TO PROLONG THE SELLING SEASON make 
a dis¬ 
play on your premises of summer flowering plants. New 
plants or old plants of striking beauty that in spite of their 
worthiness are almost unknown. These old plants will act 
as novelties in most cases. Mass them in beds, place the 
plants in pots so that you can handle the plants easily when 
a sale is effected. Bury the pots in the ground. We would 
not display Petunias, Zinnias and other such in quantity. 
While these make your place look nice they do not create 
sales during summer. Have potted plants in reserve to re¬ 
place those sold or whole beds of flowers that are through 
blooming. When for instance Pentstemon Grandiflorus is 
out of bloom replace it with Gaillardia Burgundy or what¬ 
ever you may have in full bloom. Thus you can have on 
display several different flowers before frost arrives. You 
will make sales and will advertise your wares very effi¬ 
ciently. We suggest a few plants that we are sure will sell 
during summer. Achillea Perry’s White, Armeria, choice 
specimens of even height, Calliopsis Dazzler and Garnet, 
Campanula Glomerata Superba, Celosia Fire Feather, Dian- 
thus Deltoides Brilliant, Dianthus Caesius Splendens, Gail¬ 
lardia Burgundy, Gaillardia Beautiful Star, Gypsophyla 
Flowering Carpet, Gypsophyla Oldhamiana, Linum Cloth of 
Gold, Lychnis Chalcedonica Grfl., Mimulus Tigrinus, Pent¬ 
stemon Grfl., Pentstemon Sensation, Pyrethrum Uliginosum, 
Scabiosa Caucasica, Scabiosa Fisheri, Sweet William Black 
Princess, Torenia, Variegated Yucca. And while trying this 
and if space will be available display a large bed of Larkspur 
Rosemond. We assure you that there will be many passers 
by that will stop and much talk created about your flowers.
