PREPARATION 



We may widely differ as to the methods of preparation for a certain thing but 

 surely we must all agree that a strong state of preparedness must exist if we 

 would accomplish anything. By reading the daily press you can see what big thints 

 can haopen when we are prepared. Whether it is making war or growing flowers the succesff;! 

 principles are the same. We must prepare early and well to reap a full measure of reward. Sow 

 seed of my original Silver Pink Snapdragon at once for spring blossoms and a bumper Memori:tl 

 crop. Remember that Memorial is the biggest flower day of the whole year. We can't get enoui b 

 stock then and when your people get a taste of S. P. Snaps you won't have enough. The blossoms 

 are beautiful and sell themselves. Betttr order seed today. We have new crop at Sl.OO per pkt,- 

 8 for S2.S0; 7 for $5.00, postpaid. 



You can let your plant orders come. We will begin shipping September 14. and will fill u]\ 

 orders as rapidly as we can pack them. Plenty of stocky, branched plants at only $4.00 per loO; 

 $35.00 per 1000. Less than 100, 5c each. Free cultural directions; all orders cash.

better to protect his orders rather than 

 sacrifice his surplus just now. 



The result has been that the cut 

 prices have, in most instances, been 

 withdrawn. There still are plenty of 

 bulbs to be had at some concession, 

 but the popular sorts are being held 

 quite firmly, considering the circum- 

 stances, and it seems likely that the fall 

 trade in the United States will be 

 done much as usual.

IN OALIFOBIilA. 



It is developing from day to day, as 

 the seed is reaching the bags, that crop 

 estimates just previous to harvest time 

 in the San Juan valley were in most 

 instances too high. This is particularly 

 true of lettuce. Furthermore, condi- 

 tions vary so much with each grower 

 that one would not care to oflEer a gen- 

 eral opinion except as stated above in 

 (regard to lettuce, which is generally 

 conceded among the growers to be fall- 

 ing down. 



California seed growers have had only 

 brief information from their foreign 

 representatives, from which they de- 

 duce that credits will be entirely upset 

 in Germany and France and that it 

 will be out of the question to expect 

 any export or import business into 

 those countries for at least six months 

 to come. 



Inquiries go to point that an in- 

 creased demand has set in for Califor- 

 nia grown radish, carrot and such other 

 items as Europe regularly supplies to 

 the American trade in large quantities. 

 With a limited acreage planted this 

 year, and with crop yields apparently 

 less than average, it would seem that 

 California growers will unquestionably 

 find themselves short of the demand 

 that mast of necessity result from the 

 demands created by failure to receive 

 delivery from European sources. 



ANOTHES PUBE SEED BILL. 



Representative Cullop, of Indiana, has 

 introduced in the House of Representa- 

 tives a bill to make it unlawful to 

 ship in commerce between the states 

 any grain or seed for the purposes of 

 sale or barter for use in agriculture 

 which is falsely labeled or branded or 

 falsely represented, and to fix a pen- 

 alty therefor. The bill makes it un- 

 lawful for any firm, person, corpora- 

 tion or association of individuals to 

 ship, mail or otherwise convey in com- 

 merce between the states for the pur- 

 poses of sale or barter any seed or grain
