I charge ten cents per pound and make a supply once a week. H. B. W. I raise about one-fourth of an acre of flowers and sell the cut flowers. In tho spring I raise a good many aster, pansy and salvia plants to sell, and get my seed from a seed company. In the fall I aave my own seed and sell 'Some to friends, and thus it is neces- sary to buy seed only every other year. I sold about forty dot'.ars worth of flowers last summer and had all I could use for myself and friends. I took some flowers to the fair and got a number of premiums on them. W. P.
