An Open Le 



Believing that we can render material assistance in our instructive cam- 

 paign in the upbuilding and maintaining of soil fertility, this company is giving 

 time and money endeavoring to further the interest of the grower under glass. 



tV^ith thai} in view, we have employed practical greenhousemen in our 

 research department, in our laboratory department and in the handling of our , 

 correspondence pertaining to questions arising on soil requirements and plant 

 foods. . '*• . 



In this work we of course expect the trade to take sufficient interest to co- 

 operate with us in our efforts and to correspond with us on matters pertaining 

 to their growing products so that we will be able to issue bulletins of practical 

 and profitable results as obtained by the uses of commercial manures. 



In this way we give general publicity to what is being accomplished Hy the*'- 

 intelligent knowledge of the uses of commercial manures. Our main object is 

 to demonstrate the practicability of making up soil fertility during the growing 

 season through the addition of fertilizers or commercial manures as the season 

 progresses and thereby increase the number of flowering crops as well as the 

 quality of the flowers. 



In connection with this work we are taking into consideration the uses of 

 stable manures and legumes, supplemented by ^ commercial manures that carry 

 nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, and also the scientific uses of floricultural 

 lime to meet the particular needs of greenhouse soils. 



This work is under the direction of tne who has had practical management 

 of one of the leading greenhouse establishments in the United States, and has 

 surrounded himself with graduates of the Floricultural course of the University 

 of Illinois and University of Massachusetts, also three leading growers who have 

 held responsible positions with large greenhouse establishments, and, who are well 

 versed in the practical uses of commercial luanures as practiced at this time 

 among^the most successful greenhouse establishments. 



All in all, this company is supported by men who have had wide experience 

 in your problems. 



Your inquiries are invited. i
