PRIMULA MALACOIDES 



"The Glorified Baby Primrose" 



Offered for the first time in America. This variety will continue 

 sending up a succession of blooming spikes (color, beautiful lilac), 

 giving the appearance of a shower of blooms. 



The individual flowers are much larger than P. Forbesi and infinitely 

 more freely branched. It is highly recommended either for cut flowers 

 or for plants, which sell readily on sight. Per trade pkt, $1.00; % 

 pkt., 60c. 



Our Fall Bulb Catalogue of Quality Bulb*, etc., now ready. 

 A post card will fetch one by return mall.

 port that he will go into the retail 

 business is a mistake.

Charles Millang. the New York

 turn from a short vacation with his 

 family in the White Mountains, that 

 his home in Bayside, N. Y.. had been 

 burglarized during his absence.

Benjamin Hammond, the esteemed 

 secretary of the American Rose So- 

 ciety, has declined the nomination for 

 Member of the Assembly from the first 

 district of Dutchess County. X. Y., Tor 

 business reasons. It is to be regretted 

 that a gentleman of such geniality, 

 ability and unswerving honesty should 

 find it impossible to give to his district 

 his services as its representative in 

 the halls of legislation. In their de- 

 sire to select him for this post his 

 fellow-townsmen showed most excel- 

 lent judgment.

^TT Some men can never get out 

 3] of their own way — they are 

 pulling their own weight and don't 

 know it. Cheap-price Buggaboo 

 has a mortgage on their intellect 

 at the rate of about 50% per an- 

 num. And these are the very fel- 

 lows who kick the most — they 

 couldn't kick more if they had 

 their bed spread on a donkey- 

 engine. They buy cheap stuff for 

 little money and immediately for- 

 get what they pay but never for- 

 get how bad the stock is after it 

 is forced. They have ingrown 

 ideas of their own and you can't 

 tell them anything nor reason with 

 them. They are almost as bad as 

 the professional canceller of or- 

 ders — the worst and meanest 

 kicker on the face of the globe. 

 Just the kind that would insist 

 upon a one-armed man to take 

 up a church collection — they 

 don't even trust themselves. They 

 are so used to dealing with the 

 Wooden-Shoe Hikers from Hol- 

 land that they think there is no 

 honor left in the world. So, when 

 you buy bulbs for little money, 

 expect little value and you will 

 not be much disappointed ; but 

 if you pay a fair price and insist 

 upon a good article, you will be 

 better off. Then, remember that 

 the profit in your business is not 

 regulated by the amount of pot- 

 wolloping you do but by the kind 

 of pot-wolloping you can get 

 others to do for j-ou plus your 

 ability to market the goods. For 

 real good bulbs, particularly lily 

 bulbs, write us.
