mailing seeds; this amount will be 

 doubled in March. A sweet pea corner 

 is devoted to the special, advertised of- 

 fers, such as appear in the popular pub- 

 lications. 



Mr. Burpee pointed out a change 

 made to meet a recent postal ruling; 

 the seeds to go by mail are in trans- 

 parent seed bags, while those to go by 

 express or freight are still put up in 

 the stronger bags that are opaque. A 

 seed-measuring machine, electrically pro- 

 pelled, first put in use by this house, is 

 a great labor-saver for fine seed. The 

 coarser seeds, especially sweet peas, are 

 measured by hand. Mr. Burpee at- 

 taches importance to his system of 

 marking each packet with the date. 

 For instance, "Sweet Peas for 1911" 

 on a packet gives confidence to the pur- 

 chaser to do his or her best, sure that 

 the seed is not aged. Great care is 

 taken that all seed be true to name, 

 even after it is received in the ware- 

 house. After the tests put upon it by 

 the grower, it is spread out on tables, 

 where sharp eyes and nimble fingers 

 find and discard the rogues. 



The basket system of keeping orders 

 together, the checking, packing, tying 

 and weighing are all done with a thor- 

 oughness comparable only to the har- 

 mony existing between the different 

 parts of a perfect machine. The 

 typewriters — I know not whether they 

 were Eemingtons or "Underwoods — were 

 buzzing away merrily in a room by 

 themselves, with perfect light from tall 

 windows and none to disturb their 

 happy voices. 



The financial department is in charge 

 of A. E. Brown. Here all orders and 

 all money are received. The average 

 of a dozen or more orders was about $3,
