber. Haste makes waste- in catalogue 

 making, for no one does his best work 

 regularly at top speed, and everyone is 

 planning to make his next book a little 

 better than its predecessors. 



"Of tremendous importance in the 

 catalogue are the illustrations," said J. 

 H. McFarland in his address to the Seed 

 Trade Association at the New York con- 

 vention. "Properly handled they sell 

 the articles listed. The illustrations of 

 a few years ago proceeded largely from 

 only two sources, both of which are now 

 practically abandoned. Photographs are 

 largely used and will be more largely 

 used as the means for making them are 

 adopted by the seedsmen. An hour 

 might well be spent in discussing the 

 mechanics of photography as applied to 

 seedsmen 's uses and the methods of 

 making illustrations. We do not have 

 that hour at our disposal, and I there- 

 fore pass quickly to the methods of en- 

 graving used, now confined practically 

 to but two. Of these, the line cut re- 

 quires drawing and thus interposes the 

 hand of man. The only reason for using 

 line engravings is to permit printing on 

 cheaper paper, and the tendency is away 

 from them at the present time. 



"The twentieth century catalogue is 

 illustrated by the halftone process. In 

 having the halftones made I would point 

 ont one pitfall, and that is the square- 

 inch rate offered by the cheapest man, 

 who makes you believe you are getting 

 your engravings cheaper while he gets
