THE BATTLE DAY.

Memorial is the battle day of the florist, when he is besieged on all sides, and by es cry 

 method of communication— a perfect rain of orders and customers. He then needs blossi.us, 

 and lots of them. He needs something that he can quickly serve to the thronging crowd; so^ie- 

 thing that will please customer and be profitable to seller. There is nothing that will beat sc d- 

 ling Silver Pink Snaps for this purpose. Have them in sight and they sell themselves. They re- 

 quire no "making up," are easy to pack, and your trouble is soon over. This talk doesn't cume 

 through our hat. but from actual experience. A crop of Snap blossoms at Memorial means n< ire 

 than we can tell you. Sow seed any time now. They will flower throughout spring and come 

 with a double header for the greatest of flower days— Memorial. Price of new crop seed, Sl.OD per 

 trade packet; :s for $2.50; 7 for $6.00. postpaid. Free cultural directions. 



If you want blossoms from Christmas on buy plants which are now ready. They are fi ne, 

 healthy stock, and the price is only $4.00 per 100; $:{5.00 per lOOO. Less than 100. £c each. Also 

 have plants of a good white at same price, an'l of Crimson Q«m. a stunning new one, at unly 

 $6.00. All orders cash. 



I also have fresh seed of Buxton's and Nelrose Snaps at :tSc per packet of several thousand 

 seeds; :t packets for $l.0<). Can furnish cuttings and plants of these varieties for later delivrry 

 at very low prices.

but even our national existence may be 

 involved, there will be a better spirit 

 among us than that of mere legalism. 



"It is absolutely necessary for the 

 good of every branch of our trade that 

 there should be some reasonable spirit 

 of give and take among us, and not too 

 much insistence on the actual letter of 

 the law, when such insistence would 

 entail hardship and injustice to anyone 

 concerned. 



"Our own view of the case is that in 

 those instances tehere there is merely a 

 rise in market value, the early buyer is 

 entitled to claim the result of his fore- 

 sight, but where the whole or a large 

 proportion of the stock of any seed is 

 grown on the continent and full de- 

 livery is manifestly impossible, due al- 

 lowance should be made, and a disposi- 

 tion shown to accept the best arrange- 

 ment which is possible under the circum- 

 stances. 



"It goes without ssaying that sellers 

 will do the utmost that lies in their 

 power in the interests of their custom- 

 ers, and we hope these will meet them 

 in a proper spirit. A large compensa- 

 tion for the terrible evils of war ia the 

 finer spirit of patriotism evoked and 

 the deepened feeling of brotherliness 

 and chari^ to all around us, and we 

 hope that this will not only be shown in 

 all public and national matters, but re- 

 flected also in all our private and busi- 

 ness concerns. ' '
