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 summer 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 »)f salable length. Messrs. .Tagger & Halsey, of West- 

 hampton, 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. 



Price 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.

exact cash payment for their seeds 

 when delivering them; manure, mate- 

 rials, produce, drugs, provisions, etc., 

 are to be had only against ready money. 

 "It is to be wished that our friends 

 and allies may take a sympathetic view 

 of the French seed growers' difficul- 

 ties and may help and enable them to 

 fulfill their contracts and to execute 

 seed orders by prepayment, viz., by 

 sending money when ordering seed or 

 by postoffice money order on receipt of 

 the goods." 



CLOVEE SEED AS MONEY CROP. 



The high price of hay throughout 

 the crimson-clover section, combined 

 with the somewhat unsatisfactory yields 

 of commercial seed which have been se- 

 cured lately, has resulted in a material 

 reduction of the quantity of crimson 

 clover left for seed in Delaware and 

 Maryland, Avhere most of the commer- 

 cial seed grown in this country is pro- 

 duced. In former years, when seven, 

 eight or even ten bushels were not un- 

 common yields, the raising of the seed 

 was decidedly profitable, especially 

 when hay was selling for only $10 to 

 $15 a ton. During recent years, how- 

 ever, with the hay at $20 to $25 a ton 

 and seed yields ranging from three to 

 five bushels per acre, it has been con- 

 sidered more profitable to raise the crop 

 for hay than to let the stand remain 

 for seed. With one and one-half and 

 two tons of good hay as a practical cer- 

 tainty, it requires a yield of five to six 

 bushels of seed per acre to represent an 

 equal money value, according to J. M. 

 Westgate, agronomist in the U, S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture.
