August is the time of sowing for the biggest results from 

 SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON from seed. Seed for the accom- 

 panying picture was sown August 18. By sowing at once a full 

 crop can be had at Blaster, which will continue until July, being 

 heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was talien. We have 

 said that there was nothing in sight but blossoms and dollars, and 

 it is a fact. Silver Pink from seed is easy to grow and anyone can 

 do as well by following directions. Whether you grow Snapdragons 

 from seed or cuttings, they should be timed to flower with as 

 little pinching as possible. Plants produced ahead of time and 

 held back by pinching lose vitality and often throw blind shoots. 

 By sowing seed now and pinching once you will have fine, stocky 

 plants, ready for the bench in November. Our free cultural 

 directions cover all of the necessary points for success with 

 Silver Pink from seed. 



You will note how successful many of our patrons have been. Gude Bros., 

 Washington, D. C, with their six acres of glass and the highes^t class trade 

 In the country, say it is the best they have seen. C. L. Howe, Dover, N. H., 

 with his acres of glass and chain of stores, says it is fine and that h-< never 

 had so m-»ny snapdragon blossom'. Mr. J. Geo. Jurgens, for Arthur Cock- 

 croft, Northpoit, N. Y.. who do^s an immense wholesale bu-iness. bays It is 

 the only one to grow, and that Silver Pink will Go IT ALONE with 

 them this year. Many more strong letters could be given but furth-r proof 

 is not necessary. These are wide-awake florists who do business for profit. 

 What is profitable and good for the big growers is as good or better for the 

 smaller giower with retail trade, where a stpady sunply o« blossoms is 

 required. You can cut and cut from a bed of seedling Si ver Pink and each 

 cut will make more blossoms. But sow seed at once for best results. 



Price of seed, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 pkts., $2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00, by mail. 

 Cash, please. Plants sold out until October. 



Quite a few shrewd florists are buying the larger amount of seed and 

 will market their surp'us planto.

marked, and proved by .experience, that 

 this has very little to do with the size 

 of the bulbs, provided they are of prop- 

 er age." 



SEED WHEAT. 



The illustration was prepared from a 

 photograph taken recently of a field of 

 wheat growing in New Jersey. Walter 

 P. Stokes, who took the photograph, 

 says the seed was sown at the rate of 

 one-half bushel to the acre instead of 

 the usual two bushels to the acre. When 

 questioned as to the variety of wheat, 

 Mr. Stokes' eyes twinkled as he replied 

 "Dollar-Mark." Phil.
