The following are letters and extracts from letters received in one week. They are 



from men who do business for profit: 



Great Neck, N. Y., March 30, 1914. 

 Mr. G. S. Ramsburg-»-Dear Sir : Your Silver Pink Seedling Snapdragon is doing 

 grand with me, and it is bringing a good price in New York market. Much better than 

 the darker pinks. * * * Wm^ W. Mathews. 



Grimsby, Ontario, March 27, 1914. 

 Dear Sir : Please send me 200 of your Seedling Silver Pink Snaps, also one packet 

 of seed. Check enclosed. The seed I had from you last year produced a fine lot of 

 plants, which have been greatly admired. Yours truly, R. Morris Wolfenden. 



York Harbor, Me., March 25, 1914. 

 Mr. RamsbUrg: Send me two pkts. seed of your S. P. Snap and 200 seedling 

 plants of same. Also grow for me one flat of seedlings same as last year. Your Sil- 

 ver Pink is a great one to branch and the best seller I have grown. All of my stock 

 is grown and flowered outside. Alukrt Langvii.le. 



Others reach us daily. One grower has asked for price on stock for an acre.which 

 means 15,000 plants. And so the business comes. Get in line and pick up some of the 

 easy money coming to growers of SEEDLING Silver Pink, both indoors and out. We 

 still offer first-class plants at the reduced price of 



$20.00 PER 1000 s:b««.ru^ 



Sow seed now for bedding sales. Price, $1.00 per pkt.; :> for $2.50; 7 for $5.00. Cash. Free cultural directions.

G. S. RAMSBURG,

Somersworth, N. H. 



full committees are appointed and are 

 already starting work, and all visitors 

 who come to the Hub can bank on get- 

 ting full value for their money. 



MacMulkin has an unusually fine dis- 

 jilay of specimen flowering plants at 

 his Boylston street store. 



One of the neatest commercial estab- 

 lishments near Boston is that of E. H. 

 Borowski, of Boslindale. Everything 

 here is kept as neatly as on a private 

 estate. Standard Tausendschon and 

 Dorothy Perkins roses are good. Among 

 other varieties, Excelsa, double bright 

 scarlet, is splendid. This is one of 

 Walsh's varieties and a vast improve- 

 ment on Crimson Bambler. It makes 

 Hiawatha, growing alongside of it, 

 look quite dull. White Dorothy is a 

 good seller. Minnehaha, of the color 

 of Lady Gay, but with heavier foliage 

 and immense trusses of flowers, is a 

 coming variety. I counted 100 flowers 

 ■and buds on trusses in 8-inch pots. 

 Bougainvilleas are splendidly grown 

 here, in all sizes, some standards being 

 superb. Giganteum lilies and azaleas 

 could hardly have been better. A 

 grand lot of cyclamen was waiting for 

 more space, for Memorial day trade. 

 Everything here is a credit to the ca- 

 pable growers. 



James F. M. Farquhar arrived home 

 from Porto Rico last week, much im- 

 proved in health and eager to be at 

 business again. 



Welch Bros. Co. reports the demand 

 for lilies in pots as exceptionally 

 strong. 



All the seed stores report business 

 as strenuous. Counter trade was late 

 in starting and congested conditions 

 will rule the rest of the season. Owing 

 to continued cool weather, hardly a 

 seed has yet been sown outdoors here. 

 Nursery firms report an avalanche of 

 orders, and the season will be a trying 

 one to them, owing to the frost holding 

 on so late. 



Good single violets are becoming 

 scarce, but April 4 the flowers from 

 William Spillsbury, Woburn, and Kid-
