trated. With this catalogue he is send- 

 ing out a 16-page order sheet with a full 

 list of flower and vegetable seeds con- 

 tained in this catalogue printed there- 

 on, which will greatly facilitate order- 

 ing and filling orders. 



The general retail seed catalogue of 

 the Barteldes Seed Co., Lawrence, Kas., 

 arrived December 11. It quotes South- 

 port White Globe at $3.50; Red Globe, 

 $2.50; Yellow Globe, $2.50; Yellow Dan- 

 vers, $2.25, and most other sorts $2. 



The first general retail seed cata- 

 logue for 1908 to come to hand, that of 

 A. T. Boddington, New York, quotes 

 onion as follows: Southport White 

 Globe, $3.50 lb.; Yellow Globe Danvers, 

 $2.50; Red Wethersfield, $2; Southport 

 Red Globe, $2.50. 



A NEW cantaloupe region in the vicin- 

 ity of Phoenix, Ariz., is rapidly being 

 developed and it is said the acreage will 

 be largely increased in 1908. Hereto- 

 fore two shipping associations have han- 

 dled the output, but next season there 

 will be three and perhaps more. 



M. Crawford has returned to Cuya- 

 hoga Falls, O., after a summer spent in 

 experimental work at Shioeton, Wis. His 

 work is said not to have wholly confirmed 

 the high opinion of its property for mar- 

 ket garden purposes held by the Shioeton 

 Gardens Lands Co., and Mr. Crawford 

 has shipped back to Ohio his stock of 

 gladiolus bulbs. 



Beans, notwithstanding the unfavor- 

 able reports some time ago, will be plen- 

 tiful enough for all legitimate demand, 

 in the opinion of most of the growers. 

 Deliveries are now coming in from the 

 fanners and they are panning out bet- 

 ter than was anticipated. The milling 

 and hand picking may change the sit- 

 uation some, but it is not thought that 

 any variety will be scarce enough to 

 cause trouble. 



CBUTOHFIELD & WOOLPOLK, of Pitts- 



burg, are large handlers of cantaloupes 

 in the various markets and act as distrib- 

 uting agents for several associations of 

 growers. For several reasons they have 

 this season become large buyers of Rocky

New Close-Clinging Hardy Climber 



ANPELOPSIS LOWII 



This beautiful novelty was obtained from seed raised from Ampelopsis Veltchii. 



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 (mall, beautifully dentate, and the edges, being prettily crimped,, 

 give a very pleasing elTect 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 d-^z. 



Young plants for Spring deli«rery 7.50 doz.
