The government has begun the 1912 

 free seeds distribution. 



The Thorburn catalogue for 1912 is 

 the one hundred tenth annual edition. 



Wm. M. Keid, formerly with Currie 

 Bros. Co., Milwaukee, is on the road for 

 W. W. Barnard Co., Chicago. 



Visited Chicago: Ealph M. Ward, of 

 Ealph M. Ward & Co., and C. W. Scott, 

 of Yokohama Nursery Co., New York. 



G. Tegelaar, traveler for C. J. Speel- 

 man & Sons, Sassenheim, Holland, is to 

 wed Miss Carrie Pearce, daughter of Sam 

 Pearce, his largest customer at Chicago. 



Petty Bros. Seed Co., Liberty, Mo., 

 which formerly specialized on corn, has 

 this season extended its operations to in- 

 clude a full line of field, vegetable and 

 flower seeds. 



The country is full of Dutch bulb 

 salesmen. They are going over the list 

 of buyers with a fine-toothed comb and 

 assert the orders booked are fully up to 

 the best previous records. 



W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia, 

 have issued a new edition of "Sweet 

 Peas Up-to-date, ' ' by Geo. W. Kerr, with 

 which is included a 20-page supplement 

 containing a list of varieties introduced 

 since the last edition, in 1910, and cul- 

 tural details and selection of varieties 

 for winter flowering under glass. 



PEAS IN MONTANA. 



A local paper at Bozeman, Mont., 

 had this to say in its issue of Janu- 

 ary 9: 



"The fourth of the eastern seed 

 firms to enter the Gallatin valley for 

 the purpose of cultivating garden peas 

 for the seed, was introduced this morn- 

 ing through its representative, B. E. 

 Brotherton, president of the Peninsu- 

 lar Seed Co., of Port Huron, Mich. 

 Mr. Brotherton is a brother of the Mr. 

 Brotherton of thfr Jerome B. Rioe Seed 

 Co., of Cambridge, N. Y., which will 

 cultivate seed peas in the valley this 

 summer, and whose representative, 

 L. L. Brotherton, is a nephew of the 

 representative of the Port Huron firm, 

 who arrived last night in Bozeman. 



"The Jerome B. Kice Co., Cambridge, 

 N. Y.; N. B. Keeney & Son, of Leroy, 

 N. Y.; the Clark Seed Co., of Milford, 

 Conn., and finally the Peninsular Seed 

 Co., of Port Huron, Mich., will all cul- 

 tivate the peas in the valley this sum- 

 mer. As this year marks practically the 

 start of this industry in the Gallatin 

 valley, the propitious beginning seems 

 to promise big things for the future. 



"Mr. Brotherton stated that his 

 company expects to place about 100 

 bushels of seed this year, intending to 

 make a much larger seeding in the 

 following year if the returns this year 

 are good. This will require a tract of 

 300 or 400 acres. The representatives of 

 some of the companies now in the field 

 state that if returns are satisfactory 

 they expect their companies intend to 

 purchase at least a part of the land in 

 the Gallatin in which their products 

 are BOwn. ■ -
