Quality considered, our bulbs cost less than the average. We have 
many customers on our books who have given us their orders, at open 
prices, for fifteen years in succession, without any question or complaint 
during all that time. You can depend entirely upon our painstaking 
service and fairness.

ROOTONE for BULBS 
We highly recommend the use of Rootone for dusting various kinds 
of bulbs previous to planting. Carefully conducted experiments have 
shown most encouraging results as expressed by more vigorous 
growth, more flowers, and larger flowers. 
RE DAFFODIL POISONING 

From F, R, Williams, manager of the Cleveland Cut Flower 
Co., Cleveland, Ohio, we have received some further informa- 
tion re Daffodil poisoning. Mr. Williams advises us that one of 
their growers, a large producer of Daffodils, at different times, 
has had his arms and hands poisoned when cutting these 
flowers. This grower gained almost instant relief through using 
a solution of one bichloride tablet to a pint of water, applying 
this to his hands whenever that itchy feeling started. 
Charles Rapp, florist and landscape gardener, Melrose High- 
lands, Mass., sends several formulas for relief of poisoning: 
1, Scrub hands with soap and water as hot as possible, after 
handling Daffodils and Primula Obconica. 2. Carbolated 
vaseline 3 per cent, rubbed on the hands will stop itching 
and help to check the poisoning. 3. Wash hands and 
affected parts in solution of water and permanganate of 
potash (the color of grape juice) one to two teaspoonfuls 
to one gallon of water—If skin is broken from scratching, 
use Parke-Davis Emollentine. 
These formulas will also check Ivy and Sumach poisoning. 
From a gardener present at the New York Show we learned 
that druggists stock ferrous (or ferris) chloride and glycerine 
tablets which are taken internally, these immunizing one from 
plant poisoning. We were assured that all CCC workers were 
‘kept free of plant poisoning by this treatment, but we have not 
received confirmation of this statement.
