The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 19, 1916. 



MEMORIAL DAY NEXT 



If you wish to have a money-making crop for this 

 most important holiday, sow some seed of snapdragons 

 at once. - 



The accompanying picture was taken at Memorial 

 time. You could grasp in one hand a dollar's worth of 

 blooms anywhere on the bed. There is no plant to 

 equal snapdragon. 



Seed of our famous Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 

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

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

 for $1.00.

tically necessary under existing condi- 

 tions for the seedsmen* to retain the 

 non-warranty clause. It is too easy 

 for the grower to ascribe the loss of a 

 crop to poor seed, when in reality not 

 the seed but the manner in which it 

 was handled or thi weather and soil 

 conditions were wnolly to blame. 



The Other Side of the Case. 



In the preceding paragraphs I have 

 tried to state impartially the reasons 

 for the existence of the non-warranty 

 clause from the seedsmen's viewpoint. 

 If I have not done so, then I have not 

 correctly sensed the situation. I shall 

 now attempt to state the other side of 

 the case. 



[To be concluded next week] 



MOTT-LT GLEAKINOS. 



Northrup, King & Co., of Minne- 

 apolis, Minn., have in course of con- 

 struction what is intended to be the 

 latest model of a seed plant. Through 

 the courtesy of George C. Thomson I 

 was able to inspect the new plant, 

 which consists of five separate build- 

 ings, each of which contains an acre of 

 floor spaee. The buildings are four 

 stories high and have basements. A 

 subway, which connects the buildings, 

 is 80 constructed as to permit passage 

 of a large auto truck. Around each 

 building is a railroad track, which is 

 connected by means of a spur with the 

 main tracks close by. Fireproof and 

 vermin-proof, each building is con- 

 structed to withstand the heaviest 

 weights. It is intended to transfer the 

 of&ces to the new establishment, which 

 is within easy reach of the center of 

 the t<i%n. Especial attention has been 

 paid to ventilation and the siphon auto- 

 matic system was considered the most 

 satisfactory. 



The W. H. Bofferding Co., of Minne- 

 apolis, has moved into a new and larger 

 store near the market, where it expects 

 to increase its extensive seed connec- 

 tions and add to the sale of plants. 



The Faribault Seed & Nursery Co., of 

 Faribault, Minn., reports a satisfactory 

 business. It has taken over the store 

 recently operated by H. Slack and con- 

 ducts a retail branch downtown.
