FANCY LEAVED CALADIUMS 



A Rare Chance for this Season 

 * of the Year 



For nearly a month past we have been obliged to turn down all 

 urders for Fancy Leaved Caladiums, our stock being exhausted. 8lthough 

 we began the season with 30,000 bulbs, but our grower, when making his 

 plantings, found that he had reserved oOOO more bulbs than he could find 

 room for and we are now offering these in a splendid assortment of varie- 

 ties, many of them are new or rare sorts, at $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 per 

 100: $140.00 per 1000. 



These bulbs are in prime condition and if potted up now wUl make 

 splendid plants for summer decorations. You can find nothing superior, 

 or that will stand better in your store window during the summer than 

 these beautifully colored Caladiums. 



Speak quick if you want them, as they are not 



likely to last long.

These prices are for the trade only. 



stock for sale during the season of 

 1912-13. Cold weather, causing the 

 berries to ripen too late for a good 

 market, and the high water conditions 

 prevailing in western Tennessee dur- 

 ing the spring of 1912 are assigned as 

 the cause. 



KELSEY NUSSEBIES BUIIiDING. 



The Kelsey Nurseries, of St. Joseph, 

 Mo., has purchased from the street rail- 

 way company there three acres of land 

 at the corner of Lake and Alabama 

 avenues, on which it will erect a frost- 

 proof storage building, 140 x 180 feet. 

 The eompany, which is capitalized at 

 $50,000, operates about 150 acres south 

 *of St.- Joseph. The deal was made by 

 C. G. Ferguson, manager of the nurs- 

 eries, and E. S. Welch, proprietor of 

 the Mt. Arbor Nurseries, at Shenan- 

 doah, la., who is a stockholder in the 

 Kelsey Nurseries. G. L. Welch, of the 

 Plumfield Nurseries, at Fremont, Neb., 

 is the third stockholder, and it is stated 

 that he will move to St. Joseph and 

 become actively identified with the en- 

 larged scope of the Kelsey Nurseries, 

 which every year handles about 500,000 

 apple, 200,000 peach, 100,000 cherry 

 and 100,000 pear trees, in addition to 

 its other operations. 



PRUNING BESBY PLANTS. 



Kindly advise me ihow to prune rasj)- 

 berry. blackberry and gooseberry plants. 

 ^ A. S. 



Easpberries should be pruned back 

 just before growth starts. I like to 

 leave the canes about three feet high 

 and superfluous ones should be removed 

 entirely. From blackberries the weak 

 and dead wood should be removed and 

 they must be pruned lightly as com- 

 pared with raspberries. On gooseber- 

 ries, for the first two or three years, 

 the new growths should be cut back 

 half their length. Afterward they will 

 merely need a little judicious thinning 

 out. C. W.
