The Florists' Review 



97 



A wonderful ^lock at Cur Saal, in 

 Interlachen, SytHS^rland, one of the 

 most famous and biggest tourist hotels 

 of the world. The biggest wonder of 

 nature the world has ever seen. 



See that clock? It is made of 

 flowers 1 



It has h^nds and shows the time! 



See that little house in the rear, also 

 made of flowers! There is hidden a 

 mechanism that strikes the quarter, 

 half and the hour. "What do you think 

 this clock is made off It is made of 

 plants of brilliancy — mostly of dwarf 

 begonias, the Vernon type, short va- 

 riety, pink and red. The head gar- 

 dener, the creator of this clock, of this 

 famous, world-wide known hotel at In- 

 terlachen, Switzerland, has been offered 

 a fortune by American and other mil- 

 lionaires of the world, to make them a 

 clock similar to this, but he declined 

 the offers, saying that he was hired by 



;^%'<l^ ^^%^ 



the hotel compai^ for the next ten 

 years. I was fortunate enough, during 

 my visit there, to obtain from the head 

 gardener, the creator of this clock, a 

 supply of seed and stock plants of those 

 beautiful varieties of begonias to raise 

 a suf&cient crop of about 50,000 young 

 plants in 2%, 3 and 4-inch pots for you 

 to- use in a similar clock, carpet bed or 

 other outside work. A bed of these 

 begonias, pink, the Erfordii, or the 

 bright red improved Vernon; is a joy 

 forever. Constant bloomers, stay al- 

 ways short and bushy, the hot rays of 

 the sun have no bad effect on them. 

 They can be grown in a sunny or shady 

 place. "We can sell you large 4-inch 

 pot plants, either of the improved Er- 

 fordii, the beautiful pink, or the dark 

 bright red improved Vernon, at 10c,
