The Florists' Review

Carnation Cuttings 



FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: 



Is it profitable to purchase cheap stock? Our experience has taught us that you very rarely get a 

 bargain in cheap cuttings or plants. 



We refuse positively to handle the cheaper grades. Our contracts are placed this year with the very 

 best growers in the country, each a specialist in his particular line. 



The quality is right. The packing is right, and. above all, the prices are right, and you have our absolute guar- 

 antee with every order sent out.

range at Cumberland, Ind. This beetle 

 is known to the berry grower as the 

 strawberry root worm and is the larva 

 form of the beetle. It hides in the earth 

 and comes up on the foliage of the rose, 

 eating little round holes in the leaves 

 until a perfect network is made, thus 

 ruining the stock for salable purposes. 

 The Smith & Young Co. has been spray- 

 ing the plants with arsenate of lead, but 

 with little harm to the pests. E. E. T.
