also be studied, as the date of planting, 

 etc., is carefully tabulated. 



' ' No one can tell the lessons that are 

 taught, for thirty-five years of experience 

 is back of the garden. Visitors are wel- 

 come, and one must see the plants and 

 learn their history in order to under 

 stand the care employed in the work 

 done. ' ' 



UNCLE SAM'S TRIAL GROUNDS. 



Mention The Review when you wrlta 



quality of seed issued by the company, 

 there being planted a sample of every- 

 thing sold, and the cultivation of new 

 varieties. The rogue and the imperfect 

 plant, growing side by side with the 

 perfect plant, are easily detected, and the 

 new varieties, of which there are several, 

 can be watched and tended with care. 

 The relative time taken to mature can 



"> visit the trial grounds of the Leonard 

 ^eed Co., which are located on the Cook 

 ■state. Over 200 varieties of peas are 

 -11 fruit, and they are a sight well worth 

 feeing; in fact, if they were roses in an 

 ''iual state of cultivation, people would 

 'lock for miles to see them. 



"The object of the trial ground is to 

 '•e able to tell the characteristics and 



A Trip to the Arlington Farm. 



No one in the seed trade has ever de- 

 scribed a visit to the Arlington Trial 

 Grounds of the Department of Agri- 

 culture; consequently it may be profit- 

 able to give a brief account of a visit 1 

 made there during the last part of May, 

 armed with a cordial letter of introduc- 

 tion from Professor Galloway, which se- 

 cured for me all desired attention, very 

 courteous attention, from the station 

 staff, to whom I returned my thanks. 



The farm, variously estimated at from 

 400 to 500 acres, is a long parallelogram 

 located between the Arlington National 

 cemetery and the Potomac river, half a 

 mile distant and immediately at the foot 

 of the hills in front of the Arlington 

 mansion, and within two miles, in a 

 direct line, of the buildings of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture — the whole city 

 of Washington spread out in panoramic 

 view across the silvery waters of the 

 Potomac. 



The way of approach is either by the 

 upper Potomac bridge at Georgetow(fl or 

 over a lower Potomac bridge bvMjoTIfey^ 

 from Twelfth street. A conneCung xrol^ 

 ley over the river, some distance back 

 and running parallel with the shore, joins 

 the Virginia ends of the two bridges.
