MIDGE

You need not fear Midge any more. Cyanogas 1/10 oz. per 1,000 cu. ft. used every night or every other night will completely rid your place of midge, and if house is clean you can use it once or twice a week and keep things clean.

Nico Fume liquid sprayed on plants as strong as they will stand without burning will also keep down Midge, or rid your place of midge if you have it.

Manufacturers of Fume Tobac claim this will also control Midge by fumigation but we have not proved it.

SNAPDRAGON

Follow your Mums with Snaps. Now that Rust can be completely controlled many find this a very paying crop. Snaps and Mums are the only wholesale crops we grow and by putting all our energies and thought into these two crops we think we can give you as good or better service than you can get elsewhere. We try to treat our customers as we would want them to treat us if we were buying and we will expect to supply you regularly. Our Rust circular is free.

PRICE-LIST AND RUST CIRCULAR

Snapdragons are becomming one of the most profitalile crops and the flowers are used for almost every purpose — even wedding lionquets. Now that rust can lie entirely prevented they are practically a sure crop if ordinary judgment is used in growing them.

Snaps are usually planted about 12 in. each way, or given about that amount of room, and in good growing soil. They must be staked or supported in some way so stems will not get crooked. They may he grown wild with good results, hut with much better success if trimmed to a certain number of stems and all unnecessary growth removed.

In the year 1920 we had a bed of Snaps that seemed completely destroyed with rust — even the ground under the plants was red with rust. It was discarded as worthless and the bed would be used for another crop as needed. Several weeks passed before it was needed and we noticed strong new growth free from rust coming on the plants. They looked so promis¬ ing we thought we would experiment with them and did not even wet the soil for weeks. This new growth kept perfectly clean and produced as hne a crop of flowers as we have ever had. To further carrr^ on the experiment for two years after this we grew Snaps in the same bed and same soil — with the addition of manure — and have had two good crops entirely free from rust grown in this “rusty” soil in a “rusty” house and only one condition was different, viz : the plants were never sprayed or foilage wet with water at any time.

Therefore, from actual experience we say DO NOT WET THE FOLIAGE OF SNAPS AT ANY TIME AND YOU WILL HAVE NO TROUBLE WITH RUST IN GROWING THEM.

We make a specialty of Snapdragons for the wholesale trade, buy our seed from specialists — using Ramsburg’s seed on all the varieties he grows. We are offering- the following varie¬ ties from pots for this season, topped and branching, 'wen cstaunsiieu aim free iiom rust.

$5.00 per 100 $45.00 per 1000

Philadelphia, the most popular clear pink Keystone, dark pink, taller than Nelrose Silver Pink, silvery pink, great producer Garnet, rich velvety red Scarlet, bright and gay

It is discouraging to buy a lot of plants and have them arrive all “jumbled together.” We pack in shallow boxes, each plant wrapped separately and all well cleated so they cannot move. This is a part of our business and we have had the experience and know how to do it right.

You cannot go wrong if you plan to give a part of your greenhouse to Snaps. Samples mailed for 25c postage.
