 ply a shell of little more than paint and 

 clapboirds, and is really not worth even 

 tearing down. 



The greenhouses are in the form of 

 two well-built structures, 45x180. In 

 proof that his bargain on the whole place 

 is all that is represented, he has re- 

 fused an offer of $3,000 bonus upon it 

 already, with the question of aceeiJtanee 

 of $5,000, which he avers he would re- 

 fuse. 



. But do you know that rascil has 

 brought into market a yood 100,000 as- 

 ters during the past ni.nith, half of them 

 during the past w.ok. and they came off 

 of a ridiiiihni-l\ .Iniiniiitive piece of real 

 estate. W h. n h. ,^.,^n't looking I

 they will not bntlnr u- -n imi.h by half 

 as they otherwise would, since many will 

 come in too late unless frosts hold off 

 wonderfully.

The Market. 



is still with us and outdoor stull' i.s 

 burning up for want of rain. Business 

 is very quiet and funeral work is about 

 all we have to do. Prices on roses run 

 from $2 to ,$5 per 100; quite a lot of 

 short Beauties are in the market at $5 

 per 100. Carnations and asters are 

 small and sell at $1 to $1.50 per 100. 

 This is about all the stock that is com- 

 ing in at present. J. J. B. 



nVE TIMES AS MANY. 

 I spent $2 in the classified columns of 

 the Keview and as a result sold five 

 times as many plants as I did through 

 $25 worth of advertising in another pa- 

 per. This is experience that can't be 

 gainsaid. — G. P. Moore, Ocean City, 

 N. J. 



A GOOD THING. 



The classified advs. are a good thing. 

 It is easy to find just what is wanted, 

 and I think it is only a matter of a lit- 

 tle time before people generally will 

 realize this. — S. M. Hakbison, Danville, 

 Ky. 



BETTER RESULTS. 



I shall continue to patronize your col- 

 umns by giving you a greater proportion 

 of my advertising, as the Review gives 

 me better results. — Joseph Heacock, 

 Wyncote, Pa. 



A GOOD DRUMMER. 



The Ueview is a good drummer. It 

 sells phints qtiicker than any other 

 trade paper we have in the country. — 

 C. Lawritzen, Rhinebeck, N. Y.
