A STRAIGHT TIP.- Wherever you buy your 

 seed this year, get it in time to make a germin- 

 ation test before you sow the main crop.

The better varletlee in single and pompon 

 Chrysanthemums will bring you more money 

 than the standards. I have them. A fine line 

 of Mensa ready in a few days. Also the best 

 in standards. Write for list and prices, and 

 your inquiries for anything you may need will 

 be appreciated. 



P. S.— I send out quality— that's why Cycla- 

 men seedlings are all sold.

The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing 

 in a nice cut of gardenias. They still 

 are cutting quantities of Ulrich Brun- 

 ner roses, but report really fine roses 

 of t^ie newer varieties rather scarce. 

 This company is disposing of all its Kil- 

 larneys, both white and pink, and is 

 planting more Kussell, Hadley, Hoosier 

 Beauty and Ophelia roses. It is putting 

 up two new houses. 



M. H. Ebel came down from Sacra- 

 mento, Cal., a few days ago. He re- 

 ported business good in that city. Eas- 

 ter business, he said, was the best he 

 ever had, and he anticipated some ex- 

 tra business during the Causeway cele- 

 bration. 



Sacramento florists are working on 

 plans for a fall flower show, the date of 

 which will be set soon. Growers are be- 

 ing impressed with the fact that they 

 should go in with a view to increasing 

 the demand for flowers, whether cash 

 prizes are offered or not. S. H. G.

The Market. 



An unusually late season has been 

 further retarded by a series of cold 

 rains, with several frosts — a condition 

 that prevailed nearly all of last week. 

 Serious damage was done to fruits, bed- 

 ding stock and early garden truck. The 

 florists' rule that May 1 is the proper 

 date to put out porch decorations and 

 beds did not prove a safe one this year. 

 The weather held back the cut of carna- 

 tions so that the shortage for Mothers' 

 day was unusually acute. The cut of 

 roses continued fairly heavy and the 

 blooms were of prime quality. 



Business for the week was good, tak- 

 ing all the stock offered. Outdoor flow- 

 ers were more plentiful. Nurserymen 

 who have had time to glance back at 

 the results of the season's business ex- 

 press themselves as well satisfied. Col- 

 lections, perhaps, are coming in better 

 than last year. This is the last season 

 that long-time extensions of credit will 

 be generally permitted, as the new rules 

 of the national association will be put 

 into effect. 



Various Notes. 



Niklas & Son displayed some good 

 potted schizanthus last week. 



J. G. Kelly, of- the Kelly Homestead 

 Nursery, has been serving on the jury 

 panel of the Circuit court for several 

 weeks. His nursery is at Kelly's Butte 

 and he has opened a sales ofiice at 

 Fourth and Main streets, the former lo- 

 cation of the Epperson Nursery Co. 



Mrs. Rahn, the wife of Albert Rahn, 

 of the Rahn & Herbert Co., has been 

 seriously ill and for a short time was at 

 one of the hospitals. 



J. A. Wilson, of the Wilson, Crout & 

 Gehr Co., was hurriedly called to the 

 telephone a few days ago by Fred 

 Brotje, the driver of his delivery car, 

 who had taken a load of stock to town. 

 Fred reported that he had met with an 

 accident and could not get back as soon 

 as he expected. Mr. Wilson anxiously 

 inquired: "Where are you now? What 

 has happened?" "I am at the minis- 

 ter's and have just got married," was 

 the reply. It was the most surprising 

 ' * accident ' ' Mr. Wilson ever heard of. 

 Fred is a nephew of Julius Brotje and 

 has the good wishes of his many friends.
