MARCH! 



A much used word at present, sometimes meaning victory and as 

 often meaning defeat. We would apply It to profit and "hit up" a 

 continuous march throughout the whole of the old, blowy month 

 now with us. Decide upon making some extra money this spring 

 and BuEamer on snapdragon and begin sowing seed at once. ' Our 

 Silver Pink will come first, and if you want the other colors we 

 have them. But Silver Pink is the one for show and profit. It is 

 not a mite dwarf and every one of the dozens of flower spikes pro- 

 duced will be of salable length. Messrs. .Tagger & Halsey, of West- 

 hainpton, N. Y., say that it Is the heaviest producer of cut flowers 

 out of doors, and' the best seller they have seen. This is the story 

 of all who have tried it. |Get ready for a winning march. 



I'rice of seed of my original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt. ; 3 for 

 ?2.50; 7 for $5.00. 



We still have at sacrifice prices a few good plants that will crop 

 for Memorial. Silver Pink seedlings, $3.00 per 100 ; 200 for $5.00 ; 

 $25.00 per 1,000. Yellow, Garnet, and Nelrose, $4.00 per 100; 300 

 for $10.00. 



All orders cash. Free directions. Make up your order, remember- 

 ing that we grow snapdragons, not only in March, but every other 

 month of the year.

Last week opened with springlike 

 weather, most welcome to the growers, 

 but March came in like a lion. Busi- 

 ness among the retailers, however, has 

 been quite good. 



George Goldbach had a pretty win- 

 dow display of daffodils, which he 

 grows extensively. 



H. A. Schroyer's display of bulbous 

 stock in pans and boxes was of extra 

 fine quality. 



B. F. Barr & Co. had an unusually 

 attractive window decoration last week. 

 It consisted of calendulas and showed 

 many dainty and novel methods of ar- 

 ranging these old-fashioned annuals for 

 home use. 



We regret to record the death of 

 Mrs. M. E. Hammond, mother of Wal- 

 ter A. Hammond. 



The decorations for the banquet 

 given by the Young Republicans at 

 the Stevens House, in honor of Governor 

 Brumbaugh and our fellow townsman, 

 Lieutenant Governor Frank McClain, 

 were furnished by B. F, Barr & Co. 

 and H. A. Schoryer. 



There was an elaborate display of 

 flowers at the funeral of W. U. Hensel, 

 former attorney-general of Pennsyl- 

 vania. All the florists in the city had 

 a share of the orders. 



Mr, McUttley, of Harrisburg, Pa., 

 was a visitor this week. 



We trust no one interested in the 

 florists' business will fail to attend the 

 next meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 March 18. Charles H. Grakelow, of 

 Philadelphia, will give an address on 

 "Are You Ready t" Those who have 

 previously heard Mr. Grakelow know 

 what a treat there is in store for those 

 who attend. H. K. R. 



Shenandoah, la. — The new store 

 building, with the greenhouses in the 

 rear, of the Shenandoah Greenhouses is 

 nearly completed. O. B. Stevens says 

 that he expects to occupy it in time 

 to handle the Easter trade there. The 

 additional glass doubles the area of 

 the firm, and the store offers more com- 

 modious and convenient quarters than 

 the present place. St. Valentine's day 

 trade was good.
