MELODY 



In selling this rose early in the season we did not recommend it as 

 a summer bloomer, our feeling being that it was an unusually good 

 winter forcer. Now after a month or more of hot weather we find it a 

 splendid summer rose, holding its color and form in fine shape. As a 

 cut flower it has been and is selling extra well and at present we are 

 often unable to take care of all orders that come in to us. Unquestion- 

 ably we recommend it as the very finest yellow rose and one of the 

 best money makers on the market. For a grower retailing his own cut 

 flowers it hasn't an equal in the rose line today. 



Own root plants, 2X-inch pots, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000. 



DOUBLE PINK KILLARNEY. It has no equal commercially. Own root, 2%-inch, $20.00 

 per 100; $150.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2X-inch, $30.00 per 100; $250.00 per 1000. 



PRINCE DE BULGARIE. Entirely different from any rose grown. Own root, 2X-inch, $15.00 

 per 100; $120.00 per 1000. Grafted, 2X-inch, $20.00 per 100; $180.00 per 1000.

 what it is on the eastern seaboard, that 

 each shall respect the other's district. 

 For instance, W. N. Craig will call J. 

 Austin Shaw up on the long distance 

 telephone and apprise him that a cer- 

 tain Boston potentate is on the five- 

 hour train for New York, whereupon J. 

 Austin will desert Twenty-Eighth street 

 for the Grand Central station, where he 

 will smilingly meet the aforesaid Bos- 

 ton potentate on his arrival, learn that 

 portion of his business which may be 

 considered public property, and describe 

 it in his best style. So it is with some 

 hesitation that the subject of the pres- 

 ent sketch is approached. It seems clear 

 sailing, however. 



A Philadelphia seedsman left New 

 York June 28 on the good ship Olympic. 

 Note well, he had left New York. A 

 Philadelphia merchant with a branch 

 house in Greater New York, and with 

 a genius for advertising, invited the 

 passengers of the Olympic to send their 

 messages or orders by wireless at his 

 expense. The Philadelphia seedsman, 

 himself an advertising genius, was 

 quick to see and grasp the opportunity. 

 An accident to his eye-glasses and, at 

 3:15 p. m., "W. Atlee Burpee sent a 

 message through the clouds to John

Wanamaker, ordering a duplicate. John 

 Wanamaker was abroad, but those who 

 have received from him the Wanamaker 

 spirit were on the alert. Genius met 

 genius. An aviator was engaged by 

 telephone, the box containing the 

 glasses was rushed to him by motor and 

 at 4:15 p. m. a biplane was hovering 

 over the Olympic as she swept toward 

 the sea. The aviator dropped %e box. 

 Unfortunately, it missed the Olympic's 

 deck; here was the only hitch in the 

 whole affair, and the first attempt at 

 ocean package delivery had been made. 

 The vessel had gone too far to make 

 another attempt possible and the inci- 

 dent closed with a congratulatory mes- 

 sage by wireless from Mr. Burpee to 

 Mr. Wanamaker on the enterprise dis- 

 played in his attempt.
