TKc Florists' Review 



93 



QUALITY IN ASTER SEED 



To the Members and Friends 

 of the S. A. F.: 



Tbe quality of seed you buy is of utmost importance 

 to you. Your most careful cultivation, your liberal appli- 

 cation of fertilizer and your diligent attention to details 

 will never produce a good crop from poor seed. 



It takes time and thought and much hard work to 

 produce tbe best results in any line, and in no business is 

 the general public more deceived than in the buying of 

 various seeds. 



The poor quality of asters produced from seed sent us 

 from time to time has caused us to take up the work of 

 aster seed growing as a protection against crop failures ; 

 and, as a result, the H. & F. Quality Asters have become 

 well known to all the leading florists of the Pacific north- 

 west as first-grade stock. 



Owing to the location of our plant, only a small per- 

 centage of the traveling public see our fine fields of asters 

 and are therefore not in position to accept the facts so 

 readily as one visiting the place and seeing actual results. 

 However, many satisfied users of this seed have done us 

 tbe kindness to write concerning their unusual success, 

 and we feel sure the seed we oflFer will make friends for 

 us of a large populace in the near future. 



Trusting that you may have the confidence to at least 

 test the H. & F. Quality Aster Seed next year, 



■WB ask that you kindly send us your 

 name and address, so tliat w^e can mail 

 you our new circular as soon as ready.

South Seattle, Wash. — Chris Jochim- 

 sen, manager of the Eainier Floral Co., 

 is frequently reminded that troubles 

 never come singly. Recently fifteen 

 tons of dynamite exploded near his 

 greenhouses and the way tho, glass 

 crashed equaled the effect of the heav- 

 iest hail. Then, returning from a visit 

 to Spokane to attend a convention of 

 the Eagles, Mr. Jochimsen found bis 

 garage had been broken open, the ma- 

 chine had been taken out and run 

 against a telegraph pole, putting it in 

 a condition where the best offer for it 

 was $2,').
