JULY AND AUGUST FOR DOLLARS 



Of course you will have a bench of snaps next winter. Some of us will have 

 three or four benches, as we haye learned where the profit is. It is no longer a 

 question whether we shall ask a big price and make few sales or a moderate 

 price and make more sales. The " high-price " man is losing ground. If you 

 grow some, you will have to get a big price for the few spikes they produce to 

 make your space pay, and thus you will be rated in the unpopular "high-price" class. Our 

 Silver Pink SEEDLINGS solve the problem. Producing three to five blooms more to 

 the plant than any other snapdragon m existence makes it both profitable and popular. 

 See recent ads for figures. 



Note the following postscript on a repeat order received today: "Your Silver Pink is 

 the best snapdragon I have ever had. My plants are the talk of the summer colony."— 

 F. M. Van Name, Fisher's Island, N. Y. \ 



For a long flowering season sow seed in JULY and AUGUST. New crop seed of my 

 original Silver Pink Snapdragon at $1.00 per pkt.; 8 for $2.60; 7 for $5.00. Seed of the fol- 

 lowing varieties: Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, White, Buxton, Mixed, 36c per pkt.; 8 for $1.00.

dumped out has exposed European 

 labels. No one seedsman has the bulge 

 on all the rest, as the most insignificant 

 may Inive the best tomato or sweet 

 pea, but it is not likely to be so, as 

 those other seedsmen of broader views 

 whose horizon is earthwide are, as a 

 rule, most likely to have the best 

 things, especially to have the most re- 

 liable all-around stocks. Certainly, 

 they are likely to have in their heads 

 a more valuable store of technical in- 

 formation. The old saw, 'Don't send 

 a boy to the mill,' applies in the seed 

 trade as well as in some other lines of 

 business. 



' * Where seed-growing and seed-selling 

 conditions are understood, they repre- 

 sent a greater degree of technical in- 

 formation than is represented in most 

 other lines of business, and, in addi- 

 tion, it is a business full of disappoint- 

 ments consequent upon failure of devel- 

 opment of perfect plants and after that 

 the failure of the plants to shoot to 

 seed or to perfect their seed, due to 

 influences of soil or climatic conditions. 

 There is no end to the disappointments 

 consequent upon too nj^ich moisture or 

 too little rain, too much heat or too 

 much cold, hail, insects, fungi, outdoor 

 circumstances beyond the control of 

 the seed seller, especially as with the 

 product of seed from esculent vege- 

 tables the seasons of risks from the 

 injurious, influences named as pertains 

 to the development of the perfect vege- 

 table aa. produced by the private or 

 market gardener are just doubled in 

 the case of seed production, for the 

 reason that only after the full growth 

 of the perfected vegetable follows an- 

 other or distinct era in the life of the 

 otherwise perfected vegetable — a period 

 still more critical because after reach- 

 ing its full growth the vigor of the 

 plant is weakened and it is still more 

 likely Co be injuriously influenced by 

 both natural and unnatural causes — all 

 resulting in diminished seed harvest 

 and inability to fill orders."

The Cream of American and European Pansies in 



Consolidation Nanunoth Nixture 



It contains the most basntifal and rare shades of the Pansy Universe; the 

 blooms are enormous in size, botne on stems consistently long; they have 

 been grown and reselected until now they show a most remarkable hardi- 

 ness by withstanding the cold weather of the north, with little or no 

 protection, and even showing blooms many times during the winter. On 

 account of an unusually large crop we are able to make this unusually 

 low price. 



1 OS., $3.00; 2 OZ8., $6.60; ^4 lb., $10.00 



NOTE— One ounce of Consolidation Mixture will produce easily 20,000 plants, and 

 figuring an extremely low price of Ic each in the spring, you have a profit of $197 00 

 on just one ounce; enough seed for 80.000 plants costs you only $10.00; if you wish to 

 sell, say one-half your plants this fall at about $3.00 per 1000- a Review ad will do 

 the work— leaving you a nice little profit and with $400.00 worth of plants for spring 

 sales. Does this look attractive?
