The Florists' Review 



Septbmbbb 16, 1915. 





YOUR OWN SNAPDRAGON 



seedlings can be grown at small cost. Allow 76 days to have them ready to bench. By 

 growing your own plants you not only save mucb expense but have them at hand, undis- 

 turbed and growing, when needed'. It very often happens that weather conditions are 

 not right for shipping plants and much loss is incurred in this way. Growing your 

 own plants solves allof these problems.- A few packets of seed will give you your stock 

 and some for neighbors. 



We specialize in Snapdragon and are sticklers for quality. All of our seed is pro- 

 duced under glass, only one variety in each separate house, which eliminates any possi- 

 ble chance of mixing varieties by wind or insect. Pure seed means a liberal expenditure 

 of brains and labor. Our personal time is given. Only a few strong shoots on each plant 

 are permitted to flower. Each seed pod must be perfect in form and size and ripen uni- 

 formly from bottom of stem up. All others are thrown out. This is but an inkling of the 

 various details that make for our pure seed. Do you wonder that our business grows and 

 that we have repeat orders for the fifth time from hundreds of customers? 



Grow your owa plants and sow seed now to follow Mums. Pure, fresh seed as follows: 

 Our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.60; 7 for $5.00. Melrose, Buxton, Garnet, 

 Yellow, White und mixed. 35c per pkt.; 3 for $1.00. All orders cash. Free cultural direc- 

 tions. Seedling plants of Nelrose and White ready now at $5.00 per 100. 



Miss S. £. Boyden, Holden, Mass., today says: 

 that you claim for it, and then some."

MOTT-LY GLEANINGS. 



Manager L. H. Manley, of the Har- 

 vey Seed Co., Buffalo, reports that 

 owing to the wet weather around Leroy 

 and in Wyoming county the bean crop 

 will be greatly reduced, many acres 

 having been turned under and sown to 

 wheat. Navy and kidney varieties are 

 principally grown. 



Jas. Vick's Sons, Eochester, N. Y., 

 have the usual acreage devoted to as- 

 ters, and hope to secure a heavy crop 

 of seed.

 quickly as it rose. Much damage was
