 Manufacturers of CHERRY RED STANDARD POTS of all sizes 



Our clav is mined from the old Morrow County Beaver Swamp, wliich enables us to furnish florists with 

 pots noted for strength, porosity, beauty in color, liglitnefs in weight and smoothness in surface, making 

 them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants. 



Our factory is equipped with new and up-to-date machinery. Our capacity is greater and our ware- 

 house full of stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will

quality of the seed of those sorts, so 

 that those who wish to engage in the 

 production of such specialties may call 

 "upon us for a small quantity of stock 

 seed from which to produce their own 

 crop of seed. We do not anticipate 

 growing seed in a commercial way. All 

 we hope to do is to maintain small 

 plantations of distinctive strains of 

 field and forcing house products from 

 which commercial growers may secure 

 sufficient stock seed to enable them to 

 grow seed for commercial purposes. 



"The only thing we ask is a pledge of 

 good faith, good cultivation and an hon- 

 est endeavor to keep the strain's pure, 

 but if for any reason the seeds become 

 mixed or lose caste, return to headquar- 

 ters for a fresh supply of stock seed. 



"This is the aim and object of one of 

 the lines of work which we are pursuing 

 for the benefit of the market growers 

 of Boston and elsewhere throughout the 

 United States. I wish to leave the im- 

 pression that we are not endeavoring to 

 produce new varieties, but rather to 

 bring about a high standard of ex- 

 cellence in the best commercial sorts 

 already upon the market. We are inter- 

 ested in the producer of the commercial 

 crop, and we feel that if we can place 

 this choice stock seed at the disposal of 

 those who grow the seed, we can to that 

 extent insure the producer of the mar- 

 ket product. This, we think, is one of 

 the cheapest crop insurances which the 

 government can oflfer to the gardeners 

 and truck farmers of the United 

 States. ' ' 



WOOD LICE OR SOW BUGS. 



Please tell me the name of the in- 

 sects enclosed. The little pests are 

 usually near the root of the plants and 

 it seems to me that they eat the plants. 

 Is there anv remedy for these? 



M. L. 



The insects in question are wood lice, 

 or sow bugs, and they do frequently 

 eat the tender growth of various plants. 

 One of the best remedies for this pest 

 is a mixture of brown sugar and Paris 

 green, either sprinkled along the border 

 of the bench or placed on small pieces 

 of glass among the plants.

 ed directors of the Texas Floral Society 

 are Tom Wolfe and Charles Mayer, 

 florists of this city.
