 Snapdragon Seedlings, but it appears itiat we have not said half enough. Bead 

 this enthusiastLC report and profit by it:

 WONDERFULi Silver Pink Snapdragon. Ttaey are Brand. Tour ads. don t do

Yours respectfully, 



Hammerscbmldt tc Clark. 



If you want the best there is in snapdragons and would begin at the right time, order 

 seed today and sow at once The month of August is the correct season to sow seed for 

 all winter flowering. Our Silver Pink is the leader and seedlings of it will give three to 

 five blooms to one of any other variety in existence. Cuttings will be a disappointment 

 and waste of time. Buy seed today and sow now. 



New crop seed of our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Seed 

 of Nelrose. Buxton, Garnet, Yellow, White and mixed, !i6c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00.

 $36.00 per 1000. Good plants of Nelrose at $5.U0 per 100. Other colors ready shortly.

 directions.

"What is the cause of my celery being 

 affected by rustf My garden is on a 

 hillside, high and dry and away from 

 any body of water. We have the best 

 of soil. We had none of this trouble 

 until last year. The plants grow to a 

 nice size before being affected. In a 

 garden about 100 yards away, on the 

 opposite slope of the hill, celery is 

 grown from my seeds and there is no 

 sign of rust on it. The soil is a little 

 different from mine. Do you think the 

 soil would be the cause of the trouble? 

 I have sprayed it with Bordeaux mix- 

 ture and Pyrox, but these do not seem 

 to check it. A. M.— Fa. 



It is not easy to tell what causes rust 

 or blight on celery. It may be due to 

 some check the plants have had, which 

 makes them more easily fall a prey to 

 it than plants which have been kept 

 growing along steadily. Or it may be 

 due to a deficiency in moisture, or, more 

 probably, to some peculiar climatic 

 condition. Some varieties, like Boston 

 Market and Giant Pascal, are much 

 more subject to disease than Paris 

 Golden and White Plume, but none is 

 immune from its attacks. I have found 

 its attacks most virulent in a dry sea- 

 son. 



Pyrox is an excellent poison and 

 fungicide combined, but the poison 

 would be of no benefit in combating 

 rust. Bordeaux mixture or Fungine are 

 reliable. It is, of course, better to 

 start using one of these before any 

 rust appears, acting on the idea that 

 prevention is better than cure. How- 

 ever, since you have the rust, do not 

 get discouraged. Keep on spraying, do- 

 ing it when the plants are perfectly dry 

 and the sun hot, rather than in the 

 evening. Do this once in five or six 

 days for the_ next two months, and if 

 heavy rains intervene, apply more fre- 

 quently. C. W.
