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 

 any 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 *2.5G; 7 for $5.00. 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.

house the prisoners. Pretty soft, 

 what?" 



MINNEAPOLIS. 



Various Notes. 



The armory grounds are resplendent 

 with hardy herbaceous flowers. The ex- 

 tensive collection dissipates the old 

 idea that we have few perennials that 

 will survive the winter. The lowest 

 temperature last winter was 35 degrees 

 below zero. 



Easter lilies have been scarce this 

 season and are in great demand. First- 

 class stock easily brings $10 per hun- 

 dred. Peonies are plentiful and can be 

 bought for $1.50 per hundred. Boston 

 ferns are scarce and in muchidemand. 

 Growers who have benches to plant are 

 unable to purchase 2%-inch stock. One 

 grower on the lookout for 5,000 ferns 

 could not procure 500. 



Attorney Johnson, the administrator 

 of the Minneapolis Floral Co., left his 

 post July 1, his work completed. The 

 unusually heavy rains and little sun- 

 shine have combined to badly brown 

 Boston ferns in vases and window 

 boxes. 



Miss H. B. Whitted had a busy week 

 of funeral work. She had a striking 

 decoration at the Fifth street store, 

 comprising many varieties of del- 

 phiniums. Many of the spikes were 

 more than five feet tall. 



O. C. Swanson had a fine display of 

 hardy flowers in his Nicollet avenue 

 store. He reports trade better than 

 ever. 



T. S. Lynes was working overtime 

 last week to keep up with wedding 

 orders. 



The W. Desmond Floral Co., on Lyn- 

 dale avenue, has a nice lot of sweet 

 peas and other stock. Arrangements 

 have been made for Rice Bros, to han- 

 dle the stock. This will enable W. D. 

 to sit right on the job. 



July 1 Mr. Pangalos severed his long 

 connection with the Minneapolis Fruit 

 Store, where he managed the flower 

 section. His new location is 2V22 

 Chicago avenue.

 Lyndale avenue, intends to specialize
