JULY and AUGUST 



THESE ARE THE MONTHS in which to start seedling Snapdragon 

 plants to foUow 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 $6.00. Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, 

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

 $1.00. Frae 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.
