The proper time to talk aster seed is 

 when ihe stock can be seen In bloom. 

 About February first the buyer has to take 

 the word of the catalogues in regard to the 

 Steele he Is looking for. 



Weather conditions here In Palneevllle 

 have been Just as unfavorable as elsewhere. 

 Our asters are all strictly field-grown and 

 without water. Steady use of the cultivator, 

 our shading system and top feeding has 

 given us a splendid crop. Below will be 

 found a list of our favorites, with stem and 

 fiower measurements. We are prepared to 

 convince the gentleman from Missouri If he 

 will call, or we will be glad to send out a 

 limited number of sample boxes of flowers.

 This will be deducted from the first seed 

 order.

I^avender Gem and Snowdrift. Our strain 

 of these cannot be beaten. Only three rogues 

 taken from over 1500 plants. They showed 

 as high as 16 salable flowers to the plant. 

 Stem 12-22 In., flower 2%-4 in. 



We ship no flowers, only a few rogues 

 going onto the Cleveland market, taken by 

 Jores <% Rusuell. They bring $2.50 per 100 on 

 a 75c. -$1.00 market. 



Very good seed blocks of most of the 

 special asters advertised last spring can be 

 seen here, but those mentioned above are 

 showing much the best results.

FLORISTS' REVIEW 



When Writing Advertisers 



In olden times every man 

 carried a sword, which was 

 necessary for purposes of 

 honor and self-preservation. 

 When a man wanted to show 

 another his intentions were 

 peaceable, he extended his 

 right hand, signifying he was 

 at the mercy of the other by 

 giving up his fighting arm. 

 If the other reciprocated, he, 

 too, extended his fighting 

 arm, and they grasped hands 

 as a token of mutual trust 

 and friendship. Now, there 

 are various kinds of hand- 

 shakes — some vigorous, de- 

 noting strength, much of the 

 mediocre kind, as though it 

 was more a duty than a vol- 

 untary salute; but the limit is 

 the fish hand — have you ever 

 held one ^ Well, it feels like 

 you were handling the en- 

 trails of a chicken — sort of a 

 slimy-where-are-you feeling, 

 that leaves with you the 

 impression that the poor fel- 

 low was weaned too soon — a 

 sort of human pancake 

 batter. Now, good, sound, 

 solid lily bulbs are like a 

 good, sound, solid handshake 

 —not made in a biscuit mold, 

 but by nature good stuff; but 

 the other kind are just like 

 the fish hand. Shake hands 

 witli Horseshoe Brand Bulbs 

 —it's worth your while to 

 try them. Write for prices.
