Well Selected Stock—Reasonable Prices—Fair Treatment 



Florists' Supplies — A Complete Line 



Having such a large line of Cut Flower buyers who have repeatedly asked us to furnish them 

 with Florists' Supplies, we have decided to open up January 1, 1906, a Florists' Supply Department with 

 a complete line of all kinds of Florists' Supplies. This department will be in charge of the most compe- 

 tent and experienced help. Our floor space will be the largest in the west. Our stock will all be new 

 and personally selected by a manager of years of experience in the Florists' Supply business. We will 

 pay cash and sell for cash, thus giving you all the advantages of such transactions. We are confident 

 we can save you money, supply you with new, clean goods, if you will hold your orders for our January 

 opening in the Florists' Supply business.

FORCING SWEET PEAS. 



I should be glad to have some informa- 

 tion as to the time of sowing and meth- 

 ods of culture for sweet peas under glass. 



J. N. S. 



Sweet peas for winter blooming should 

 be sown early in September, either in 

 small pots or in the bench, where they 

 are to remain. They ought to have at 

 least five inches of good fibrous loam, 

 composted during the summer. This 

 compost should consist of five parts loam 

 to one of decomposed manure and should 

 be thoroughly incorporated. 



By sowing the seeds in 3-inch pots they 

 can be grown for some weeks and then 

 transplanted into the flowering bench. 

 This may save throwing out a crop to 

 make room earlier in the season. Night 

 temperature should not exceed 55 de- 

 grees; day temperature can run as high 

 as 75 degrees during bright weather. 



After the plants have attained a good 

 size, and while they are making buds, a 

 weekly application of weak manure water 

 will greatly benefit them. E.
