Patented April 11, 1916. 



Make your plants complete. Displaying plants in a bare pot has become offensive to the eye, and when you can 

 give that last touch of completeness at so small a cost by using BEST- OP-ALL pot covers there is no excuse for 

 sending out unfinished goods. 



5 BEST-OF-ALL pot covers come in five sizes to fit standard pots. S

H. A. Boardman, proprietor of the 

 Riverside Greenhouse, of St. Paul, who 

 is a member of the Middle West Agri- 

 cultural and Horticultural Association, 

 which held a three days' conference 

 at the Art Institute last week. Mrs. 

 Boardman made an address on the sub- 

 ject of greenhouse management as an 

 occupation for women. And she should 

 know all about it, for she has been suc- 

 cessful at it. 



Various Notes. 



There will be the usual sales of lilies 

 in the department stores the three days 

 preceding Easter and it will keep the 

 market from being glutted with short 

 «tock. It has been found the cheaper 

 class of department stores can and will 

 take and sell all the pot lilies of fair 

 quality offered at 16 cents to 18 cents 

 and it affords the growers an outlet 

 independent of the wholesale cut flower 

 market. The department store buyers 

 do not seem to mind if the plants were 

 grown in benches and were potted while 

 in flower, the day before delivery. 



After being associated with A. C. 

 Spencer for some time, Ed Hauswirth 

 is making a start in business for him- 

 self at Fort Wayne, Ind. The refrigera- 

 tor department of the A. L. Bandall 

 Co. is building a handsome box for the 

 new store. 



Joseph Kohout has assumed the man- 

 agement of the Meredith Flower & 

 Vegetable Co., Liberty ville. III,, in ad- 

 dition to the responsibilities of his own 

 establishment. The two places are 

 about two miles apart, on the same 

 car line. 



The Mrs. Russell plants at Union 

 Grove promise a splendid cut in May 

 and look so well in general that they 

 will be kept going without rest so long 

 as they can be kept in their present 

 condition, says Richard Salm. 



The steady and almost rapid growth 

 of the telegraph delivery phase of the 

 business is commented on by W. J. 

 Smyth, who says he has found it worth 

 while to give such orders special atten- 

 tion as a means for keeping them com- 

 ing. He says the man who lets such an 

 order fall down for any reason is block- 

 ing the wheels of progress.
