BODDINGTON'S GIGANTIC PANSIES 



Can be produced only from the slant strain*. Our CHALLCNQK PANSY seed contains only the slant ••lf<color*, the slant strlpad and 



varlasatad and the slant blotchad, etc., all carefully mixed in proportion. You could not buy better seed if you paid $100 par onnca. Our 

 Challenge Pansy seed during the pist season gave unprecedented satisfaction, and every order booked last year was duplicated and increased this 

 year. All the testimonials received mentioned specially the high grade of flowers— color, form and size of the individual blossoms. This year, by 

 adding improved types, intending customers can absolutely rely on a duplication of this season's success with increased satisfaction. Our "mark ' 

 for this strain is "Chaliansa," and it is all the word denotes.

Mention The Review when you write. 



^'•trate of soda 



is a powerful and 



quick acting nitrogenous fertilizer. It 

 should be applied at the rate of not 

 over 150 or 200 pounds per acre, and 

 then only to well established crops. As 

 a stimulant to crops in need of a tonic, 

 it is excellent, giving results in a short 

 time. For tomatoes I have not found 

 it a good fertilizer. Dried blood and 

 fine bone have proved more beneficial, 

 and good cow manure has proved supe- 

 rior to all. 



Tomatoes should not be grown on the 

 same land year after year, or they will 

 deteriorate in quality. Nitrate of soda 

 should never be applied in the fall and 

 extreme caution must be used in sprink- 

 ling it on the ground. Use care not to 



get it too near the plants, and remember 

 that an overdose will do much harm 

 rather than good. Be sure all lumps 

 are broken up finely before spreading 

 it on the land. "While it promotes a 

 rapid growth, its continued use soon 

 exhausts the land. C. W. 



Adelphla, N. J.— George Hall, who 

 handles seeds, plants and bulbs in con- 

 nection with a general merchandise busi- 

 ness, says the outlook is excellent. The 

 potato crop is the great specialty in 

 this section, and potatoes never looked 

 better. The early crop was marketed 

 at the highest prices within Mr, Hall's 

 recollection.
