August is the time of sowing for the biggest results fiom 

 SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON from seed Seed for the ace m, 

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

 crop can be had at East«r, which will continue until July, bf>ag 

 heaviest at Memorial Day, when this picture was taken. We hare 

 said that there was nothing in sight but blossoms aud 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 soccwsful many of our patrons have been. Gude Bros., 

 Wasbi' gton, D. C, with their six acres of glass aiM the hitrhect class tiade 

 In the country, say It is the hnst ihe> have seen. C. L. Howe, Dover, N. H., 

 with his acref< of glass and chain of stoies. says It is fine and thHt h - never 

 had 80 m*ny snapdragon bi'»s>m'. Mr. J. Geo. Jurgen*. for Arthur Cock- 

 croft, N'ortbpoit, N. Y. who do^s an immense wholesale buiness. ray>> it !■ 

 the only one ti btow, and that Hilver Pink will G<i IT ALONB with 

 them this year. Many uiore Ktrong letters could be given but Jurth- r proof 

 is. not necehsary. These are wide-awnkH florists who do business for profit 

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

 smaller giower with ret»il trade, where a steady supply o' biossom-* is 

 required. You can cut aud cut from a bed of seedling Si Vf r Pink and each 

 cut will make more blo^noma. But sow seed at once f'lr best resu'ts. 



Price of need. $1.00 pnr pkt.: 3 pkis., $2.50; 7 pkte., $5.00, by mail. 

 Cash, please. Plants sold out uutil October. 



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

 will market their surp us plant".

NEW ORLEANS, LA. 



The Market. 



This month 's business in general is 

 entirely the opposite of last month, and 

 the florists and their employees have 

 ample time to take a much needed va- 

 cation. Single tuberoses, asters and 

 roses are the principal outdoor cut flow- 

 ers at present, and the supply easily 

 covers the demand. Although we have 

 had a few weeks of really hot weather 

 during the summer, heavy thunderstorms 

 have cooled off the atmosphere fre- 

 quently and kept the outdoor plants 

 growing well. Nearly all of the im- 

 mense lot of chrysanthemums growing 

 here, indoors and outdoors, are now in a 

 healthy, strong condition, and the out- 

 look for the coming crop is optimistic. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Papworth, president of the Me- 

 tairie Ridge Nursery Co., has left for 

 the convention at Minneapolis and other 

 places of interest. 



C. W. Eichling is attending the rail- 

 road gardeners ' convention at Nashville, 

 Tenn., after which he will spend a few 

 weeks in the mountains. 



On account of the long distance, few 

 from this city are in attendance at the 

 S. A. F. convention at Minneapolis. 

 R. E.

 ning the erection of a house for palms 

 and orchids, 25x30 feet. 



Natchez, Miss. — Chris Maier & Bro. 

 have added two houses, 20x50 feet, to 

 their range. AH of the houses are now 

 planted to carnations, which are doing 

 well. The firm is laying plans to do a 

 bedding plant trade in the near future. 



St. Paul, Minn. — The park board has. 

 selected the site for the proposed- 4^5 ^f^ 

 000 greenhouse. Superintendent Nuss-

 lapse-
