Here's Nursery Stock That Every Florist Can Use NOW 



Tour customers are ready to buy a lot of things from you besides cut 

 flowers, pot-plants and bullis— for instance, you cin sell a lot of Harrison's 

 California Privet this Spring without going to much bother — and make money 

 on every bit of it, too. 



We have the soil and the facilities for growing California Privet right. 

 We grow plants- by the milliou — they are sturdy and stocky, branched close 

 and thick right down to the ground, and with great heavy masses of roots 

 that will take tight hold and get down to business almost anywhere your cus- 

 tomers plant them — making a beautiful, dense hedge from the first season. 



Harrison's Strawberry Plants are another thing you can sell a lot of this 

 Spring — we have over lOO varieties, and are ready to dig millions of healthy 

 young plants that will bear heavily next year. 



Then we have scores of other shrubs and vines, trees and plants, many of 

 which you could hawdle to splendid advantage — make mone.v and please your 

 trade. We'd like to "talk it over with you by letter." Drop us a line'and we'll 

 send full particulars, with our brand-new eye catching 1911 Catalogue, by first 

 mail.

NEWS NOTES. 



Beaumont, Calif. — A nursery is 

 being started here by George De Huff. 



Hagerstown, Md. — Ed'ward Hoover 

 will go into business here, having 

 built a greenhouse. He i-s the son of 

 C. C. Hoover, gardener. 



Middletown, N. Y. — Edward A. 

 Lorentz whose greenhouse addition 

 ■was reported in last week's issue, 

 writes that a dwelling house south of 

 his greenhouses shaded them too 

 much so he recently purchased the 

 house and is moving it to a vacant lot 

 also recently purchased across the 

 street. This will give him more room 

 for flowers out of doors and will en- 

 able him to lengthen his greenhouses 

 later on if necessary. He intends to 

 build an S x 30 lean-to propagating 

 house this summer.

DAHLIAS Every Day in the Year 



^In buying lily bulbs do you 

 invest or do you speculate? 

 The safest plan of course is to 

 invest, and that means to pay 

 the price and get the very best 

 the market affords. The spec- 

 ulation plan is to buy the 

 cheapest you can and take a 

 chance. Now if it was only a 

 mere speculation in bulbs the 

 risk would not be so great, but 

 the real danger in handling 

 bad bulbs is the loss of valu- 

 able space in the greenhouse, 

 and the profit on the sale of 

 cut flowers. Of course an in- 

 vestment is not always abso- 

 lutely safe, but in the long run 

 it is much safer than a specu- 

 lation and every experienced 

 grower of lilies knows that the 

 best bulbs are absolutely neces- 

 sary for successful results and 

 profitable returns. If you knew 

 what we know about Horse- 

 shoe Brand Giganteum of su- 

 perior quality and assortment, 

 no one could induce you to 

 buy other brands. There are 

 positively no better lily bulbs 

 produced in the world and they 

 are as safe an investment as 

 you can possibly make in lily 

 bulbs. 



tj Prices reasonable for quality
