Sow them now for midwinter and early 

 Spring blooming. Seed saved from an un- 

 excelled collection of pot grown plants, remark- 

 able for their compact habit and enormous size 

 of blooms; the latter often attain a diameter of 

 four inches and over. 



We have been selecting the finest plants for seed 

 bearers for many years and the seed has been carefully 

 hand picked, is strong in germinating qualities, and 

 contains a wide range of colors, running from purest 

 white to darkest crimson, including all the intermediate shades of blue, lavender, pink, scarlet, etc.

This concern, founded by the late Eu- 

 gene Germain, is now the Germain Seed 

 & Plant Co., and the present head, M. L. 

 Germain, was then a little boy in knee 

 breeches, though even in those days he 

 made almost daily visits to the nursery 

 with his father. It is pleasant to relate 

 that both boy and business have made 

 rapid growth since the ' ' good old days. ' ' 

 In those times local fanciers used to 

 visit Dr. Howard, botanist and plant 

 lover, on thfe corner of Ninth and Olive 

 streets, and there met a youth by the 

 name of Fred, who is the founder and 

 president of the well-known firm of 

 Howard & Smith. Their fine modern 

 city plant is located on the old home 

 grounds and until a few years ago, when 

 increasing business made their removal 

 necessary, some of the original trees, 

 40 years of age, were still standing.

Stock is in good condition. While a 

 few of the choicer varieties of cut 

 flowers, such as orchids, gardenias and 

 one or two of the roses, are not any too 

 plentiful, the rest of the flowers are 

 abundant and of exceptionally fine 

 quality. Peonies are in their prime 

 and are bringing good prices. Statice, 

 both fresh and dried, is one of the 

 popular decorative plants and the com- 

 paratively new variety in an attractive 

 rose color is proving a strong seller for 

 basket work. Carnations are improving 

 and a good cut was on hand for Memo- 

 rial day. Boses are in fine condition 

 and most of the dealers report a close
