CENTER OP THE STAGE 



The accompanying cut shows 

 a SEEDLING plant of my orig- 

 inal SILVER PINK, the finest 

 and 



MOST PRODUCTIVE 



snapdragon in the world. It is 

 an average plant taken from a 

 bench now growing in our 

 houses and is the kind that can 

 be produced by anyone with 

 ordinary culture.

There are many other snapdragons that 

 can be grown with profit providing; you 

 have a market at a big price for the few 

 spikes that they produce. This thought 

 was furnished by one of our biggest 

 growers when commenting upon profit of 

 varieties from cuttings. It is a hard fact. 

 Have you the market? 



With Silver Pink seedlings you can meet 

 any market with size or quality by cut- 

 ting away shoots to any desired number. 

 Our market takes blossoms at $1.00 to 

 $1.50 per dozen at retail, and we let all 

 shoots come. 



Fine plants, like shown in small pots, 

 now ready at $4.00 per 100, $35.00 per 

 1000. Better make room for a bench. 

 Possibly you have some poor paying space 

 that it will pay you to sacrifice. 



Seed sown now will supply spring sales and summer blossoms. 

 Price, $1.00 per trade pkt.; 3 for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Cash, please. Cultural directions free.

ceeded in poUenizing the improved Be- 

 gonia incarnata with a scarlet tuberous 

 begonia. The seedlings have the foliage 

 and hatit of inparnata, with scarlet 

 flowers like the tuberous varieties. He 

 is also guarding jealously a few seed- 

 lings, the results of crossing white mar- 

 guerites on Chrysanthemum Mizpah. A 

 pink marguerite would be a wonderful 

 novelty, and J hope Mr. Wetterlow may 

 be able to secure it. 



Thomas Roland has a good cut of 

 Cattleya Trianse at Nahant. At Ee-

 sends in over l.'5,000 magnificent Spencer 

 sweet peas daily. 



Paine Bros., of Randolph, now have 

 a splendid assortment of bulbous flowers 

 including Prosperity and Murillo tulips, 

 and Golden Spur, Silver Spur and or-

Patrick Welch is busily engaged in 

 planning out the program for the com- 

 ing S. A. F. convention, and is sanguine 

 that the garden being prepared in the 

 Back Bay fens will be a great feature. 

 He reports Beauty roses as scarce, but 

 all other flowers more abundant. 



A, G. Lake, of Wellesley . Hills, is 

 sending in a fine lot of mignonette and 

 calendulas. 



William H. Elliott is not at all dis- 

 mayed at the accident to part of his big 

 Madbury rose house. The accident has 

 taught him one or two things which so 

 inventive a practitioner will make good 

 use of.
