SELLS LIKE HOT CAKES 



Among recent interesting letters received was the following: 

 Mr. G. S. Ramsburg. Medina, O., Jan. 20, '14. 



Dear Sir: We thought you would like to know of our 

 success with your Silver Pink Snapdragon. Have had twelve 

 packages of seed. We sow one pkt. to a flat, and from last 

 sowing of two pkts. we potted 655 plants from one and 

 630 from the other. Think you advertised 500 seeds to pkt. 

 How is this for all seed growing, then some. THEY SELL 

 LIKE HOT CAKES. Very respectfully, 



Hammerschmidt & Clark. 



We have but one quality of goods and the same SQUARE 

 DEAL is handed out alike to all. There is more money for 

 the grower in SILVER PINK SEEDLINGS than in any 

 other snapdragon. Its existence is not due to accident. It 

 was brought about by scientific rules and principles and has 

 "made good" to the amazement of all. It has pure blood, 

 produced by three generations of the parent plant from 

 cuttings without permitting a blossom to appear, so that 

 it could not even pollenize itself. This stock, which is still 

 in our possession; was then allowed to produce seed which 

 is making a world-wide record. It has vigorous growth and 

 wonderful productiveness, hence its great popularity through- 

 out the country. 



To obtain genuine Silver Pink seed, order from us or 

 from seedsmen who have original packets only. We do not 

 sell in bulk. The price is $1.00 per trade pkt.; 3 pkts., $2.50; 

 7 pkts., $5.00, postpaid for cash. 



Splendid, well branched plants at $4.00 per 100, by express. 

 These plants are right for Memorial. Use seeds for bedding 

 sales and be sure to have a big lot of plants.

est varieties. At the last cut over 100,- 

 000 spikes were cut. The house con- 

 taining these is a large one, 52%x600. 



The selection of Samuel Goddard as 

 the new president of the American Car- 

 nation Society met with universal ap- 

 proval hero. Mr. Goddard is a first-class 

 grower, progressive, popular with every- 

 one, and no one has the interests of the 

 Carnation Society more at heart. 



William W. Elliott has some nice, 

 bushy, well flowered plants of Christie- 

 Miller rose in his store windows on Park 

 street. He is cutting a fine crop of this 

 popular rose, also superb lots of Ward, 

 Richmond and Killarney Queen. 



Among the numerous bulbous flowers 

 of Mann Bros., Narcissus Walter T. 

 Ware and Tulip Murillo are noteworthy 

 at present. 



The new unnamed light pink seedling 

 rose at the Waban Rose Conservatories 

 is something that will create no end of 

 a stir when seen more of. It is of a 

 distinct shade from any other forcing 

 rose, and Mr. Montgomery has a nov- 

 elty which will later create even more 

 of a sensation than did Mrs. Chas. Rus- 

 sell. 



At the next meeting of the Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Club, February 17, 

 L. W. C. Tuthill, of New York, will lec- 

 ture on "Advertising, the Gasoline of 

 Business." It will be carnation night, 

 and an extensive display of these flow- 

 ers will be made. Arrangements are 

 well under way for the annual club ban- 

 quet, which will be held at Horticultural 

 hall February 24. These occasions are 

 always delightful, and there is already 

 an eager demand for tickets. 



Harry Quint, at 164 Tremont street, 

 has had some attractive daffodil and vio- 

 let windows of late. He notes a wonder- 

 ful change for the better in business 

 during the last fortnight. 



The Sutermeister estate, Readville, is 

 sending in some of the finest Golden 

 Spur and Soleil d'Or narcissi seen this 

 season. 



H. M. Robinson & Co. and Welch 

 Bros. Co. both note a steady improve- 

 ment in business for the last ten days.

This appears to be the sentiment, both 

 among wholesalers and retailers. 



Littlefield & Wyman have a new rose- 

 pink seedling carnation which is said 

 to be a wonderful producer. The flow- 

 ers are not of the largest size, but the 

 stem and calyx are excellent and the 

 flowers hold their color remarkably well. 

 They have another seedling which is a 

 glorified Enchantress, also promising.
