KALAMAZOO, MICH. 



The demand during the last month has 

 dropped somewhat, and owing to in- 

 creased supplies, prices have also taken a 

 drop. Carnations are verr plentiful and 

 of a high grade. The soil here being of 

 a cold yellowish loam, and up till now we 

 have had no warm weather, carnations 

 and roses show little signs of deteriora- 

 tion. 



The sales of bedding stock, baskets and 

 window boxes bid fair to be away ahead 

 of former years. The Van Boehove 

 Bros, have filled some very large orders 

 to public institutions and jirivate i)ar- 

 ties. They are planning to build a new 

 forcing house, and a cold honsc this sea- 

 son. 



The Dnnkley Floral Co. are also doing 

 a big trade in bedding stock. 



Mr. Sand. Batson is rejoicing over the 

 home coming of a tine ten pound boy. 



The celery men are busy planting. Last 

 season being a very successful one, has 

 encouraged them to considerably in- 

 crease the acreage of the famous prod- 

 uct. 



Carnation planting in the field is fin- 

 ished. Wo were fortunate to have some 

 nice rains after planting, which have 

 given the plants a fine start. 



There is every appearance of stock be- 

 ing plentiful for ilemorial Day. 



Kibes. 



MASTICA. 



AVliat advantages have Mastica over 

 putty? 



Docs the wood have to be painted be- 

 fore it is applied? 



How much will it take to glaze a house 

 of 1,000 sq. ft. of glass, the glass to be 

 lapped ? 



AVill the extra expense in using Mastica 

 pav one in the long run?

[Will readers who have had experience 

 with Mastica please favor Mr. Eanson. —

JIt. Ephraim, N. J.— Geo. W. Roper 

 reports the best season for several 

 years. Cut flowers have b'^en in good 

 steady demand, and if the call for bed- 

 ding plants holds np as at present the 

 supply will be exhausted before the sea- 

 son is half over.
