THE LATEST 



Within a very few years there has been a great advance in the popularity of antirrhinums, com- 

 monly known as snapdragons. Our original Silver Pink came on the scene at the start. We worked 

 it over and over, purifying its "blood," until we gave the world a most wonderfully productive seedling, 

 practically pure. Continuing to experiment, we reached a new ideal, and now announce the debut of 



SILVER OUEEN 



A MOST PLEASING 

 AND BEAUTIFUL... 



ORCHID-FLOWERED SNAPDRAGON 



Its color is that soft, silvery shell pink that has made 

 its parent, Silver Pink, so famous. The upper petals of 

 every bloom have an aristocratic orchid curl; it is from one- 

 third to one-half larger than any known type of antirrhi- 

 num, and makes a very heavy, compact head, of marvelous 

 grace and beauty. We doubt if it ever will be equaled as 

 a fancy variety, or exceeded by any variety, other than 

 Silver Pink Seedlings, as a commercial variety. It grows 

 medium tall and is very productive. 



We do not have space to propagate in great quantities, 



so will offer in advance our limited stock, delivered by 

 parcel post, at 



$1.00 per plant; six plants tor $5.00; 

 fifteen plants tor $10.00. 



We could give glowing words of praise from many 

 visiting florists and drummers who have admired this 

 wonderful snapdragon growing on our premises, but we 

 prefer, as with the introduction of Silver Pink, to give 

 you OUR word for it. Our reputation is back of it and 

 »you will find it just as represented. 



We should like every florist to try this marvelous newcomer. 

 Remember, the stock is limited. See our general ad on page 65.

Transportation. 



Chas. Sizemore, chairman of the 

 transportation committee, in consider- 

 ing the subject of the responsibility 

 for freight charges, ^stated that al- 

 though the ruling of the interstate com- 

 merce commission and of various courts 

 has been that if the carrier cannot col- 

 lect charges from the consignee it may 

 collect them from the shipper, if the 

 carrier indicates, by taking promissory 

 notes, opening an account, or similar 

 action, a purpose to rely upon the per- 

 sonal responsibility of the consignee, 

 it forfeits its right to collect later from 

 the consignor. The mooted question of 

 the prepayment of freight charges was 

 settled by Mr. Sizemore 's quotation of 

 a rule stating that only the shipper's 

 guarantee is necessary, not full prepay- 

 ment. Agitation of the question of 

 dunnage or preservative allowance was 

 considered by Mr. Sizemore as unwise, 

 inasmuch as it might result in the in- 

 crease of the carload minimum. The 

 committee is preparing to try for a 

 reversal of the change from fifth to 

 fourth class by the oflScial classification 

 committee, even if it is necessary to 

 accept a higher minimum to get the 

 old classification. As the change in 

 classification, which took effect June 

 1, means an increase of twenty-five 

 per cent or more, it is felt that the 

 fight for a return to the old rating is 

 worth the expenditure of much effort 

 on the part of nurserymen. 



E. A. Smith, fehairman of the com- 

 mittee on root gall, said that the work 

 of the committee was at present prin- 

 cipally confined to gathering informa- 

 tion on the subject. Experiments are 

 slow and results, while they will be
