WORRY 



r--: 



L 



G. S. RAM8BURG, 



There possibly have been no tradesmen so severely affected as have florists 

 been by abnormal weather conditions this season. Incessant rain and tog have 

 played havoc with plants and blooms both indoors and out, and much stock has 

 spoiled by damping and rotting. 



Don't worry if you have lost your stock of snapdragon cuttings. You are 

 better off. You are just in time to get seedlings started, and seedling plants, 

 especially of our Silver Pink, are so far superior to cuttings as to make cuttings 

 a waste of time and space, especially where you would most likely have stunted, 

 hard-wooded stock. 



Seedlings start readily, grow so rapidly, and bloom so freely that they are 

 an absolute pleasure frcfax start to finish, to say nothing about the gre4t profit by 

 a long flowering season. Seeds sown in August will make fine, stocky plants to 

 follow 'mums. 



New stock seed of my original Silver Pink at $1.00 per pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. 

 Seed of Nelrose, Garnet, Yellow, White. Buxton and mixed, at 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. 



Splendid Beedllns plants ready as follows: Silver Pink, $4.00 per 100; $35.00 per 

 1000. Garnet and White same price. Nelrose and Yellow, $5.00 per 100. 



Remember, we grow snapdragon. Our stock is perfect. Free cultural directions. 

 All orders positively cash or C. 0. D,

offering it at less than the price of 

 cutting and shipping, especially roses 

 of- the Killarney type. 



Club Meeting. 

 Tlio regular meeting of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club was held August 

 9, President Hamilton occupying the 

 chair. The cool evening .brought out 

 a fair attendance. I. H. Moss spoke on 

 the recent trip to the western Mary- 

 land fruit belt, and moved that a vote 

 of thanks be tendered the Washington 

 County Fruit Growers' Association for 

 tlie enjoyable trip. The resolution was 

 adopted. The outing committee, 

 through Chairman F. C. Bauer, report- 

 ed everything in readiness for the an- 

 nual outing, to be lield August 18 at 

 Miller's park. The shore will be open 

 all day. Games will start promptly at 

 2 p. m. The grounds can be reached 

 by the Bay Shore line to Dundalk, 

 where a short line will c«nvey passen- 

 gers to the grounds. The Kiver View 

 cars connect with the short line at the 

 park terminal. Tickets will be 50 cents 

 for each member attending, but no 

 charge for members' families. 



Various Notes. 



A heavy rain storm, accompanied by 

 high winds, passed over the city on 

 the night of August 3 and played havoc 

 with outdoor crops, especially dahlias 

 and asters. In some instances these 

 were flattened down to the ground as 

 if a herd of cattle had roamed over 

 them. At the farms of R. Vincent, Jr., 

 & Sons Co., White Marsh, some parts 

 of the dahlia fields -were flooded and 

 many of the plants were washed out 

 entirely; others were practically 

 drowned. 



At !Mrs. Buettner's Store, at Third 

 and Fleet streets, a plate glass win- 

 dow was blown in by the storm. 



Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mason an- 

 nounce the marriage of their daughter, 

 Elizabeth, to .T. Ward Perry at the 

 home of the bride's parents, August 4. 

 They will be at home to their friends 

 at Park lane and Harford terrace after 

 August 10. 



Stevenson Bros, have planted a good 

 batch of Ophelia and Mrs. Chas. Rus- 

 sell and are cutting some good summer 

 blooms.

 at the S. A. F. convention will be Mr.
