PREPARE EH MEMORIAL DAY 



AND BEDDING-OUT TIME

Origioal Silver Pink 



is the peer of all Snapdragons. It is not the 

 coarse and long-headed kind, but a soft, deli- 

 cate pink that comes most perfect in full sun- 

 shine, both indoors and out. It is unexcelled 

 for the field or border. Use seeds for bedding 

 stock and plants for Memorial. I have a 

 block of plants that will be ready about Feb. 

 20, when they must go, as we need the space 

 March 1. 

 Plants will be stocky and branched, same 



as shown here, and the price is $4.00 per 100, $<5.00 per lUOO, by express. Order today, as my stock is limited to 8,000 plants. 

 Prke of pure seed. $1.00 per pkf. of over 500 seeds; 3 phis., $2.50, dtlivered 8n>Hhere in Ihe woild. Cash must acccmiiany all ordi rs. 

 Use seedlings for a full crop at Memorial day. Plants from cuttings are good, but _____ Biddeford, Me., Jan. 15,1913. 



will have an extended flowering season. When this is desired the same can be had 



of seedlings, regulated by pinching, but you cannot have every shoot ready for mar- 

 ket at practically the same time except by the use of seedlings, where every shoot 



is a "live wire," of the same age. The plants we offer have been pinched and 



handled for a MEMORIAL CROP, when you will want BLOSSOMS, and all 



you can get. Plants will have three to five branches. Make room for a lot and 



order at once. If you need proof, read the following letters :

My Dear Mr. Ramsburg:— I have been thinking over 

 the matter of your. Silver Pink Snapdragon for a good 

 while, and have been waiting for them to come Into 

 bloom nicely before I would form a definite opinion of 

 them. I personally think they are the finest 1 ever saw, 

 both for size and color, and we are preparing for a blp: 

 season with them the coming year. * • * »
