WINTERSON'S "Worth-While" 



DAHLIA ROOTS 



Florists and dealers generally will find 

 a big sale for Dahlia roots, providing they 

 place before the public stock that is of 

 good appearance and such as is not di- 

 vided up into small pieces. We furnish 

 large, undivided clumps of all of the va- 

 rieties listed herein; furthermore, the 

 sorts named have been specially selected 

 for early blooming, which is an impor- 

 tant factor in the northern country, where 

 early autumn frosts frequently occur. 

 Those varieties marked with a * are par- 

 ticularly recommended to growers of cut 

 flowers.

NEW YOEK INSPECTION. 



C. J. Hudson, commissioner of agri- 

 culture for the state of New York, has 

 issued a bulletin in which it is said in 

 part: 



"Fifty of the transportation com- 

 panies of the state have recently been 

 directed to send notices to the commis- 

 sioner of agriculture, at Albany, of all 

 shipments of nursery stock coming into 

 the state. Custom-house brokers im- 

 porting nursery stock are also required 

 to make similar reports, and all such 

 shipments are inspected at point of des- 

 tination by competent inspectors of the 

 department. 



"The law requires that any nursery 

 stock brought into the state must re- 

 main packed or unopened until permis- 

 sion is given by the commissioner of 

 agriculture or his duly authorized rep- 

 resentative. Inspectors of the depart- 

 ment are located in various parts of the 

 state and are available to make prompt 

 inspection. To facilitate rapid inspec- 

 tion, receivers of nursery stock should 

 notify the department office at Albany 

 or an authorized inspector of the re- 

 ceipt or expected receipt of such con- 

 signments, giving full information." 



FLOSISTS AND DECIDUOUS STOCK. 



Year by year the demand increases 

 for choice trees and shrubs, and the 

 way the nursery business is expanding 

 is one of the astonishing signs of the 

 times. There are few country florists 

 who are not called on to do more or 

 less of this planting each season, and 

 there is an almost unlimited field for 

 the future. Some florists are wide- 

 awake and preparing for the ever in- 

 creasing demand, but many others 

 should exert themselves and get ready 

 for the business which can be theirs 

 almost for the asking. Some there are 

 who scoflf at this so-called "landscape" 

 end of the business, but that it is 

 profitable all who have engaged in it, 

 and really attended to the wants and 

 wishes of their customers, can testify. 



One florist who comes to mind, who 

 has not been in the greenhouse busi- 

 ness long, now employs over thirty 

 men from spring to autumn each sea- 

 son, with a smaller number in winter,
