IHE OSTRICH PLUME CELOSIA " PRIDE OF CASTLE GOULD" 

 is an entirely distinct type of the Celosia Pyramidalis Plumosa, 

 and surpasses by far anything thus far placed on the mi^rket. 

 This strain has through constant culture and careful selection 

 and hybridization proven its superiority to anything similar ever offered. 



The following four strong points speak for themselves : 



HABIT OF PLANT. Pyramidal, compact growth of from two to 

 three feet, with immense, extra fine-feathered heads, gives the plant a 

 most striking and unique appearance. 



MARKET VALUE. The flowers being of such bright and intense 

 color, and the plant of erect growth and beautiful foliage, it creates 

 the greatest admiration, wherever shown, and establishes a demand for 

 itself that every plant-lover must appreciate. 



COLOR. The following distinct colors are among these hybrids : 

 Blood-red, real Carmine, Golden Yellow, Salmon, Deep Scarlet, Dark 

 Orange and Wine Red. However, by variation, there will be found 

 many more shades ; the self-coloring will be surprising. 



DECORATIVE VALUE. As a pot plant, with its quick-growing 

 habit, we believe there is no finer plant known at the present time, 

 wherefrom in the course of six months a most excellent stock of sala- 

 ble plants in every size can be obtained. As a bedding plant, it cannot 

 be equaled by any other annual for its profusion of flowers and variety 

 of striking colors, and we consider it the queen of all decorative annu- 

 als where showing groups are desired, and when given a fine, sunny 

 exposure it will develop to its highest perfection. 



We offer seed for the first year strictly from pot-grown plants, fur- 

 nished by the introducers, Messrs. Julius Roehrs Co., Rutherford, N. J. 



All packets we send out will contain mixed seeds.

Bimonthly public lectures are given 

 on seasonable topics pertaining to hor- 

 ticulture. Meetings are held twice a 

 month in the evening, at one of which 

 the department heads discuss matters 

 that will further benefit the customers 

 of the establishment; the other is, so to 

 speak, a meeting to talk over various 

 methods of making the army of clerks 

 careful, diligent, and, incidentally, to 

 train them in the way the head of the 

 house would like them to go. It sim- 

 ply means putting that personal touch 

 into every transaction.

DUTY ON GIANT SPURRY SEED. 



The International Forwarding Co., 

 Chicago, claimed that giant spurry seed 

 was free of duty under paragraph 668, 

 tariff act of 1909, providing for "grass 

 seeds. ' ' General Appraiser Waite wrote 

 the following opinion for the board: 

 "Some testimony was taken in this 

 case. We do not think any distinction 

 can be made between what is known as 

 giant spurry and what is known as 

 common spurry. In G. A. 6428 (T. D.

27578) we had occasion to pass on com- 

 mon spurry. The record in that case 

 and the testimony in this case satisfy 

 us that, for duty purposes, the seed 

 of the giant spurry and the common 

 spurry should be treated as the same. 

 Spurry is used for forage purposes and 

 cured for hay in much the same way as 

 sainfoin, vetch, and clover. The Inter- 

 national Encyclopedia (vol. 18, p. 475) 

 has this to say about spurry: 



Spurry Is a weed sometltnes cultivated as a for- 

 age crop. Corn spurry or common spurry (Sper- 

 gula arvensls) is an annual from to 12 inches 

 high, producing a tangled mass of succulent
