AUGUSTFOR DOLLARS 



$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 



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 Easter, which will continue until July, being 

 heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was taken. 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 bow successful many of our patrons have been. Oude Bros., 

 Washintrton, D. C, with their six acres of glass and the highest class trade 

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

 with bis acres of glass and chain of stores, says It is fine and that h) never 

 had so many snapdragon blossoms. Mr. J. Geo. Jurgens, for Arthur Cock- 

 croft, Northport, N. Y., who does an immense wholesale business, says It is 

 the only one to stow, and that Silver Pink will GO IT ALONE with 

 them this year. Many more strong letters could be given but further 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 tlie 

 smaller grower with retail trade, where a steady supply of blossoms is 

 required. You can cut and cut from a bed of seedling Silver 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 surplus plants.

look like an average yield, but the 

 wet weather has not helped them and 

 the crop could under no circumstances 

 make up any shortage elsewhere. 



Sweet peas promise fairly well, but 

 the weather also has been against them 

 and the shortage reported from Cali- 

 fornia can not be relieved from Ger- 

 man crops. Ten weeks' stocks are 

 likely to turn out short of the re- 

 quirements and conditions are such 

 that the growers fear the proportion 

 of doubles will be reduced. The peren- 

 nial plants are in flower later than 

 usual and the annuals are growing vig- 

 orously. The weather is in favor of 

 planting of biennials, but settled, 

 bright weather is needed for almost all 

 crops. 



CLEVELAND, O. 



The Market. 



Gladioli are holding full sway at this 

 writing, with asters a close second. 

 Some fine America, Augusta and other 

 popular sorts are seen. The new crop 

 carnations are in, but not in quantity. 

 Giganteum lilies are fine and sold well 

 up to the glut of gladioli, which has 

 first call. Business is light, few buy- 

 ing more than just enough to see them 

 through the day.
