SILVER PINK FROM SEED 



BY OUR PATRONS 



"You have filled a long-felt need about Snapdragon."— Jas. Kearns, Jr., Rhine- 

 beck. N. Y. "Find check for |2.50 for 3 pkts. seed S. P. Snap. The first order you 

 sent us last year proved to be very satisfactory."— Schiller & Lefeber. Swarthmore, Pa. 

 "Tiie best we have seen — grew so fast and blossomed so profusely."— Gude Bros. Co., 

 Washington. D. C. "Duplicate my last year's order for 500 plants from seed. Never 

 had so many snapdragon blossoms." — C. L. Howe, Dover, N. H. And so we might con- 

 tinue. 



My original Silver Pink Snapdragon will produce twic« as many blossoms from 

 seed as any existing variety will from cuttings, and at one-eighth of the cost. It is a 

 marvel in beauty and productiveness. 



Strong, stocky, well branched plants now ready at only $4.00 per 100. $35.00 per 

 1000. Better order today, our stock is limited to 8000 of the kind that will blossom 

 this fall Seeds, the pure, true kind, $1.00 per pkt. of over 500 seeds; 3 pkts., $2,50, by 

 mail. Cultural directions free to customers.

The Market. 



The week started with a rush; all the 

 shops had something on Monday's or- 

 der file, and a large proportion of the 

 orders were for funeral work. Good 

 stock was used up clean. Orchids, val- 

 ley, Beauties, roses, carnations and 

 sweet peas were in such demand that it 

 became necessary to call on Philadelphia 

 for help. In the latter part of the week 

 business was rather slow, but there was 

 a little funeral work every day. The 

 hot days have made the cut of carna- 

 tions, roses and sweet peas shorten up, 

 but there are still lots of outdoor flow- 

 ers in this market. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. B. Herr, of Strasburg, Pa., says 

 he is still cutting some good White Per- 

 fection, Mrs. Ward and Beacon carna- 

 tions. The Beacons are fine, both in 

 color and stem, considering the extreme- 

 ly hot weather. In the week ending 

 .July 5 he cut 6,000 blooms. In the field 

 he hM 14,000 carnation plants of the 

 leading varieties, all looking fine and 

 healthy. 



At Rudolf Nagel's, on South West 

 End avenue, the new range of 4,000 

 feet of glass is all planted with mums. 

 There are 11,000 plants of the best and 

 newest varieties; the foliage looks well 

 and the plants are three feet high. The 

 aster plants are in good shape, but it 

 will be about two weeks .before he will 

 start cutting. He has 35,000 geraniums 

 to put in the sand, and also 3,000 plants 

 of the Silver Pink snapdragon for Au- 

 gust planting. 



At the Keystone Nurseries, on Co- 

 lumbia pike, everything is in up-to-date 

 condition. B. F. Barr says he has been 

 kept rather busy planning for the com- 

 ing season and getting the place in 

 shape to meet the demands. He has in- 

 creased his rose stock considerably by 

 adding a number of the new ones, such 

 as Mrs. Charles Russell, Milady, Aaron 

 Ward and Sunburst. He is also giving 

 Mrs. George Shawyer a trial. His plants 

 all look strong and healthy. The mums 

 are doing well and the foliage is good. 

 The aster plants, both indoors and out, 

 are small as yet and it will be two or 

 three weeks before there will be any 

 to cut. The outdoor sweet peas are
