 fine automobile delivery during the 

 last week.

 Co., on Lafayette avenue, will open a 

 branch store at 2318 South Grand ave- 

 nue some time this month. 



Michalo Dratchuer, who was em- 

 ployed by Grimm & Gorley, killed 

 himself on Sunday, Feb. 2nd, by shoot- 

 ing, the cause being a disappointment 

 in a love affair.

 Kirkwood, and his wife, found a burg- 

 lar in their bedroom, who shot Mrs.

 condition. The burglar escaped.

The La Follette Bill now pending in 

 Congress which looks to limiting the 

 hours of female labor in all stores, 

 factories, commercial and other estab- 

 lishments in the District of Columbia 

 to eight hours per day anil six days 

 per week is meeting with considerable 

 disfavor by local members of the 

 trade, on account of the needs of the 

 florist business and the necessity of 

 women performing extra work some- 

 times in excess of eight hours. The 

 law would absolutely prohibit women 

 from working any time in excess of 

 the stipulated eight hours and provides 

 for three inspectors who would have 

 access to the books of all concerns 

 to ascertain the rate of wage paid, 

 hours of labor, etc.

Fertilize for Fruit, 

 Not for Foliage 



A study of the formulas of fertilizers often 

 recommended for fruits would give the idea 

 that foliage and rapid growth is what you seek. 

 The most of them lack fruit-producing 



POTASH 



Any fertilizer for fruits should contain at least 12 per cent. 

 available Potash. The only Potash Salts that are safe for 

 citrus fruits are Sulfate of Potash and Sulfate of Potash 

 Magnesia {^double manure salt). 



Apnlications of such a fertilizer should bcRin at planting and 

 continue during tiie life of the tree. It means earlier and loner 

 bearing, larger yields, better prades and shipping quality, and a 

 hard. sohd. growth of wood. In all these ways Potash Pays. 



If your deali-r do?sn't carry 12 per cent. Potash brands or 

 Potash Salts, write to us for pric.-s. \Vc will snil any amount from 

 a 2i)0-lb bag. up. Write now for fertilizer formulas and how to 

 make them for Fruit Culture, and special free pamphlet. Orange
