The Florists' Review 



Seftbmbeb 23, 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 mucD 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 all of 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 eliminat'S 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 an ■ si e 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 se-d. Do you wonder that our business grows and 

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



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

 Our original Silver Pink, $1.00 per pkt.: 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Velrose, Buxton. Garnet. 

 Yel'ow. White and mixed. ;J6c per pkt.; 3 for Jl.OO. All orders cash. Free cultural direc- 

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



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

 that you claim for It, and then some."

aSISWOLD CO. ASKS REFUND. 



In a complaint to the Interstate 

 Commerce Commission against the Colo- 

 rado & Southern and the Chicago, 

 Burlington & Quincy railroads, the 

 Griswold Seed Co., of Lincoln, Neb., 

 attacks the rates on sweet clover seed 

 from Wheatland, Wyo., to Lincoln. On 

 recent shipments the seed company was 

 charged at the rate of 80 cents per 

 hundred pounds, charges amounting in 

 all to $302. The complaint says this 

 rate is unreasonable, and that a fair 

 rate would be 60 cents. A refund of 

 $75 is asked. The company points out 

 that sweet clover is a member of the 

 alfalfa family, and contends that the 

 rate on alfalfa seed should apply to sweet 

 clover shipments. It is declared that 

 the Class A rate of 80 cents is unjust 

 and unreasonable, and that a reason- 

 able rate would be 60 cents, minimum 

 weight of 30,000 pounds, which is the 

 combination of the local rate based on 

 Cheyenne. E. H. P. 



MOTT-LY GLEANINOS. 



E. J. Sheep, of S. M. Isbell & Co., 

 Jackson, Mich., predicts a shortage of 

 beans and vine seeds. These promised 

 a fifty per cent yield previous to the 

 recent heavy rains, which started an- 

 thracnose in the beans. Samples show 

 it badly. Melons and cucumbers will 

 be scarce. The radish yield is the best 

 ever harvested. Two special types, a 

 Scarlet Globe and a Scarlet White Tip, 

 have been developed from Vilmorin's 

 strain, and show much improvement 

 and distinctiveness. 



According to a recent communication 

 from the J. H. Allan Seed Co., She- 

 boygan, Wis., the bean crop on a 1,600- 

 acre farm will not exceed a fifty per 

 cent basis. 



W. T. Phillips & Co., Toledo, 0., re- 

 port a full crop of clover and timothy 

 of high grade. A grand old patriarch 

 in market gardening happened in their 

 store during my visit. He owned up 

 to 75 years, and was a splendid type
