A BIG ENTERPRISE. 



Dr. E. Bade, a well-known German 

 botanist, has in connection with Frank 

 Weinberg, ot Woodside, N. Y.. discov- 

 ered a new process for securing about 

 40 per cent of rubber out of Euphorbia 

 candelabrum. Extensive experiments 

 by rubber world scientists has been 

 going on in New York and Washing- 

 Ion with the result that a new stock 

 company among rubber concerns has 

 been formed with a capital of $1,000.- 

 000. Several large tracts ot land — 

 about 5,000 acres — have been given to 

 the camp by the United States Gov- 

 ernment in the Yuma district of Ari- 

 zona to start the rubber plantation. 

 Mr. Weinberg will leave shortly for 

 Africa and India to collect several 

 thousand of these plants, and on his 



return will go to Arizona to superin- 

 tenr! the plantation. 



ST. LOUIS NOTES. 



Louis Gieger has taken a position 

 with Grimm & Gorley in the cut-flower 

 department. 



The St. Louis Florists' Club will 

 hold its regular monthly meeting on 

 Thursday afternoon, March 10th. This 

 will be one of the most important 

 meetings of the year. 



A meeting of retail florists was held 

 at the Washington Hotel on Wednesday 

 night, March 2nd, to protest against 

 the sale of flowers at retail by the 

 wholesale florists, one of whom had 

 been accused of doing a big retail 

 business of late, and the retailers are 

 up in arms against the practice. 



"NOT HOW CHEAP— 

 BUT HOW GOOD" 



Horseshoe Brand Products 



In Giganteum indi- 

 cates the acme of 

 quality. Large grow- 

 ers know they produce 

 the largest percentage 

 of cut flowers per 

 thousand bulbs of any 

 brand. The reason 

 why is because they 

 are produced by the 

 choicest seed-bulbs in 

 the world ; are proper- 

 ly planted and culti- 

 vated. The actual 

 profits indicated by 

 your cash register 

 when the final show- 

 down time comes are 

 greater from Horse- 

 shoe Brand Gigan- 

 teum than from any 

 other brand receiving 

 the same treatment in 

 forcing. Don't take 

 our word for it, try 

 them, count the cut.
