THE BEST RED CARNATION 



Plants in 8^-inch pots, ready £or bench or field 



WINNER of the Silver Medal of the American Carnation Society, at Buffalo, 1915; also WINNER of the SAME 

 MEDAL in the same class at ST. LOUIS, 1916; also of Silver Medal of S. A. F. and 0. H., at St. Louis, 

 1916. The color is a most brilliant red. The size of the flower is 3^j inches. Stems 24 to 36 inches long, 

 strong and stiff. We have never had a burst calyx, all flowers grading flrsts; and, best of all, it is a constant 

 bloomer, giving a steady run of flowers equal in number to the Enchantress family. 



Trice o! 2i-inch plants is $12.00 per 100, $100.00 per 1000. We will bill 500 at the 1000 rate

The Market. 



The market is good; that is, from the 

 wholesalers' standpoint. All kinds of 

 cut stock are short of the demand, ex- 

 cepting lilies. Carnations are of fine 

 quality and bring $8 to $4 per hundred. 

 A few peonies from the southern states 

 are arriving and are quickly picked up. 

 Irises, Darwin tulips and baby gladioli 

 find a ready sale. The market is prac- 

 tically exhausted of pot plants. A few 

 good hydrangeas and spira;as are left 

 for the Memorial day trade. 



Various Notes. 



C. Merkel & Son, of Mentor, are erect- 

 ing four large houses, which will be 

 planted to roses for cut flowers. The 

 balance of their large range they will 

 continue to devote to their specialties, 

 adiantum and pot plants. 



The bedding out season has been 

 much delayed here. While there has 

 been no frost for the last three weeks, 

 the nights are cold and everything is 

 at a standstill. 



Timothy Smith, in his bright, new 

 store at Forty-sixth street and Euclid 

 avenue, reports business as being fine 

 and greatly exceeding his expectations. 



Walter Mott was a recent visitor, 

 busily selling Benjamin Hammond 's 

 specialties. 



Walter E. Cook, resident representa- 

 tive of the Stumpp & Walter Co., is 

 off on another tour of the west and 

 central states. 



* A few of the boys found time to help 

 Ed Helm open his new bowling alleys. 

 Twenty-eight alleys on one floor, side 

 by side, are quite a sight, and evidently 

 enough for an S. A. F. bowling tourna- 

 ment, without any crowding.

Gardeners Want Raise. 



Some of the fine lawns and beautiful 

 gardens at Newport may go uncared for 

 this summer if their owners do not 

 meet the demands for an increase in 

 pay by the Gardeners ' Assistants ' Asso- 

 ciation. A meeting of the association 

 was held a few evenings ago at which 

 the members voted to ask for an in- 

 crease to $2.50 per day, to take effect 

 June 1. If the advance is not made 

 it is said a strike will be called. The 

 meeting, besides being for the discus- 

 sion of the wage problem, saw the in-
