The Florists' Review 



May 27, 1915. 



WE REJOICE 



With the lucky florist who has a bench of my famous Silver Pink Snapdragon Seed- 

 lings at his command for Memorial Day. We have a great show and have had many 

 words of praise and congratulations from visiting florists and from retail customers. 

 Though we shall cut armfuls of S. P. blooms we will not have enough, and have turned 

 away many inquiries at wholesale. 



Four other leading varieties that have cropped at their regular season will give 

 practically no yield for this important flower day— a fact tnat is greatly advancing the 

 popularity of our Silver Pinl^ Seedlings, which can be so timed as to get blooms when 

 you need them. 



Now is the time to sow seed for fall crop. Stop hustling long enough to send your 

 order. Price of seed of our original Silver Pink, $1,(X) per pkt.; 3 for $-2.50; 7 for $6.00. 

 Seedling plants of same, at $4 00 per 100; $35.00 per 1000. Plants of Nelrose, Garnet and 

 Yellow, at $5.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1000. 



Remember, we grow snapdragons, and can supply your every need.

peas for seed are doing well, and just 

 starting to bloom. Lettuce planting in 

 some quarters has been delayed, though 

 many growers have their crop coming on 

 nicely. 



SAN FRANCISCO CONVENTION. 



Details of A. S. T. A. Meeting. 



Special train via Santa Fe road to 

 Grand Canyon, Los Angeles and San 

 Diego leaves Chicago 8:05 p. m., June 

 12. It is necessary that all those in- 

 tending to take this train write at 

 once to S. F. Leonard, 226 West Kinzie 

 street, Chicago. Friends of members 

 are invited to take this train. This will 

 be a fine trip, and members are urged 

 to make every effort to make the spe- 

 cial train a possibility. 



The side trip to San Diego may be 

 omitted if desired. Those requiring 

 hotel accommodations in Los Angeles 

 should write at once to M. L. Germain, 

 c/o Germain Seed & Plant Co., Los 

 Angeles. 



It may be necessary to alter the trip 

 from Los Angeles up the coast to San 

 Francisco. Should there he 125 tickets 

 assured, we can have a special train up 

 the coast, which will make side trips 

 a possibility; otherwise it will be im- 

 possible to make more than one or two 

 stops. 



Our arrangements with the Inside Inn 

 necessitate visitors arriving either Sat- 

 urday night, June 19, or Sunday morn- 

 ing, June 20. Reservations at the Inside 

 Inn can be made by writing direct to 

 the Inside Inn, Exposition Grounds, San 

 Francisco. Rates are: 



Ontstde rooms, without bath, single, $2.50, $3; 

 doQble, $3, $3.50, $4. 



Outside rooms, with bath, single, $3, $4, $5: 

 double, $4, $5, $7. 



Friday and Saturday, June 25 and 26, 

 the members and their families will be 

 the guests of the local seed growers, 

 who will bear all of the expense con- 

 nected with railway fares, entertain- 

 ment over night at Hotel Vendome, 

 lunches, automobile trips and barbecue 

 at San Juan. 



This will be the first time the Amer- 

 ican Seed Trade Association has met 

 west of Chicago, and it will probably be 

 many years before the members will 

 come out to California again. 



We are planning to give our friends 

 a good time and hope we will have a 

 good attendance. 



Lester L. Morse, Pres.
