DULTTTH, MENIT. 



Thie Market. 



With Easter just a week away, every- 

 body is busy preparing for the great 

 day, with the expectation of a busy 

 week-end. There will be no shortage 

 of stock this Easter, as there seems to 

 be a large supply of evervthing. 



Stock last week was plentiful, with 

 an oversupply of carnations and the 

 prices down to pre-war times. Boses 

 were not in large supply, but there were 

 quite enough for the business done. 

 Spring flowers, including daffodils, free- 

 sias, tulips, narcissi and hyacinths, were 

 in good supply. Sweet peas are good 

 property and sell well. Mignonette and 

 calendulas of good quality are also ar- 

 riving. Violets, both single and double, 

 are in ample supply and are used chiefly 

 for corsage work. Easter lilies and 

 callas are in great demand. Asparagus 

 plumosus was scarce last week. 



In potted plants there is a good col 

 lection of primulas, cinerarias, genistas 

 hydrangeas and many bulbous plants 

 which make a good selling line. 



In the seed trade things are begin 

 ning to move in fine shape and the out 

 look is that business will be exceedingly 

 good along this line for the next few 

 months. 



Various Notes. 



J. J. Le Borious has a fine batch of 

 Easter lilies, which will be in {)rime 

 condition for Easter. He was a bit 

 doubtful about getting them in on time, 

 but the sunny days of the last week 

 have helped greatly. He also has the 

 finest batch of hydrangeas that has been 

 seen in Duluth for some time. In cut 

 flowers he is cutting some fine carna- 

 tions. 



William Japp has some fine lilies and 

 bulbous stock. J. E. S.

What Prominent Growers Think 

 About the Standard Recording Thermometer 



Erie, Pa., Dec. 16, 1919. 

 "Please send us another of those ther- 

 mometer clocks, just like the one you 

 sent us about two weeks ago. We 

 would never be without one again."

The actuating element of the Standard Record- 

 ins Thermometer is of lamina metal, which, be- 

 sides being extremely sensitive to temperature 

 changes, is practically indestructible. Record 

 charts are furnished either daily or weekly, and 

 the whole mechanism is contained in an attractive 

 metal case fitted with lock and key, which insures 

 tlie record from being tampered with. 



The clock movement is of extremely high grade; 

 everything about the instrument is up to the high- 

 est possible standard of manufacture.
