It is possible that a seedsman may 

 be misjudged by the appearance of his 

 book, but that he is so judged most of 

 them recognize. The idea was put into 

 words by Bessie M. Ruppert, a well- 

 known florist and dahlia Specialist, in 

 a letter she wrote recently to the Mc- 

 Farland people: "I rather judge most 

 others by myself in catalogue matters," 

 she said. "When I receive a poorly 

 printed catalogue upon poor, trashy pa- 

 per, I never give it a second thought — 

 seldom more than glance through it. 

 But, on the other hand, if it is well 

 printed and on good paper, I always 

 lay it aside for the time when I can 

 give it my attention — I always go 

 through it from cover to cover, reading 

 what happens to be of interest to me. 

 The man who sends it is the man who 

 gets my order if I need anything in his 

 line." 



THE FBEE SEEDS. 



J. C. Eobinson, who has just com- 

 pleted a year's work as president of 

 the American Seed Trade Association, 

 despairs of ever stopping the free seed 

 evil through the efforts of the seeds- 

 men themselves, but hopes public senti- 

 ment will accomplish what those who 

 have an interest in the issue cannot. In 

 his address at Atlantic City, President 

 Robinson had this to say of free seeds: 



"The free seed evil shows no signs of 

 abatement; in fact, it shows an ever 

 increasing output. Just why the seed 

 trade should be selected to meet gov- 

 ernment competition of free seeds is 

 hard to tell. The Agricultural Depart- 

 ment was organized to benefit the peo- 

 ple. Without doubt the original pur- 

 poBe of the seed distribution, to dis-

It lis much larger 

 and of good substance ; 

 the immense flowers, 

 of 3)4 to 4 inches, are 

 of perfect form, and 

 every tint and shade 

 is produced in striking 

 combinations and end- 

 less variations of beau- 

 tiful colors and mark- 

 ings. It is the result 

 of years of selections. 

 The Stock Planta are se-

 of brown, bronze, red, mahog-
