GO IT ALONE! 



We have told you our story of Silver Pink Snapdragon, 

 and now you will please note the verification of it by photograph 

 and patrons. The photo shows a section of a bed taken last Memo- 

 rial Day. It bad been in crop for six weeks, yielding a good daily 

 cut, and, by the way, is still doing good business— a continuous per- 

 formance. Sow seeds in July and AugfuBt for same resulti, 

 The following letters prove our slory and show that Silver Pink 

 does the same for other folks : 



Noithport. L. I., N. Y.. July 8, 1913. 

 Dear Sir: Knclosed pl^-ase find check for 

 $2.B0, for which you will kln<lly forward 3 

 pktB. of Silver Pink Snap. seed. The only 

 kind to Sfrow; have tried them all, but SIL- 

 VKR PINK will BTo it alone this year.

'Dear Sir: Had Rreat luck with 



your Sliver Pink SnaodraKon 



and want three (3) pkts. more, 



for which am enclosloK check. 



Yours truly, Wm. O. Lewis. 



See my ad for the last three weeks for other proof. Silver Pink 

 from seed produces TWO blossoms where formerly one grew, 

 which means double the money on the same space. Notwithstand- 

 ing this fact. I made the price low and will keep it there. Seed, 

 $1.00 per pkt. of over oOO; 3 pkts., 12.50, delivered. PLANTS for 

 FALL-FLOWERING now ready at $4.00 per 100. $35,00 per 1000, 

 These are strong, well branched stock, ready for the bench. Cul- 

 tural directions with order. \

NEWPORT, R, I, 



The Horticultural Society. 



At a meeting of the Newport Horti- 

 cultural Society July 8, a vote of thanks 

 was extended to Mrs. William Storrs 

 Wells, expressing the appreciation of 

 President Andrew S. Meikle and the 

 members of the society for her kind- 

 ness in having out-of-town exhibitors, 

 judges and helpers at the recent flower 

 show entertained with a supper. 



The society also voted Jo hold its 

 fall dahlia exhibition in September, the 

 show to include plants, flowers, vegeta- 

 bles and fruits. A special meeting will 

 be held .July 22 to adopt a premium 

 list. Several special premiums have al- 

 ready been promised. An invitation 

 from the Rhode Island Horticultural 

 Society to take part in its sweet pea 

 show .July 19 at Providence was re- 

 ceived. 



A certificate of merit was awarded 

 to a new white climbing rose, a seedling 

 from a pink rambler. It is called Rob- 

 ertson 's Rambler and is a strong, ram- 

 pant grower, possessing strong canes 

 and heavy foliage. The flower is white; 

 the individual flowers are not so large 

 as those of the white Dorothy Perkins. 



Various Notes. 



Gibson Bros., Malbone road, have 

 just received a large importation of 

 palms, bay trees and hydrangeas. 



There is much concern among the 

 florists here regarding the high price oi* 

 ice, the present schedule calling for $9 

 per ton. There has been an advance 

 of nearly $2 per ton during the last 

 week.

 one lartgj^- range of houses, and is offer- 

 ing the block of land for sale. 



Alexander Mc"^^lliams, who has been
