The Florists' Review 



J«LX IS, l»l«. 



JULY and AUGUST 



THESE ARE THE MONTHS in which to start seedling Snapdragon 

 plants to follow Mums. Snapdragons have become immensely pop- 

 ular, and for profit to grower there is no plant that touches them. 

 We have all of the good ones, seed of which were grown under 

 glass, with each variety in a separate house— meaning the best seed 

 that can be produced. Prices as follows : 



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

 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, 

 Buxton, Phelps' White and fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3 for 

 $1.00. Frse cultural directions. All orders cash. 



There is a big shortage of Snapdragon plants, due to rainy season, 

 so grow all the plants that you can and market any surplus. Our 

 famous Silver Pink will be the leader, with our other good ones in 

 their color. Every mail brings repeat orders and puffs for RAMS- 

 BURG'S SILVER PINK. 



Remember July and August and start 

 some seedling Snapdragon plants.

tions are coming in, but they meet only 

 with an average demand. Their quality 

 is none too good. Green goods are in 

 heavy supply and all the stores are 

 overstocked. 



Club Meeting. 

 The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Club was held July 10. The night was 

 exceedingly warm and the attendance 

 only light. The routine business quick- 

 ly was disposed of and was followed by 

 a discussion of the trip to Harpers 

 Ferry and surrounding country. It was 

 finally decided that July 27 should be 

 the date, the meeting place the club 

 rooms, at 8 a. m. sharp. As the trip 

 will be a long one, it is necessary to 

 leave town early. Lunch may be had 

 at Harpers Ferry or some other point, 

 which will be decided upon before leav- 

 ing the city. Those who wish to pro- 

 vide a hamper of edibles will not find 

 it out of place. Those who contemplate 

 going would do well to get in touch 

 with John J. Perry, who is chairman of 

 the committee. 



Various Notes. 



S. W. Shanklin is shipping some of 

 the first asters of the season to the Leo

 Natural Bridge of Virginia, with a por-

 scenery. The rocks were of papier- 

 mache, and to imitate the st^am mir- 

 rors were used. W. F. E.
