Haltinioru County, Maryland 

 March 2nd, 1915. 



I hereby inform my many frientJs, the 

 Market Gardeners, Canners and the public 

 in general, I have placed my entire supply 

 of "John Baer" Tomato 

 Seed which I personally 

 grew and selected, with J. 

 Bolgiano iV Son of Balti- 

 more, Maryland. Any seed 

 offered by any other source 

 is not my production and I 

 cannot feel morally respon- 

 sible for the results it may 

 produce. 



I have given this tomato 

 my greatest care and at- 

 tention for many years and 

 take pride in seeing that 

 my fellow Market Garden- 

 ers are j^etting only seed 

 that truly represents the 

 results of my lifework.

ALBANY FLORIST CLUB. 



The Albany Florist Club met Thurs- 

 day evening, March 4th, at the Albany 

 Cut Flower Exchange. There was an 

 attendance of about 75 members. The 

 feature of the evening was the flower 

 show. Pennock-Meehan Co. displayed 

 some very fine carnations, white lilacs, 

 Spencer sweet peas and orchids. F. R. 

 Pierson Co. exhibited some of the new- 

 rose, Francis Scott Key. The Albany 

 Cut Flower Exchange exhibited for a. 

 S. Burns, Jr., of Spring Valley, some 

 very fine Rubrum lilies. A. N. Pier- 

 son showed some fine Matchless carna- 

 tions and lilies. .1. Traudt, of Cana- 



joharie, showed some very fine azaleas, 

 primroses, etc., as did also H. Hansen,

 Klllamey, Sunburst and Hadley roses. 

 F. A. Danker exhibited some very fine 

 plants; Henkes Bros., Watervliet, 

 plants and carnations; R. Velle, carnii- 

 tions. 



There was a long talk in regard to 

 the November Flower Show. The com- 

 ralttee is hard at work but wish for 

 more time before making a final report. 



After the meeting adjourned, refresh- 

 ments were served and all the mem- 

 bers reported a very fine time and 

 think it a good it'ea for the growers 

 to exhibit specimen plants and cut 

 flowers at each meeting. 



The next meeting will be the first 

 Thursday in April, at the Albany Cut 

 Flower Exchange.
