TIME TO SOW 



It is said that there is a time for everything, but 

 never mind about that, it is surely time to sow seed 

 of SNAPDRAGON for winter blooms. Grow your 

 own stock from seed and have good plants at hand 

 when you need them. Besides securing something 

 good for yourself, there will be a strong market for 

 ^ny surplus plants, as the rainy season throughout 

 our country has spoiled lots of stock. Get busy to- 

 day and select from the following good ones : 



Seed of our famous Silver Pink Snapdragon, $1.00 per pkt.; 

 3 for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Phelps' White, 

 our Yellow, Garnet, Buxton, and Fancy Mixed, at 35c per 

 pkt.; 3 for $1.00. Free cultural directions; all orders cash. 



Remember — we grow Snapdragons, and that it is time to 

 sow seed of them. ,

 bers of the association being repre-

The Importance of Costs. 



Eobert E. Belt, special agent of the 

 Federal Trade Commission, Washington, 

 D. C, read a splendid paper on the im- 

 portance of true costs and of the co- 

 operative work of the commission in 

 improving accounting methods and 

 business practice. 



"Unfortunately," said Mr. Belt, 

 "the value and importance of proper 

 cost accounts are often underestimated. 

 So long as the details of a business can 

 be carried in mind, cost records are not 

 so essential, but when this cannot be 

 done, it becomes absolutely necessary 

 for the safe conduct of business that
