Due Care-- 



CEvery accident and practically every suit for damages is the result of someone's lack of DUE 

 CARE. You may buy flowers of the best quality and you may receive them on time« but 

 if DUE CARE is not exercised in packing them, they wUl be WORTHLESS when you 

 get them.

 ence being more in the man than in 

 the plants. In support of his conten- 

 tion that quality can be had with own 

 root plants he points to his record at 

 the 1915 show, where his own root 

 roses took prizes on entries in com- 

 petition with flowers from growers who 

 use grafts almost exclusively. 



The demand for Russell has been so 

 great that it has been impossible to 

 fill it even with grafts, with the result 

 that there are few own root plants any- 

 where in this section. But Mr, Eeichling 

 has rooted many Bussell and his houses 

 of own root stock certainly are better 

 than the houses he planted with grafts; 

 the bottom breaks on the own root 

 plants are wonderfully strong. Inci-

 The Weather in June. 

 June was an unusually favorable

 and subnormal sun being a great help 

 in retaining quality in the cut flowers.

 sixty-seven, the normal for June being 

 seventy-one.
