0T BY SOWING SEED NOW you can have blossome in pro- 

 ^^ fusion from Bpringtime until July, being heaviest at Memo- 

 rial Day, when " flowers are flowers." There is no plant that will 

 equal Silver Pink for blossoms and proflt. Our free cultural 

 directions make growing simple. Price of seed, $1.00 per pkt.; 

 3 pkts., $2.50; 7 pkts., $5.00. Cash.

ent rate or below, but above 500 miles 

 there would be a sharp increase. 



But one of the great disadvantages 

 comes in the extra labor necessary to 

 determine the zone and correct amount 

 of postage — a big job where an edi- 

 tion of a catalogue runs to 100,000 

 copies, as many now do. 



Every seedsman, nurseryman and flo- 

 rist should figure out at once just what 

 the application of the parcel post zone 

 rates would do to the postage on his 

 1914 book and write or wire a state- 

 ment to reach the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission, Washington, D. C, not 

 later than October 20. That's next 

 Monday. Don't delay. 



DXTTCH BULB SHIPMENTS. 



The first lot of Dutch bulbs to come 

 under the advanced duty on hyacinth 

 bulbs in the new tariff arrived on the 

 Rotterdam steamer at New York Octo- 

 ber 6. The Rotterdam boat that reached 

 New York the following day brought 

 an additional batch of consignments. 

 The combined consignments were as 

 follows :

BENT GRASSES GOING UP? 



According to A. Le Coq & Co., Darm- 

 stadt, "the crop of Agrostis stolo- 

 nifera (vulgaris) is a perfect failure 

 this year in America. Old stocks are 

 nearly exhausted and prices jumped to 

 an enormous height, which does not 

 yet seem to have reached the top. In 

 our country we shall probably have a 

 medium crop of the German agrostis, 

 which is so well liked, although some 

 lots are chaffy and require a good deal 

 of cleaning. In consequence of the 

 poor American crop, speculation has set 

 in and one may expect high prices for 

 this variety also." 



THE ORCHARD GRASS CROP. 



According to Conrad Appel, of Darm- 

 stadt, orchard grass, Dactylis glomerata, 

 "in all centers of production, America 

 excepted, has yielded quite a full crop 

 and, taking the average, prices are 

 lower. However, the rather brisk de- 

 mand on the part of the American buy- 

 ers has produced a certain increase; 

 the market is firm and a further ad-
