SEPTEMBER SOWING 



rejY SOWING seed of Silver Pink Snapdragon during 

 |§>j September, you can have a continuous supply of 

 ^^ blo8soms from Easter until July. Pause a moment 

 and figure what this means. There is no other plant that 

 can be depended upon to do half so much business nor 

 yield half so much profit. See recent ads to find what 

 our patrons say. A big grower who had one pkt. of seed 

 last year has just reordered seven pkts. This is the kind 

 of evidence that counts. 



Silver Pink is easy to grow, and our free directions give the 

 necessary rules. Our prices are low and, whether you use seeds or 

 plants, you can have a bed at very small cost. Price of s-ed. over 

 500 to the pkt., $1.00; 3 pkts.. *2..50; 7 pkts.,$5.00-by return mail. 



PLANTS 



We have the finest plants that we have grown— about 25,000 of 

 them, ready for shipment in October. They will be ready for the 

 bench or pottinsr on without further topping. Order early, even if 

 you are not ready to bench. By gettiug them when ready, you will 

 save on the price and express If your bench is not ready, you can 

 bold them in 3-inch pots. Figure your needs and let your order 

 come. The price is only $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 1000, by express. 



Cash, please.

Charles H. Hunt figured in an acci- 

 <lent with his automobile a few days 

 ago. A small child suddenly dodged 

 from behind an ice-wagon and ran di- 

 rectly in front of Mr. Hunt 's machine, 

 which struck the child but fortunately 

 without seriously injuring it, as the 

 machine was moving quite slowly. No 

 hlame was attached t(t Mr. Hunt for the 

 accident.

The Market. 



The last two weeks have been uu- 

 Hventful ones in the business here. The 

 drought continues, with no appearance 

 of a break. Stock is growing well in 

 general, for everything, of course, is 

 indoors now. 



Eoses are arriving in good quantities, 

 especially short-stemmed ones. There 

 seems to be an unusually large number 

 of fairly good American Beauties for 

 this season of the year. liadiance is 

 seen in greater quantities than ever 

 hefore, while Kaiserin is always abun- 

 dant in this market. The yellows are 

 more numerous than ever before, and 

 they are being used a great deal in de- 

 sign work, especially Ward. Dahlias 

 are beginning to put in their appear- 

 ance, but not in sufficient quantity to

niiiuunt to much. The first of the new 

 Russell roses were seen in the Nash- 

 ville market last week. When they 

 were placed in the same vase with 

 American Beauty, it was difficult to 

 distinguish the two varieties. Those 

 who are growing the Russell rose state 

 that they are much pleased with its 

 behavior thus far. 



Carnations are beginning to put in 

 their appearance, but the quality is 

 not right yet. The French bulbs have 

 begun to arrive, though the main ship- 

 ments are not here. A limited num- 

 ber of Paper Whites have already been 



planted. Contrary to all reports, tlio 

 quality of the bulbs is fully up to tli*" 

 usual standard. None of the Dut'^h 

 bulbs have arrived here as yet. 



Various Notea 



A new pest has attacked the canua" 

 in some places in Nashville this year— ' 

 a peculiar, striped worm, not unlike th'' 

 worm that attacks parsley and other 

 such stock. Of course, it is easy to con 

 trol the pest by poisoning.

 of holding a special Friday afternoon 

 sale at low prices, to clean up. A week
