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 



Sow Snapdragon Seed 



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 

 for $1.00. Free cultural directions. All orders cash.

of certain characteristic weed seeds. 

 These seeds are usually not numerous, 

 but no importation of commercial Turk- 

 estan seed has been examined by the 

 seed laboratory of the department in 

 which they were not present. On ac- 

 count of these characteristic weed seeds 

 not being plentiful, it is always neces- 

 sary, in determining the origin of the 

 seed, to examine a bulk of seed, and not ^ 

 depend on the examination of a small 

 trade sample. Anyone wishing to have 

 alfalfa seed examined, to determine its 

 possible Turkestan origin, should send 

 not less than one-half pound of seed to 

 the seed laboratory. Bureau of Plant 

 Industry, Department of Agriculture, 

 Washington, D. C. 



A discussion of the relative value of 

 commercial Turkestan alfalfa seed will 

 be found in Department Bulletin No. 

 138, "Commercial Turkestan Alfalfa 

 Seed."
