FLORAL SERVICE 
“Say It with Flowers ” 
SPRAY OF FLOWERS 
Expressing Respect and Esteem 
Human sentiments; Love, Esteem, Joy, Sympathy, wishes 
of good cheer, or good luck, are most eloquently expressed by 
a neatly arranged floral gift. A bouquet of flowers to a sick 
friend is like a ray of sunshine in spring. Remembering those 
that left us by a floral message, conveys our sentiments in the 
graceful way that only flowers can express them. 
FLOWERS do bring us cheer when days seem gloomy. Send 
them to friends, for life is then a richer, more appealing sen¬ 
sation in their presence. Try it today for tomorrow might be 
late. 
You may safely entrust your message to our skill; the cost 
may average from $2.00 to $5.00—depending on selection. We 
deliver. 
THE GARDEN IS A DRESS FOR THE HOME. Change its 
appearance when it gets worn, just as you renew the painting 
of a building when old. Alterations may often improve the 
looks of gardens to a large extent. Consult our master crafts¬ 
man ; it makes a difference. 
TALENT, SKILL, ABILITY and KNOWLEDGE are here 
to serve you well. 
Every garden should be a source of fine cut flowers. Some 
space in it reserved for this purpose will prove a welcome 
feature. Some plants are best set out early while others can 
be set after May or June when bulbs have been removed. 
Most perennials are best set out in fall, so have been omitted 
except those that give results from spring planting. Early 
orders arc advisable.

FERTILIZERS 
MORCROP FERTILIZER. A complete fertilizer with or¬ 
ganic base and chemical fillers, put up as follows: 3-lb. carton 
35c; 7-lb. carton 75c; 25-lb. bag $1.40; 50-lb. bag $2.50; 100- 
lb. bag $3.80. Special lawn fertilizer combination, very effec¬ 
tive, 50-lb. bag $1.25. 
We are firmly convinced that above listed preparations are 
the best items to use to increase soil fertility at the most 
reasonable cost, for their contents are known and positive, 
while dried manures seldom have a definite fertilizer value of 
dependable quantity. 
PEAT MOSS. The ideal natural humus to loosen up soils, 
while not a fertilizer may be used generously to improve the 
ground for all but lime-loving plants. Spade it under or work 
PEAT MOSS 
it into the surface of the garden beds. It will make the 
ground porous and prevent caking, help to hold moisture and 
fertility as its fibres act like miniature sponges. Nothing 
finer to dress lawns in spring than a good layer of peat spread 
over the surface, then apply fertilizers which are absorbed 
and held by the peat so that the roots of lawn may thrive on 
it. A generous application will often serve for years. Per 
bale, weighing between 125 to 150 lbs., $2.50, f.o.b. Portland. 
No garden can insure success unless soil fertility is main¬ 
tained. Lawns that are yellow and poor will again turn a rich 
green if treated with fertilizers. How to use them is printed 
on the sacks of Nu Life. They may be used before or after 
planting and will stimulate growth at once. Their use elimi¬ 
nates weeds so often present in manure.
