INSPECTION OF GROWING 

 CROPS. 



It is very necessary to keep 

 in touch with the seed- 

 growing specialists to 

 insure proper "roguing" 

 during the growing season. Mr. W. F. Dreer, having spent 

 a season with the largest German Seed House in their prin- 

 cipal seed growing district, and another with the largest 

 French Seed House in Paris, is peculiarly fitted to make these 

 tours of inspection, while journeys to distant lands are often 

 made by him, as in the case of a trip to Japan, through 

 which important business connections are made and novelties secured. 

 Annual voyages are also made to Europe by one of the managers in quest of 

 novelties and to keep in touch with the latest methods in growing. Nearby 

 crops are inspected regularly by the managers of the seed and plant 

 departments. 



From a single sheet in 1838 with an edition of a few 

 CATALOGUES, hundred, our Catalogues have kept pace with the 



growth of business through the successive years, until 

 this season our Garden Calendar ot 168 pages (issued with this Souvenir); 

 Mid-Summer List (issued in June); Bulb Catalogue, issued in September, 

 and various smaller lists sent to florists, will reach a total of nearly 250,000, 

 requiring 50,000 pounds of paper, and entailing an outlay of nearly four 

 thousand dollars for postage.
