HAMMOND'S GRAPE DUST 



MILDCW ON BOSKS, CARHATIONB. KTC. IT IS 8XMFLK AND KA8XLT APPLIXD. 



Staatsburgh, N. T., May 25th, 1908. 

 Mb. Hammond. Dear Sir. 



Kepl^iDR to your inquiries regarding Orape 

 Dust, would say tbat we use it solely on 

 Roses, Oamations and Chrysanthemums. As 

 a Fungicide we have not found anything to 

 equal it; it is simple and easily applied. We 

 close down the ventilators and till the house 

 with dust blown through the bellows; when 

 the dust has settled down we ventilate again, 



gutting on a little air as required. We have 

 een using your Grape Dust with good results 

 for the last 14 years. Tours truly, 



James Blaib.

Marlborough, N. Y., July 9, 1908. 

 Mr. Hammond. Dear Sir: 



Your letter asking our opinion of the qual- 

 ities of Grape Dust received. 



We have used Grape Dust on Carnations, 

 Chrysanthemums and Asters, and we find it 

 an excellent thing for keeping the plants in 

 a healthful condition. No greenhouse estab- 

 lishment should be without Grape Dust. We 

 find it O. K. Yours truly,

WAYSIDE NOTES. 



F. Zobel, of Albany, speaks highly of 

 the new Helianthus Cathcartii, which he 

 saw when visiting Germany last fall. 

 It is free flowering and its bright red 

 color makes it a valuable addition to 

 the herbaceous perennials. Mr. Zobel 

 expects to retire from business after the 

 spring sales are over, having interests on 

 the other side. He has a prospective 

 purchaser for his place. 



Fred A. Danker, of Albany, ex- 

 pected to be at the carnation convention 

 as a representative of the Florists' Club. 

 There was some talk of a large delega- 

 tion going, the club being in a flourish- 

 ing condition, but the busy work at the 

 capital prevented it. 



Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, N. Y., 

 says Golden Glow is a money-maker and 

 the best early yellow chrysanthemum 

 grown in the east. F. A. Danker had 

 a big run on this variety at Albany and 

 will grow a house for next season. Mr. 

 Goldring has a seedling carnation. Pros- 

 perity X Enchantress, that is fine. He 

 expected to have an exhibit at the con- 

 vention. 



T. J. Totten, of Saratoga Springs, N. 

 Y., says the demand for the last season 

 was very light, owing to the enforcing 

 of the Hughes law, but he believes that 

 the coming season will bring back pros- 

 perity. 



Henry Schrade, of Saratoga Springs, 

 had a fine lot of his seedling yellow car- 

 nation for exhibition at Indianapolis 

 and expected it would take high honors 

 in its class. 



A. J. Binley, of Glens Falls, N. Y., 

 has a choice strain of crimson primrose 

 as the result of years of careful selec- 

 tion. Blooming at Christmas, there is 

 a big sale for it. He has plans for re- 

 building part of the place after spring 

 business is over. 



H. L. Crandell, of Glens Falls, was 

 busy with a large order for a fiftieth 

 anniversary wedcfing decoration. As he 

 says, this occurrence being rather rare, 

 the job must be done right. 



J. C. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 is living the strenuous life, with two 

 stores and two glass establishments, all 

 in different locations, and is planning 

 concentration. George Hatcher was mak- 

 ing a beautiful floral wreath at the time 

 of my visit, composed of violets, cattleyaa 

 and valley. They do a large country 

 trade. 



A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, says busi- 

 ness was never better. He was packing 

 his grip for the convention. M.
