IT'S TIME 



"To Make a Noise Like an Order," 

 IF YOU DESIRE OUR ADJUSTABLE PLANT STANDS 



for the coming Fall and Winter Horticultural Displays, as we are rapidly sell- 

 ing up our production until that time, and late comers will be disappointed. 

 Prize winners this season for display and banking of plants will be 

 those equipped with The Moore-Livingston Adjustable Plant Stand*. 



With three sizes of stands all heights can be obtained from 6 to 48 inches. 

 If your seedsman or supply house cannot furnish them, write, phone, wire or cable us 

 and we are "Johnnies on the spot'* for a prompt reply as to where they can be obtained.

named Mitchella repens. It grows all 

 over the United States, east of the Mis- 

 sissippi, particularly in ihe pine woods, 

 from Canada to Mexico, being most 

 plentiful in the New England states. 

 It is a low-grounding vine with glossy 

 green leaves, bearing berries about 

 the size o» peas, of a bright holly red 

 color. Those can be. gathered from the 

 first of October on, packed in damp 

 moss, and stored in cool cellars or in 

 storage, where they will keep perfectly 

 until wanted. The vine's are pickpd 

 with stems about 4 to 6 inches long, 

 each with a berry, and tied in bunches 

 of 50 sprays. 



The trade 

 price for them 

 is from $2.50 to 

 $:?.00 per thou- 

 sand sprays. In 

 tilling the 

 globes a ball of 

 sphagnum cov- 

 ered with green 

 sheet moss is 

 bound together 

 with thread 

 (Silkaline i s 

 best) , then 

 moistened well 

 and filled with the berry sprays. Three 

 of these about two to three inches long 

 are stemmed together with hair-wire, 

 and made as pointed at the stem end 

 as possible. Some workers place the 

 sprays separately into the moss, using 

 a pair of tweezers to handle them. 

 Care should be taken not to make the 

 ball of moss too large, as it cannot be

placed readily into the globe when fin- 

 ished, and also presents a too crowded 

 appearance should the berries press 

 against the glass. When covered from 

 the air so as to retain the moisture, 

 and stood in a light place, but not in 

 the sun, these globes will retain their 

 beauty in the house for several months, 

 and have given the greatest satisfac- 

 tion. 



A new globe made specially for the 

 purpose is introduced this season and 

 has several points of met it over the 

 old style fish globe, which has been 

 used only because it seemed to be the 

 only thing available. The new design 

 presents a perfect globe, which is of 

 much more elegant appearance. It 

 consists of two parts, the globe or 

 cover and the stand or base in which 

 it rests, both of which parts are of the 

 clearest crystal. The stand is so con- 

 structed, that there is room for the 

 roots of a fern, and in the larger size 

 for a small earthen pan, which will 

 hold several ferns, so that in its dual 

 capacity as a miniature fernery and 

 berry globe, it can be used at all sea- 

 sons. When filled with ferns and 

 berry vines combined, it. is also, very 

 pretty. 



Ventilation is arranged for in the 

 base, which is perforated so as to 

 i'dmit the necessary amount of air re- 

 quired. The accompanying illustra- 

 tions giv» a good idea of the construc- 

 tion of the globe and its appearance 

 when filled. ROBERT KIET.
