The Florists' Review 



August 10, 1919. 



AUGUST FOR DOLLARS 



By October you will have cut the early mums and vacant 

 space will be accumulating. August is THE month in 

 which to start snap seedlings to follow mums. So get 

 busy and .

at once. Seedling plants will be stronger and healthier, 

 and give better results than plants from cuttings. Grow 

 plenty, as there will be a quick market for any surplus. 



New crop seed of the following good ones: Our original Silver 

 Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed of Nelrose, 

 Phelps' White, Yellow, Garnet and Fancy Mixed, 35c per pkt.; 3

furniture fully thirty-eight feet from 

 the entrance, back through the rooms. 

 His first thought was of the greenhouses, 

 not far distant, but they, luckily, es- 

 caped with a loss of less than 1,000 

 panes of glass. The store on Cortland 

 street, Manhattan, suffered a loss of 

 two heavy bulk windows of plate glass, 

 exactly one-quarter of an inch thick, 

 which' were broken into a thousand 

 pieces. The window in Mr. O'Mara's 

 office was blown to smithereens and 

 would have fallen on Mr. O'Mara's 

 genial crown had he been at his usual 

 post. Fortunately, it was Sunday, and 

 the craft was enjoying the midsummer 

 leisure, or they would have had dis- 

 astrous experiences. In many places 

 the streets were completely covered 

 with broken glass. All day Sunday and 

 a part of Monday I saw loads of glass 

 gathered and hauled away. 



Peth & Duggan, the new New York 

 seed house, had their store window 

 blown in, Mr. Peth agreed that a new 

 window would give them an entirely 

 new outlook. 



Robert Leach and William Keyser, of 

 Jersey City, lost considerable glass, es- 

 pecially the former, their greenhouses 

 being in the zone. W. M.
