For a number of years we have used the FUMIGATING KIND TOBACCO 

 POWDER ; it has never yet failed to do the work claimed for it. We use it for 

 everything as it positively will not harm foliage. 



WM. G. SALTFORD, Pokeepsie, N. Y. 



Why not Hsk for a free five pound trial sample ; it's convincing ; it only costs you the express charge. It's no new 

 t.Tngled thing, hundreds write of it like Mr. Wm. G. Saltford. Our booklet tells how to fumigate a house 100x25 feet 

 with it for fifteen cents. The H. A. Stoothoff Company, no West Street, New York City, N. Y. 



CUT FLOWER MARKET REPORTS. 

 Business in St. 

 ST. PAUL AND Paul and Minne- 

 MINNEAPOLIS apolis lias been a 

 little better the 

 past week. Notwithstanding Lent, 

 there are many reasons why the flower 

 trade should be fair, and no matter 

 what the season may be, funerals must 

 have flowers. So after all, the florists 

 manage to keep busy. Stock of all 

 kinds is plentiful now. In carnations, 

 Lawson and Enchantress lead, but 

 roses of every description are in such 

 abundance that they really have no j 

 leader. Tulips, sweet peas, violets and j 

 all small stock are very good, and 

 among the larger flowers Harrisii and 

 callas are supreme. A few high grade 

 snap-dragons are to be had at high 

 prices. 



Business has been 

 WASHINGTON considerably better 

 than during the first 

 weeks of Lent. Contrary to custom, 

 we had beautiful weather for St. Pat- 

 rick's day, which was really the first 

 good day in a week. This partly ac- 

 counts for the very good trade, as by 

 5 P. M., there were no Beauties to be 

 bought in town, and very few violets 

 and carnations.

The official zoologist of the State of 

 Pennsylvania says he has tried all of 

 the remedies sold under patent or 

 fancy name for the destruction of San 

 Jose scale, and says none of them are 

 as good as the lime-sulphur wash. 

 Salt is not necessary, but will do no 

 harm. It causes the spraying appa- 

 ratus, especailly the nozzles, to wear 

 out much faster, and does not make 

 the liquid stick much better, if any. 

 His recipe in brief is: Twenty-two 

 pounds fresh stone lime and 17 pounds 

 flowers of sulphur boiled together one 

 hour. Add enough water to make 50 

 gallons. Apply any time before the 

 buds burst.
