AMPELOPSIS LOWII 



This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from AmpelopslB Veitchii. 



The older leaves in summer are of a dark metallic green, brightening to a fresh apple 

 green toward the extremities, and changing with the season to a warm tint in autumn. 



In size the leaves are rmall beautifally dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped, 

 give a very pleasing effect to the eye, when the plant is growing on a wall or rambling over 

 a pillar, column or an old tree stump. 



This charming novelty clings closely and, growing as it does, rapidly, speedily covers 

 although the individual growths are so ' lacey" in appearance. 



Hard plants for Autumn delivery, in pots $15.00 dos. 



Young plants for Spring delivery 7.50 doz.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



Its Work Affecting Seedsmen. 



The introduction of leguminous crops 

 throughout the different farming sections 

 of the country is considered of the high- 

 est importance by the U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture. The future maintenance 

 of fertility is based on a wise use of 

 such crops. During the year 1907 ex- 

 tensive work was carried on having in 

 view the extension of alfalfa culture into 

 those portions of the country where it is 

 not now a staple crop. In general, coop- 

 erators have shown much enthusiasm in 

 these experiments, and the effect of suc- 

 cessful work of this kind in stimulating 

 neighboring farmers to undertake the 

 culture of the crop is especially gratify- 

 ing. 



"The great interest in alfalfa-grow- 

 ing throughout the country has created

a much larger demand for alfalfa seed 

 than our farmers have been able to sup- 

 ply, " says Secretary "Wilson in his an- 

 nual report, made public November 30. 

 "This has brought about the heavy im- 

 portation of foreign seed, some of which 

 has been shipped even to the Pacific 

 coast. With the enormous areas devoted 

 to alfalfa in this country we should be 

 exporting seed rather than importing it. 

 Investigations have shown that the yield
