When Flowers Are Scarce . . . HERE IS THE ANSWER 
Here is a basket any florist can produce with a small in¬ 
vestment. Please note we have used about 16 nice spikes 
of Liatris Pycnostachya, 18 nice stalks of Hemerocallis 
Kwanso FI. PI. and a small bunch of Artemesia Silver King 
for filler. 
These items are very easily grown, succeeding in almost 
any type of soil. Flowers were cut the second week in 
August from our nursery rows, just at the time of the year 
when flowers as a rule are very scarce. 
100 plants each of the three items used in the basket will 
require an investment of about $21.00. These 300 plants 
will furnish you for many years with a good supply of 
cut flowers for use in various floral arrangements. To the 
right is a complete description of the respective kinds 
mentioned above. 
ARTEMESIA 
Silver King. Unquestionably one of the best all around 
decorative plants. Its bright silver-colored stems and 
foliage are of great value as a filler for bouquets, sprays, 
baskets, or all sorts of floral pieces. By cutting and 
drying the stems it is very valuable in the winter 
for filler. Florists in our districts paid high prices for 
their supplies last winter. It is a showy plant in the 
perennial border or among shrubbery. Height 30 inches.
