Why not plant your Sweet Peas outdoors this Fall, and get the benefit 

 of the very earliest start In the Spring? Beds properly prepared now with 



well rotted manure, and the seed planted at a depth of 4 Inches, with a light 



covering of hay or any suitable material, will more than pay for the experi- 

 ment. ^^^_^^^^^_________

ordinary course of events would be the 

 last meeting until after the seed sea- 

 son of 1911. "While there was some 

 difference of opinion among those pres- 

 ent, it was not so much over the values 

 of seeds as it was over the prices it is 

 good policy to charge. Some of the 

 leading houses prefer to distribute their 

 stocks among their regular customers 

 at prices that under the circumstances 

 are moderate, rather than to sell to 

 others at what the seeds really are 

 worth under the law of supply and 

 demand. Some of tho advance whole- 

 sale lists have already been issued on 

 that principle, and mailed. 



THE HOLMES FIBE. 



The Associated Press sent out, No- 

 vember 22, a report of the fire at Har- 

 risburg, Pa., which would have led to 

 the belief that the Holmes Seed Co. 

 had suffered a great disaster. Mr. 

 Holmes makes the followLng state- 

 ment : 



"In reply to your inquiry regarding 

 our fire, would state same occurred 

 Tuesday, November 22, inflicting a loss 

 of $15,000 on our store and offices. How- 

 ever, the amount is fully covered by in- 

 surance. Our mailing lists, valuable 

 assets, and all other papers were safely 

 removed. Extremely fortunate was the 

 fact that $20,000 worth of seed had 



been removed some three weeks ago to 

 the new warehouse, outside the burned 

 district. We expect to be ready for 

 business in our old place in about ten 

 days, as our loss was principally by 

 water. ' ' 



THIKTY-FIVE YEABS YOUNO. 



Eeturning to Philadelphia from a 

 western trip, November 28, W. Atlee 

 Burpee put his o. k. on the final pages 

 of his catalogue — the thirty-fifth anni- 

 versary edition. 



To give the printers a chance to 

 catch up, Mr. Burpee spent Thanksgiv- 

 ing day with his younger sons, who are 

 at the military academy at Culver, Ind., 

 and called on friends in Chicago No- 

 vember 26. He had in his pocket an 

 advance copy of his M. G. list, not yet 

 mailed, that was scanned with interest 

 by those who still are wrestling with 

 the problem of fixing prices. Mr. Burpee 

 thinks peas are too high priced this 

 year for market gardeners to plant 

 them; he says that in the forthcoming 

 general catalogue no quantities larger 

 than pecks are quoted, with prices that 

 range from $2.75 to $4 — an advance was 

 made after the pages were in type that 

 is more than justified by later develop- 

 ments. Across the foot of one of the 

 pages of peas Mr. Burpee speaks of the 



Down in the little village 

 of Ollioules, France, near the 

 famous old city of Toulon, 

 lives a man very prominent 

 in France; a man of sterling 

 qualities, culture, refinement, 

 education and wealth. This 

 man is one of the best hearted 

 men who ever lived. Being a 

 student of nature, he is much 

 interested in flowers and in- 

 cidentally is the largest 

 grower and exporterof French 

 bulbs in the world. His name 

 is Martial Bremond, and he 

 is the successor of his father, 

 Mr. Louis Bremond, the 

 founder of the French bulb 

 industry in Ollioules. 



Bremond's bulbs are known 

 all over the world ( and they 

 are marketed everywhere), as 

 the best French bulbs pro- 

 duced — no exceptions. Years 

 of labor have brought about 

 such results. You can't buy 

 better French bulbs because 

 there are none better to buy. 

 In this country they are 

 labeled Horseshoe Brand 

 Bulbs; bulbs of Mr. Bre- 

 mond's production, and they 

 are the most economical to 

 buy because they give better 

 results than any other brand 

 known. 



Try them.
