been tending more and more toward the educa-
tion and enlightenment of farmers on points of
especial value and although there are few
catalogues still issued in which exaggeration

and the seed catalogue Is fast becoming factor
with which planters would find it hard 10 dis
pense. Foremost among the educational class OF
catalogues is that issued yearly by the WE'LL
known seed firm of w. Atlee Burpee & Co., of
Philadelphia, and the copy of their 1894 Annual
Just received shows a decided ad vance ON even
their previous efforts. Accurate descriptions
and illustrations is the rule followed OIL every
one of the l72 pages, and much benefit Is
sure to accrue to every one who reads il.
noteworthy feature of the catalogue is list
OF the valuable books on important agricultural
subjects issued by w. Alice Burpce & Co. Each
of these books has been prepared by practical
specialist. and contains the essence of the latest
information on agricultural subjects. The plan
upon which they all issued places them
within the reach of all. The broad dissent
nation of such knowledge this is sure 10

pee & Co. deserve the highest praise for their
efforts. They offer to send their Annual Tree
