Burpee's Seeds^Phlladelphia 



A postal addressed as above will bring you Burpee's Farm Annual for 1903,— if you intend to buy Burpee's Seeds,— 

 otherwise the price is ten cents, which is less than cost per copy in quarter-million editions. It is an elegant book of 154 pages, besides 

 beautiful colored plates, and tells the plain truth about the Best Seeds that Grow. Better write TO-DAY ! Do not Delay ! 



BLUE LIST OF- WHOLESALE PBICeS MAILED ONLY TO THOSE WHO PLANT FOB PROFIT 



PITTSBURG. 



Various Items. 



Last week we experienced a week of 

 very cold weather. The demand for 

 good stock was brisk and a general clean- 

 ing up occurred almost every day. 



Bulbous stock is overplentiful. The 

 demand for it is slow and it can be 

 bought at your own prices. Lilies have 

 been in fair supply. Ro.ses are very 

 plentiful, with quite a lot of specials 

 and extras in Maids and Brides. White 

 and colored carnations are more in eW- 

 dence again and are moving out very 

 well. For market prices see wholesale 

 cut flower quotations in this issue. 



The party of fifteen which attended 

 the Carnation Society Convention in 

 Brooklyn has returned. 



Some ver}- fine Freesias and tulips arc 

 being sent in by Wm. Lauch. 



The Pittsburg Rose & Carnation Co. 

 (Fred Burki) are cutting fine Maids and 

 Brides. 



It will be carnation night at the next 

 meeting of the Florists' Club, Tuesday 

 evening, March .3. New varieties from 

 home and distant growers will be shown. 

 Members, you cannot afford to miss this 

 meeting. 



Fred Burki is receiving bids for a 

 large rose house to be erected at his 

 new plant at Bakerstown, Pa. 



Ml. M. Bunting, of Cheswick, Pa., con- 

 templates the erection of a number of 

 carnation houses. 



John Baldinge;-. of T. M. Ulam & Co.. 

 is able to be at work again. 



David Geddis. of 1713 Carson street, 

 S. S., was down east last week, looking 

 up Easter novelties. Hoo-Hoo. 



ANTS. 



If William Scott will prepare a mix- 

 ture of sixty grains corrosive chloride 

 of mercury to one ounce of lard — thor- 

 oughly and completely mixing them — • 

 he or anyone will have a complete "Death 

 to Ants." Msany ounces may be needed 

 to kill all of them in a greenliouse, as 

 every post must have a circle of the 

 poisoned grease; and every corner or 

 crevice between boards and Ijctween 

 boards and posts must also have a nar- 

 row line of the poison. Ants can't cross 

 the grease and live. 



A circle of the poisoned grease around 

 the legs of a table or bench in a cellar in- 

 fested with ants will be a complete pro- 

 tection to provisions stored there. Fur- 

 niture and apartments treated in like 

 manner can be readily cleared of bed- 

 bugs. Several applications may be ne- 

 cessary, but as long as the grease is vis- 

 ible the poison is active. Of course such 

 an active poison will kill mice, cats or 

 any creature that eats it.
