PITTSBUBGH. 



The Market. 



Conditions since Memorial day have 

 not been all that could be desired. 

 Large quantities of peonies and other 

 stock arrived May 31. There was an 

 avalanche of roses and carnations, so 

 that wholesalers were swamped, and 

 there was no important demand to re- 

 lieve the congestion. The retailers are 

 not complaining, as they are all fairly 

 busy, as well as the plantsmen. The 

 weather is quite cool and frost was re- 

 ported in low places June 2. Shippers 

 of sweet peas suffered a great loss dur- 

 ing the early part of the week on ac- 

 count of the hot weather. 



Various Notes. 



De Forest Ludwig appears to be much 

 improved and since his return has spent 

 most of his time on the farm. He has 

 been cutting large quantities of peonies 

 and fine outdoor valley. 



Mrs. Samuel McClements, who has 

 been ill for some time, was taken to 

 the hospital last week. 



The Florists ' Club met May 30 at the 

 Fort Pitt hotel. Dr. Jennings gave his 

 postponed illustrated lecture on "The 

 Flora of the State of Washington. ' ' 

 Clarke. 



BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



Stock is becoming scarcer every day. 

 Fortunately, there has been no hot 

 weather to create transportation diffi- 

 culties. Planting out has begun in ear- 

 nest, although at this time last year it 

 was completed. Frequent rains and 

 shortage of labor have proved severe 

 drawbacks this season, but it is hoped 

 the work will be completed in time to 

 prevent inconvenience later. 



Various Notes. 



Men continue to enlist and the Dale 

 Estate has been greatly handicapped, 

 fifty per cent of its employees having 

 joined the various regiments going to 

 the front. 



John Calvert, father of W. E. Cal- 

 vert, died suddenly of epilepsy on the 

 morning of June 2. Mr. Calvert was 

 a hearty old Englishman of 70 years 

 and came to this country to assist his 

 son in the greenhouse business about 

 eight years ago. W. G. P.

 ^<5^«^^~:=::r-^ Your Plants — I 



Your customers buy potted plants. Often 

 they wither and die and you are blamed 

 for the failure. It's simply because plant 

 food is lacking. Your customers don't 

 want fertilizers with offensive odors. They 

 need Odorless Fertilo that does not mar 

 the fragrance of the flowers. Just the material 

 for Lawns, Flowers, Shrubs and Small Gardens. 

 You can sell several cans of OdorlesB Tertilo 

 to each customer who buys potted plants and 

 several bags to those with gardens. Make them 

 more successful and they will become flower 

 enthusiasts, 



FERTILO is nature's pure plant food and com- 

 bines all the essential elements required by 

 plant life: Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, Bone, 

 Phosphate of Lime and Potash. Makes the 

 necessary Humus for enriching the soil and is 

 also an excellent Insecticide. 



FERTILO is odorless, will not get hard and 

 lumpy. Put up in handy containers in 1 and 6-lb. 

 sizes, and in 10 and SO-lb. bags. Tbe 1-lb. pack- 

 age will fertilize 10 gallons of eartb for potted 

 plants or 60 sq, ft. of surface. Retails for 26c. 

 Full and simple directions printed on each 

 package. 



Florists, truckers and landscape gardeners 

 recommend Odorless Fertilo. 



Send us 6c in stamps to cover pottage and we will send 

 you free sample of the 1-lb. package, togreiher with full 

 particulars, and quote you our liberal terms to florists.
