MORE MONEY FOR FLOWERS 
The rule of success, a highly successful flower grower says, is: 
Have flowers when they are most in demand and prices high, in Decem¬ 
ber, January and February. Many flowers can be had In bloom at that 
time. Calendulas will bloom freely during winter bnt will not 
bring top prices as long as pompons are In the market. Follow 
mams with Stevia, pot plants, gladioli, freesias. Snaps 
5 or 6 Inches apart, depending on the size of the plants, 
back till the middle of November and then allowed to come will 
bloom during winter. To make the flowers come give the snaps 
say 55 deg. in January and February. The flowers will be weaker 
and not so long but you will get three times as much money for 
them than they would bring In March and later. And—do things 
Just a little different. Do not grow a quantity of something yonr 
neighbor grower did well with last year. Usually the maTket will 
be overstocked with that particular thing and prices poor. 
PLUMBAGO CAPENSIS

spring till frost large panicles of porcelain blue flowers of extreme 
beauty in greatest profusion. Fine pot plant for spring sales and a

ICELAND POPPIES—Papaver Nudicaule 
These produce myriads of brilliant flowers, delicately perfumed 
on stalks, foot high, from early in May till frost if not allowed to 
seed. There is a certain class to these flowers and a strong appeal 
that makes them ready sellers and there is no flower that is more 
profitable to grow. In European markets millions of blooms are 
being sold every season and the wonder is that they are not being 
grown more liberally by the florists in this country. Fall is the best 
time to plant them, but they will bloom the same year if planted 
early in March. For shipping they should be cut in bud stage. Ab¬ 
solutely hardy. Height 15 inches. Perennial. Should be spaced 5 
inches apart and exposed to full sunlight. 
Sow the 6eed in July and August to get a big crop of bloom the 
following spring and summer.
