The Visit to Fordhook. 



Nearly 250 persons were in the party 

 that visited Fordhook June 24 as the 

 guests of W. Atlee Burpee & Co. Most 

 oif those who had been at the Atlantic 

 City convention went over, but there 

 were in addition a number of seedsmen 

 from New York and other places and a 

 considerable sprinkling of other guests, 

 including many representatives of the 

 agricultural press. The party went to 

 Fordhook by special train from Phila- 

 delphia, provided by Burpee & Co. Any- 

 one who knows the Burpee method of 

 doing things knows the brand of hos- 

 pitality that marked the day. On ar- 

 rival at Fordhook the first thing was a 

 reception on the lawn, where, among 

 those who assisted Mr. and Mrs. Bur- 

 pee, were Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Scott. 



In the trial grounds a large part of 

 the Burpee staff were at hand to explain 

 the details. The grounds occupy some 

 fourteen acres and this year contain 

 some 6,000 trials, of which over 400 are 

 sweet peas. It was stated that if placed 

 end to end the sweet peas would make 

 a row over three miles in length. Harry 

 A. Bunyard, secretary of the Sweet Pea 

 Society, was one of those who found 

 this part of the grounds specially in- 

 teresting, but aside from the trials, 

 probably the most extensive in Amer- 

 ica, there was much else of interest to 

 see, includipg the kennels, and thfi aft- 

 ernoon -vfws far too short. Tbe Udiee 

 were taken about the farm in wagons. 



With appeTites sharpened by the- tour, 

 Inncheon, informal but bountiful, was 

 served on the lawn, after which a return 

 to the trial grounds was made to see

As the hour of departure for the spe- 

 cial train drew near, the guests gathered 

 at the farmhouse, where in a neat 

 speech J. C. Eobinson expressed to Mr. 

 and Mrs. Burpee the unanimous appre- 

 ciation of the hospitalities of a most 

 pleasant day. Mr. Burpee's reply was 

 an invitation to come again. 



VALLEY PIPS. 



Writing from Wandsbek, Germany, 

 in mid-June, E. Neubert had this to 

 say of the prospects for the crop of 

 lily of the valley pips in the Ham- 

 burg district: 



"Last season's crop of valley pips 

 was much below the average with re- 

 gard to the quantity of pips. In some 

 districts the crop was so very short 

 that only one-third of the expected 

 quantity of forcing pips could be har-, 

 vested. This was a serious blow, not 

 only to growers and dealers in this
