A satisfied customer is the best AD" 



Mr. C. H. Rockwell, of Enterprise, W. Va., writes: 



"As to your gutter, I have not yet seea any gutter made that will duplicate 

 it. Your gutter I have in use shows no sign of a leak. I have two styles of 

 gutters made by other firms and they are now leaking bad and no way to remedy 

 them." 



We are the patentees and sole manufacturers of this 



11 T LEAK- PROOF gutter which is giving so much satisfaction.

The Market. 



The Easter excitement is over and 

 everyone has more time. A distressing 

 feature of the holiday business was the 

 discrepancy in prices. Combined effort 

 on the part of the commission men set 

 a uniform price on lilies. A pre-Easter 

 prediction made by a salesman that 

 lilies would sell for $50 per hundred 

 was noted with regret; another gave 

 publicity to the fact that lilies would 

 sell at $9 per dozen retail. The former 

 kept the storeman from buying; the 

 latter took all the pep out of the public. 



The market conditions are slow, 

 Eoses are plentiful and of good quality. 

 Sweet peas are poor, many large con- 

 cerns in this district claim they have 

 good peas, but no pickers. Lilies are 

 now selling near their real value and 

 are of little use except for church deco- 

 rations or funeral work. Daffodils are 

 slowly disappearing and the same may 

 be said of tulips and hyacinths. "Vio- 

 lets are through. Carnations are plen- 

 tiful and can be had at normal prices. 



Greens are not overplentiful, but 

 much easier than at Easter, when many 

 retailers were caught short and had to 

 send their late cut flower orders out 

 without green. Sunday morning a car- 

 load arrived from the south. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell is having a big call for 

 southern sniilax. Easter business was 

 the best ever. 



H. W. Sheppnrd is kept busy with 

 wedding decorations, several of the 

 more recent ones calling for exception- 

 ally fine and elaborate work. 



Jiilius Baer says funeral work is the 

 most dependable business after all.
