SCHILLER'S PRIMROSES 



^^^ Strain thai<^ads 



SEEDS or PLANTS 



The constant selection for many years from thousands of Primula Obconica in bloom, of the plants with largest 

 flowers of purest colors and with most distinct markings, has given us a stock of such high pedigree that no other 

 strain either here or in Europe excels. It is in fact— 77ic Strain that Leads. 



Our plants will be ready as usual from 2-mch pots and shipping will commence the first day of June, but no orders 

 received now can be filled before end of June, as all earlier plants are engaged. 



We offer Primula Chinensis, Malacoides and Obconica in largest assortment of colors, at $5.00 per 100; $47.50 per 1000. 



Please let us have your order early. 



Seed of Primula Chinensis, in separate colors or mixed, at 75c per tr. pkt. 

 Seed of Primula Obconica, in separate colors or mixed, at Sl.OO per tr. pkt.

Tlie Market. 



The week was a bad one for produc- 

 tion. There was little sunshine and 

 both the day before and on Mothers* 

 day it rained continually. The supply 

 of roses, which was ahead of the de- 

 mand during the first part of the week, 

 continued so until Mothers' day. The 

 surplus at this time was taken up on 

 account of the dark weather. The week 

 went badly with carnations. A limited 

 cut was brought in and it is safe to say 

 that the supply was only about one- 

 fourth the demand. A medium grade 

 of sweet peas was plentiful but the 

 best sold readily. 



Much of the Mothers' day trade was 

 spoiled on account of the miserable 

 weather; nevertheless, nearly all the 

 shops sold clean. On account of the 

 announcement that Liberty bonds 

 should be bought instead of flowers, 

 some of the churches did not buy, but 

 the day is well rooted in the public 

 heart, as was seen by the sales.

AIiABAMA NOTES. 



Although Florence, Ala., and nearby 

 towns connected with it by trolley have 

 a population of 20,000, there is no flo- 

 rist 's establishment located there. 



The City Park Greenhouses, of Al- 

 bany, Ala., have an ideal location near 

 the heart of the town, where they main- 

 tain a rose garden. The roofs of the 

 greenhouses operated by this concern 

 recently were raised to give more head 

 room for growing stock. 



John Scott, of Huntsville, Ala., grows 

 some especially fine carnations and 

 snapdragons, besides Columbia, Bussell 

 and Ophelia roses, for his extensive 

 trade in cut flowers. He found a bench 

 of sweet alyssum extremely valuable 

 last winter, when flowers were scarce. 



It was necessary for the Tri-City Flo- 

 ral Co., of Gadsden, Ala., to lock the 

 doors of its retail store for two hours 

 recently because of the rush of funeral 

 work. L. F. D. 



Richmond, Ind. — Jos. H. Hill Co. has 

 installed the Kroeschell refrigerating 

 fystem in the cooling room at its green- 

 house establishment.

An Invitation 



juiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiii^ 



To see the Best Scarlet Beddinar Geranium in existence today 



HELEN MICHELL 



At present, a house that we are reserving for our stock 

 of this variety is a wonderful sight— a mass of bloom 



Considering the plant and the marvelous blooms, if 

 you are not acauainted with this Oeranium, it is well 

 that you be so as soon as possible. Tou are losing 

 money by not growing it. 



Each year we have been obliged to decline orders, as 

 the demand is invariably greater than the supply. On 

 this account, during the coming season, we will grow 

 HELhN MICHELL only, discarding all other varieties 

 of Oeraniums. 



Everyone is cordially invited to inspect this wonder- 

 ful variety at our Nurseries. Andalusia, Bucks Co., Pa., 

 which is easily accessible from Philadelphia. 



Orders are booked now for delivery early next winter. 



The price of strong, 2>4-in. pot plants will be as 

 follows : 



$ 1 .25 per dozen 



6.00 , per lOO 



SO.OO per 1000 



This price may seem high, but when you realize that you can get more for this variety 

 than any other, it will prove to be low.
