of the country reports are the same, showing that my Sasdllnv Silver Pink Snapdragon stands 

 alone for beauty and productiveness. A steady flow of repeat orders furnishes complete proof. 



G. S. Ramsburg. Somersworth. Tacoma. Wash.. May 23. 1914. 



Dear Sir: Enclosed find $1.03, for which please send a packet of seed of your 

 Silver Pink Snapdragon. Thay ar* cartalnly caod.

 dragon? The plants that I got from you last fall have dana fina. 

 • Yours very truly, Thos. Barson. 



Mr. G. S. Ramsburg. Somersworth. N. H. Springfield. Mo.. May 8. 1914. 



Dear Sir: We inclose our check for $5.00 for seven pkts. of seed of Silver Pink. 

 We are doing fine with it and have grown some splendid blossoms, which are a grand 

 color and great seller with us. This is our first trial, and we are pleased. 



Very truly, Raugh Bros, 



Order seeds at once for fall blossoms. Too early to sow for winter. Price of new crop seed, 

 $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2,50; 7 for $5 00. Cash. We have a few plants out of small pots at $3.00; 

 out of 3*a-inch pots, $8.00,

York city, for the purpose of going 

 the average Holland house one better 

 — the average Holland exporter being 

 thus far content to sell florists and 

 the larger private estates, the Eiland 

 concern proposes also to cut the seed 

 stores and florists out of the business 

 of even the smallest buyers. There 

 doubtless is no reason why these or 

 other bulb growers should not sell 

 direct to the planter in this country 

 if they conceive it to be profitable, but 

 there seems an extremely good reason 

 why they should not receive the orders 

 either of seedsmen or florists. 



CATALOQUES KECEIVED.

 prown Roses for Immediate Planting," a trndo 

 list of "the best of the old roses and a few newer

ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The Market. 



June has started well and brisk busi- 

 ness is reported by all. The weather 

 has been ideal and has favored trade 

 wonderfully. There have been numer- 

 ous weddings, and orders are being 

 placed ahead for large affairs. Social 

 functions have kept about everybody 

 busy and smaller parties have made 

 calls for lots of cut flowers and bou- 

 quets. Commencements and gradua- 

 tions are in full swing here and have 

 added greatly to the total of business. 

 This should be the busy month. The 

 cut flower stock has been good, on the 

 average. The majority of flowers are 

 well up in quality, but some are poor 

 and would be best left out of the mar-

Pearson's Improved 



nia Prima Donna 



(My own raising)

 tion, bright, glossy foliage, with a profusion of 

 bright pink flowers, at their best in winter; flowers

 now for Xmas blooms. Liberal trade pkt., 25c; 5 

 ^ for $1.00; 1/64-oz., $1,50.

THERE IS GOOD MONEY 

 IN FORCING 



CYCAS STEMS 



A good stem weighing 6 pounds costs 42c, and should produce 

 a plant with twelve to fifteen leaves, selling wholesale at 10c per leaf, 

 and retail at 15c per leaf. In two sizes, 2 to 5 lb. stems, and 4 to 8 

 lb. stems. I have found the larger ones more profitable. 



Price, per lb., 10c; per 100 lbs., $8.00 

 Per case of about 300 lbs., 7c per lb.
