SWEET PEA SEED 



Obristmu Pink and Florence Denzer (pare 

 white), are now ready. These two 

 well-known varietieB are raised by over 2,0M 

 florists all over the world. Here is one of 

 many letters I received: 



DxAB Sib: My Sweet Peas, which I raised 

 from your seed, received the HIQHK8T 

 AWARD at Boston, by the Carnation Ex- 

 hibit, being over 18 inches long:. 



JOHN T. OALE, Tewksbury, Mass.

NEW Christmas flowering Hybrids, 20 to 

 30 colors, mostly blue, salmon, purple, laven- 

 der, in mixture. 



Mrs. Edle Wild, carmine 1 trade pkt., f 1.00; 

 6 trade pkts., $4.00. No order for more than 

 5 pkts. taken from each customer just now. 



These new Hybrids are just as free bloom- 

 ers as Christmas Pink and Florence Denser, 

 some much larger, and received first-class

THE CONVENTION. 



[Paper read by George C. Watson before the 

 Florlsta' Club of Philadelphia, September 4, 

 1906.] 



Many a man has dug a cavity for the 

 other fellow and fallen into the hole 

 himself. Your committee on subjects 

 last month assigned one to a seedsman, 

 whose duty it was to report on the 

 convention. Unfortunately for the com- 

 mittee, there were no Philadelphia seeds- 

 men at the convention big enough for 

 this job. J. Otto Thilow, of Dreer's, 

 had intended to go, and had promised to 

 make an address, but his plans had to 

 be changed at the last minute. So you 

 see the cavity! Somebody had to fill 

 it! The rest of the committee insisted 

 on my jumping in, and that must be my 

 excuse for attempting — even in a remote 

 way — to fill up this hole. I approach 

 the subject with a meekness exceeding 

 the meekness of Moses, and am very 

 sorry we do not have the unhackneyed 

 and original views of Mr. Thilow instead
