The Florists' Review 



May 22, 1913. 



BUSY TIME 



but it won't take you long to sow a few flats of Silver Pink Snapdragon seed. They 

 will be ready for potting after the rush is over and you soon will have a lot of nice 

 plants for fall and winter blossoms, with little effort and a very small expense. 



GROW SNAPDRAGON 



grow a good one and grow it well, remembering that my ORIGINAL SILVER PINK 



is the pioneer commercial variety and heads the list for color and habit of growth. 

 Nothing in sight to equal it. Price of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. of over 500 

 seeds; 3 pkts., f -'.60, cash. Plenty of potted plants, July and August delivery.

Of course, soil aud climate and every 

 other condition were identical. 



"When the first bit of green showed 

 above the surface the bed was photo- 

 graphed, the exact day and hour noted, 

 and affidavit made that the photograph 

 was a picture of a certain bed. Day by 

 day these beds were photographed, the 

 nature and character of the foliage 

 were noted and the hour was recorded 

 when each flower spike made its ap- 

 pearance. 



"As compared with the best Holland 

 bulbs, the Bellingham bulbs bloomed 

 seven to ten days earlier and showed a 

 superiority in bloom, texture ana 

 color of ten to twenty-five per cent. 



' ' Now you can see where the hun- 

 dreds of tons of coal saved come in. 

 A typical greenhouse man in New 

 York will force hundreds of thousands 

 of bulbs in a season for the cut flower 

 trade. Multiply the advantage of seven 

 to ten days' earlier bloom and you can 

 see that the saving to the florist will 

 be enormous. In the final analysis. 

 quality being equal, the Bellingham 

 bulb will prove a great money-maker 

 for the owner. 



"The future of the bulb industry in 

 Whatcom county is assured. There are 

 many districts in the county where, in 

 my judgment, the bulb may be grown 

 to perfection. 



"The book of bulb results which the 

 government will publish will be pro- 

 fusely illustrated and will tell of the 

 history of bulb culture in this district, 

 beginning with the first experiments 

 attempted by George Gibbs, of Clear- 

 brook, the father of bulb culture here- 

 abouts. 



"These books will be in great de- 

 mand, particularly when it is known 

 that this volume will be the first au- 

 thoritative work on bulb growing. The 

 Hollanders have never reduced to writ- 

 ing the secrets of their processes, and 

 what few books have been printed on 

 the subject have come from parts of 

 the world where bulb culture has not 

 been successful."

The Market. 



Business last week was hardly up to 

 the standard, owing to an almost inces- 

 sant rainfall. The planting of outdoor 

 stock has just begun and all florists 

 are kept busy in that way. Funeral 

 work has been good, but the general 

 business showed a decided decrease as 

 compared with that of the previous 

 week. Stock is of excellent quality. 

 Roses, especially Kaiserins, are fine 

 and the supply takes good care of the 

 demand. Carnations are holding up
