POTS 



PLOWBU POTS. Clay, red ones, t. o. b. 

 St. Louis, Mo. I can but say that the condi- 

 tions are such that Flower Pots will be one of 

 the scarce items for the coming season. Do you 

 know that a few years back there were several 

 hundred potteries in the country making Flower 

 Pots? Do you know that there are probably 

 less than 50 today making Flower Pots? Do .vou 

 know that the two items connected with tlie 

 delivery have made such an advance tliat there 

 cannot be any other answer except tliat Flower 

 Pots will have to sell for more money? Ijiil)or 

 and packing material have made sufh an enor- 

 mous increase to tlie expense account and the 

 end is not yet, therefore, I would advise early 

 orders for your next season's wants, it matters 

 not if you buy througli me or not, but the con- 

 ditions are such tliat you may do witliout suf- 

 ficient supply another season if you do not pre- 

 pare in advance. To protect as far us it is 

 possible to protect for future, I would advise 

 you to make up your list of wants now and 

 si)ecify about date you want shipment made. 

 Tills is no idle talk, for I am in touch with the 

 markets and may say that I sold two cars of 

 pots a week for several weeks past and to those 

 who are keen to the existing conditioiis. 



These prices ar<' iiuoted for immediate ac- 

 ceptance and subject to change without notice; 

 can supply smaller sizes now except 4-ln., bal- 

 ance later on. 



Size 2-in. 2Vi-in. 2>2-in. 3-in.

Size 5V.2-ln. 



Price per 1000. .$42.00 



Also 5Vi-in. by 5 in. deep, an ideal Lily 

 pot as tlie pot is not too higli for a short 

 plant and plenty high enough for a tall plant 

 and is wider at the bottom than the standard 

 5%-in. pot. $42.00 per 1000. Sold a car load 

 to one grower. 



Size C-in. 7-in: 8 in. 9-in. 10-in. 



Per 100 $5.50 $9.40 $14.80 $22.35 $30.05 



5-in. and up besides standard sizes can also 

 supply the three-quarter, or as sometimes called. 

 Azalea pot; also bulb pans, all at same price 

 as standard size. 



If you can use a car load, write me and send 

 your list along and I will quote you special 

 price. In car lots, unless specified, will pack 

 all sizes above the 3-in. loose in car. If wanted 

 crated, mention as they will cost considerable 

 more. A. M. Augspurger, Peoria, 111. 



NEPONSEIT WATEUPHOOP Paper Pots, T. 

 o. b. Distributing point, Mass. Note increase 

 of price and I cannot see what will prevent 

 another increase due to ]>ai)er stock condition.

WIRE DESIGNS. 

 I am prepared to offer designs from one of the 

 oldest and most reliable manufacturers of de- 

 signs in this part of the country and while the 

 workmanship is as good as the best and a great 

 deal better than much of the flimsy stuff that 

 is being sent out, yet when prices are com- 

 pared you will find that they do not cost any- 

 more and at times less than some that are not 

 so well made. Send me a list of your wants 

 and I will be pleased to quote you.

DISEASED GERANIXTM LEAVES 



I am sending a few geranium leaves 

 to find out what is the matter and wha' 

 can be done for them. We pick off thv' 

 affected leaves and the next day ther.' 

 are just as many in the same condition. 



P. E. R.— Minn. 



The condition of the specimen leaves 

 indicates that your geranium plants arc 

 affected with some serious trouble witli 

 which I am not familiar. Not knowin^j 

 your cultural methods or the conditions 

 surrounding the plants, it is difficult for 

 me to suggest just what to do for the 

 trouble. The best that I can advise is 

 for you to have one of the prominent 

 growers of your vicinity look over tht 

 plants to see if he can help you out in 

 the matter. I should suggest that you 

 show a plant or two to Theodore Wirth, 

 superintendent of the Minneapolis park 

 system, and ask his advice. M. P. 



GERANIUM SEEDLING. 



I am sending you a specimen of a red 

 geranium, which I have purchased under 

 two different names, and also a varie 

 gated one. Can you tell me the cor- 

 rect name of the red one? The other 

 I raised from seed. Is it a known va 

 riety or is it a new one? The bloom 

 on it lasts longer than that on anv 

 other I have. Y. & S. — Pa. " 



The geraniums arrived in a badly 

 rotted condition, making it difficult to 

 tell anything about fhem. The red va 

 riety could be either Alphonse Ricard, 

 Decorator or Peter Henderson, three 

 varieties that are alike as regards color 

 and growth, but the specimen was too 

 far gone to tell what it is. If the varie- 

 gated variety is of your own raisin^^ 

 from seed, then it is a seedling, but it 

 is impossible for me to offer any opinion 

 as to its value from the specimen re- 

 ceived. M. P. 



TOO LIBERAL TREATMENT. 



I am sending some geranium leaves, 

 from plants of Buchner and Viaud. The 

 disease on them seems to be a scald or 

 wilt, attacking Buchner chiefly. The 

 plants are strong and healthy, and I 

 cannot see any cause for such a disease. 



J. H.— Kan. 



Judging from the thick, succulent ap- 

 pearance and heavy ribs of the sampl-' 

 leaves, I would say the indications point 

 to your geranium plants having becomo 

 bloated from too liberal treatment. In 

 comparison with the foliage of the same 

 varieties of our own stock, the sample^ 

 submitted show a marked degree oA 

 coarseness. 



I am of the opinion that the trouble 

 can be traced to some soil or treatmen: 

 that is producing an abnormal growtl:- 

 easily affected by disease. I should ad- 

 vise for the plants a lower temperature, 

 with plenty of ventilation as the 

 weather will permit, less water at the 

 roots and drier conditions about the 

 house. 



If the plants have not received their 

 final repotting, give them a different 

 soil, one not so rich, for this potting and 

 allow enough space between the plants 

 for a free circulation of air. M. P. 



Brookrille, Mass. — Roy E. Dunham is 

 taking his father into business with 

 him.
