TO THE TRADE 



LesB than four years ago I built two 

 email greenhouses, as a venture into the 

 florists' world. My twelve greenhouses, 

 located at my home in New Cumberland, 

 Pa., the two stores in Harrisburg, Pa., 

 one at 35 North Second St. , the other at 

 1108 Market St., and the store at 169 

 South St., Steelton, Pa., are proof to me 

 that the key to success is carefully look- 

 ing after the wants of one's patrons, by 

 giving both wholesaler and retailer only 

 the best that can be grown and never 

 allowing anyone to be dissatisfied. 



Having recentlv added seed depart- 

 ments to each of my stores, I am now 

 in shape to take care of my trade in the 

 most satisfactory manner and promise 

 to give the same careful attention to all 

 in the future as in the past. 



With thanks for past patronage, I am, 

 for pleasure and profit, 



very truly yours, 

 JOHN A. KEPNER, 

 P. 0. Box 3. Harriabnrg, Pa.

The old way, and in many respects a 

 good one, was to plunge the pots in the 

 earth in rows and leave about an inch 

 of the top of the pot exposed above the 

 surface. While this is an easy way and 

 is probably more natural for the stock 

 itself, it entails a great deal of work 

 and is hard on the pots themselves. For 

 such kinds of deciduous or evergreen 

 stock as are not of very fast growth 

 and do not make an excess of roots it 

 does very well, and the stock need not 

 be shifted during the entire season. But 

 where the rule is to grow strong, both 

 above and below the soil, it is a much 

 better idea to keep such articles on the 

 surface of the ground, in a frame, and 

 with a heavy mulching of manure on 

 top. This acts both as an aid to moist- 

 ure and as an enrichment to the soil, and 

 is an ideal way to grow such stock. 



If the staking, pruning and shifting 

 are watched carefully enough, it is sur- 

 prising what growths can be had in small 

 si2ed pots, and these can in turn be han- 

 dled at any time, with no danger of 

 dying. Many plants will, in addition, 

 root freely in the mulching and an extra 

 fine lot of roots is thus assured. 



The greatest saving, however, is in the 

 watering, and where once a day is the 

 imperative rule in the middle of summer, 

 it becomes only twice a week with suf- 

 ficient mulching. This can be appre- 

 ciated doubly when the grower has to 

 depend on a town water supply for his 

 source. 



Lath houses, provided the stock is not 

 crowded too closely, are a splendid ad- 

 junct in the handling of hardy stock and 

 have a natural tendency to encourage 

 plants to climb upward. » They lessen 

 the necessity for watering considerably.
