KING'S VIEW OF U. S. 



E. W. King, head of the well known 

 seed growing firm at Coggeshall, Essex, 

 England, recently made a trip to 

 America, and the following paragraphs 

 are culled from his account of his trip: 



"For the progress of one's business, 

 I have found traveling most essential, 

 and being so intently interested in 

 sweet peas, decided to go to California, 

 and see for myself the methods adopted 

 by the growers there. I was rather sur- 

 prised to hear from the growers that 

 we were the first English wholesale 

 growers to inspect the crops in the 

 growing season. I may mention I had 

 a friend and companion with me, a well 

 known Essex seed grower, which made 

 tbe trip more enjoyable. 



"On arrival at New York, I found 

 telegrams awaiting from W. Atlee Burpee 

 to give him a visit at his Fordhook 

 farm before starting across the conti- 

 nent of America. I spent a pleasant 

 time inspecting his elaborate trials. I 

 say elaborate, for I have never seen 

 such good and extensive trials of cab- 

 bages, onions, sweet peas, pansies, etc., 

 as I did at Fordhook. The cabbage 

 trials alone covered three acres. Visit- 

 ing his establishment at Philadelphia 

 was another pleasure. Machinery of all 

 the lates types was to be seen, but 

 before passing on I was much struck 

 with the thoughtfulness Mr. Burpee has 

 for his employees; in addition to a 

 restaurant, one of the most pleasant 

 rooms in the building was devoted to 

 the comfort of his female assistants; it 

 was fitted up in fine style; after assist- 

 ants had partaken of lunch, there were 

 lounge chairs for them to rest on, books 

 and periodicals to read, and a smoke 

 room for the men. Of all the establish- 

 ments I have visited I have never seen 

 the welfare of the assistants looked 

 after better than I did at W. Atlee 

 Burpee 's. 



"Arrived at Los Angeles I first 

 visited the growers of that district. 

 The soil being light, found they had to
