THE original Album of 

 Designs was published 

 in response to many requests 

 from florists who felt the 

 need for an up-to-date book 

 that could be used in taking 

 orders for Funeral Designs, 

 Wedding Decorations and 

 Bouquets, Table Decorations and all cut flower 

 work where it was not practicable to show the 

 customer the finished article as it would be 



per 

 dozen 



when ready for use. With 

 the publication of this albun\ 

 it became possible to show 

 the finished work in 



beautifully printed pictures. 

 The first edition sold like 

 hot cakes, a second and third 

 edition Went quickly. Now 

 a fourth edition is off the press. Everything 

 is in it — all the standard designs and many 

 new pieces. 



96 pages, nearly 30O designs and decorations, beautifully printed on 

 heavy art paper, iiandsomely bound in a cover that will stand wear.

CUT FLOWERS ALL SUMMER. 



Will you ])loase toll mo what to fi;row 

 so ns to have cut flowers from June 

 until October? W. J. II.— Kan. 



The hulk of the flowers would natur- 

 ally 1)0 outdoors and would bo either 

 annuals or herbaceous ])eronnials. In- 

 doors you could have cold storajije gi- 

 {i^antoum lilies rij^ht through the sum- 

 mer, and speciosums potted in fall could 

 be kejit in bloom in July, Aujjust and 

 September, by holding; some back in a 

 collar after potting and keopin<r the rest 

 of them under a greenhouse bench. 



These annuals would bo valuable: 

 Asters, sweet peas, candytuft, Gypso- 

 ])hila elegans, larkspurs, bachelor's but- 

 tons, sweet sultans, coreopsis, calendu- 

 las, cosmos, mignonette, nasturtiums, 

 marigolds, scabiosas, nigellas, stocks 

 and zinnias. 



In hardy perennials some of the best 

 for cutting are: Larkspurs, peonies, 

 Gypsophila paniculata, Euphorbia co- 

 rollata, phloxes, hemerocallis, liatris, 



physostegia, Pyrethrum roseum, sweet 

 Williams, spiraeas, Stokesia cyanea, 

 Achillea Ptarmica The Pearl, Scabiosa 

 caucasica, Lysimachia clethroides, ve- 

 ronicas, German and Siberian irises, 

 heliantluis, asters, rudbeckias, Coreop- 

 sis grandiflora, Gaillardia grandiflora, 

 Clematis recta, Shasta daisies or Chrys- 

 anthemum maximum, Campanula persi- 

 cifolia, Anemone japonica, aquilegias 

 and aconitums. All of these may not 

 succeed with you, but all are good for 

 cutting. In addition, dahlias, if they 

 succeed, would be useful in early fall, 

 and gladioli give a long succession of 

 flowers if several batches are planted. 

 Tuberoses also would succeed well with 

 you. 



If restricted to but a few varieties of 

 the foregoing, I would grow: In an- 

 nuals, asters, bachelor's buttons, sweat 

 sultans, Gypsophila elegans, cosmos, 

 sweet peas and nasturtiums; in hardy 

 plants, Achillea The Pearl, Gypsophila 

 paniculata, irises, larkspurs, peonies, 

 Shasta daisies, acpiilegias and helian- 

 thus. Those would be likely to succeed 

 well with you. 



Hybrid tea roses give flowers all sum- 

 mer if you can give them water. Such 

 shrubs as Hydrangea arboresceus, H. 

 paniculata grandiflora, Buddloia mag- 

 nifica and the new forms of Philadel- 

 phus Lemoiiioi, to mention only a few 

 shrubs, are useful for cutting. C. W.
