FOR SUMMER CROPS. 



We are regular readers of William 

 Scott's notes and have been nuu-li jirof- 

 itcd by liis advice in the past and hope 

 that lie may bo able to advise us now. 

 W'f are situated about 100 miles from 

 our market and wish to know whether 

 vc could profitably raise outdoor sum- 

 jiier-blooming flowers and bull»s, as we 

 have no local trade during the summer, 

 ;iii(l ship them that far, and if so we 

 ^vould be pleased to have him give us a 

 list of plants and bulbs that would do 

 Tor such a trade. J. W. ;M. 



As you ship 100 miles, the outdoor 

 -tuff you grow should be something your 

 market would take in considerable quan- 

 tities. There are several things that 

 von could grow tliat are wanted in every 

 Jar^e city. The herbaceous iioonies 



-lioiiM be largely grown. They are al- 

 ,\ays in demand. See that yoii start 

 with tlie finest varieties. White and 

 light pink varieties arc the favorites. 

 Don 't bother with phlox. There is no 

 finer lierbaceous plant, but it does not 

 travel well and would not sell. Then 

 there are the dahlias. A demand for the 

 flowers of these has been growing yearly, 

 until now they are largely grown. The 

 dahlias sold in our city last fall came 

 from Philadelphia and New Jersey, over 

 •100 miles. The gladioli are wanted 

 everywhere and travel well, and your 

 stock is continually increasing. It is 

 true there are immense areas of gladioli 

 grown in different parts of the country, 

 but good spikes of distinct colors are 

 never wasted. Start in with the best 

 and most distinct varieties. There is 

 also a sale for asters and I know several 

 men who make a specialty of asters and 

 make money from them. The market for 

 fine asters is limitless, as you can ship 

 them a thousand miles. Sweet peas are 

 likely to sell very cheaply during the 

 lirst week or two of outdoor picking, 

 lint if by cultivation and water yuu can 

 k-eep yuuv i-rop going into August you 



an yel a L;ood |uiee for your flowers.
