to do business. As the money needs of 

 cities have increased, however, many 

 cities have "assessed a tax in the form 

 of a license fee on the businesses of the 

 community; it applies to the hardware 

 merchant, the clothier and the depart- 

 ment store as well as the florist and the 

 latter has no special complaint unless 

 the fees are inequitable. 



There is another kind of license, how- 

 ever, usually imposed at the request and 

 in behalf of the merchants who pay 

 taxes year after year — it is to keep out 

 the peddlers and itinerant merchants 

 who are here today and gone tomorrow. 

 Such licenses bear upon the florist in 

 accordance with the character of the 

 business he does; if he has a permanent 

 retail store he is almost certain to ap- 

 prove of them, but if his place is out- 

 side the corporate limits and he is 

 classed among the peddlers he is apt to 

 look upon such restrictions as interfer- 

 ing with the rights of a freeborn Ameri- 

 can citizen. 



A GIRL'S SUCCESS.

 years of age, but she is making a name 

 lor herself in the trade in New York.

WINTER FLOWERS FROM SEED. 



I would like to know what to sow in 

 my benches so as to have blooms dur- 

 ing January and February. When 

 should the seed be planted? I was 

 thinking of stocks, snapdragons and 

 mignonette, but perhaps you can sug- 

 gest something better. 



C. F. R.— Ore. 



Mignonette started now will begin 

 to flower late in October. Snapdragons 

 will give their first crop about Christ- 

 mas. Sow seeds of the intermediate va- 

 rieties. They will bloom until the fol- 

 lowing summer, as will the mignonette. 

 Calendulas sown about September 1 will 



prove to be a good crop. Such stocks as 

 White and Pink Column and other forc- 

 ing varieties sown next month would 

 also come in at the time mentioned. 

 Sweet peas, if you have head room for 

 them, are fine winter bloomers. Use 

 the winter-blooming Spencers. The hy- 

 brid dimorphothecas may be started in 

 early October for flowering about Feb- 

 ruary 1. Annual larkspurs sown in Au- 

 gust will also start to bloom at the same 

 time. Most of these plants like a tem- 

 perature of 50 degrees at night, but 

 mignonette prefers cooler treatment, so 

 give it the coolest part of the house.
