The Best in 

 the Market 



The Crego Aster 



With its enormous bloesoms, long stems and vigorous, healthy plants, this Aster is becoming more valuable to 

 the florist from year to year, and its remarkable success is due to the fact that it has bad the benefit of twelve years 

 of the most rigid and painstaking selection, every effort having been directed toward developing its commercial 

 qualities— toward making it a money-maker for every florist who bandies it. Growing no other seed of any kind, I 

 am able to give this the closest possible attention. 



This Aster has proved itself to be exactly what every florist needs ; an aster which finds instant favor with his 

 customers, for whicbthey are willing to pay the highest price, and which gives him the highest return for his time and 

 labor. It costs the grower no more to produce flowers of that grade than to grow the common run of asters which 

 sell for bat little more than enough to pay express charges. 



If you are interested in getting the highest possible returns from your aster crop next summer, I shall be 

 pleased to hear from you at an early date. 



I have plenty of white and shell pink, but the supply of rose pink is already very low. Orders for that shade 

 should be sent at once. 



Prices for this season : Trade packet, $1.00; half-ounce, $].50; ounce, $6.00. A substantial reduction from last year.

 will be one large store, to be occupied by 

 the owners. On the upper floors there 

 will be thirty suites. The upper part of 

 the building will be used as an annex to 

 the Golden West hotel. The store will 

 have a marble front, with large plate 

 glass windows and with copper trim- 

 mings. On the front facade there will 

 be a flower balcony, in which choice 

 flowers will be grown. This balcony will 

 adjoin a gallery in the flower store. The 

 gallery will be on the mezzanine floor. 



CAMELLIAS IN CALIFORNIA. 



Among the most satisfactory of our 

 hardy flowering shrubs, the camellia eas- 

 ily takes first place. Until a few years 

 ai,'0 most people looked on this plant as 

 only suitable for growing under glass or 

 ^hen kept in a pot. But it has been 

 ; iiply demonstrated that it will grow 

 '"iich more luxuriantly and flower more 

 I ■ of usely when planted in the open. All 

 * at is required is a fairly heavy soil, 

 k od drainage and an abundance of 

 ' iter. The last proposition is the most 

 '. portant one to the entire camellia fam- 

 Rich soil will add greatly to the 

 ■> ,'or and beauty of the shrub, but an ex- 

 ' >s of moisture can hardly be given. 



Another erroneous impression is that 

 ' "^ camellia is fond of shade. Although 

 ' - foliage may assume a darker and 

 I >re glossy luster when given partial 

 ' ht only, it will make a nauch more com-
