SEPTEMBER SOWING 



IRjY SOWING seed of Silver Pink Snapdragon during 

 I §ij September, you can have a continuous supply of 

 ^^ blossoms from Easter until July. Pause a moment 

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

 can be depended upon to do htak so much business nor 

 yield half so much prpfit. 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.. 15.00— 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 potting on without further topping. Order early, even if 

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

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

 hold 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. 

 500 or more at 1000 rate. Cash, please.

Stock is shortening up considerably. 

 The outdoor crops that have been the 

 mainstay during the summer season are 

 nearing their end, while the continued 

 cool and more or less cloudy weather 

 has held the indoor crops in check. 

 Boses are improving right along, while 

 the call for them is fast getting to be 

 the kind the flowers warrant. In 

 pink, Killarney and My Maryland are 

 selling far better than their white con- 

 freres. More Beauties' could easily be 

 used. Asters still are in heavy supply, 

 but the cut includes few choice ones. 

 These sell well. The medium and poorer 

 grades do not find any too good a mar- 

 ket. Gladioli have got to a point where 

 most of the receipts are rather short- 

 stemmed. Good cosmos and dahlias are 

 selling well. Carnations are in much 

 heavier supply than at last writing. 

 The better grades enjoy a quite active 

 demand. Easter lilies are fine and are 

 proving good property. Orchids and 

 valley are regular items and so far 

 have been selling well. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell says he has arranged 

 to handle one and one-third times as 

 many cut ferns this year as he handled 

 last year. 



The B. G. Hill Floral Co. has the fall 

 opening decoration for the Gidding 

 store. 



Wm. Speck is sending some excellent 

 carnations to the market. 



Jos. Maunder, of Newport, as usual, 

 had the decoration for the fall opening 

 of the Fair stores.
