TUNLIN PAINT=We are BEST 



Our paint is especially adapted to g^reenhoused. 



The florists say we put the stuff in it. Anyway we pride ourselves on making 

 a paint that will wear and withstand the exacting grreenhouse conditions. 



The Moisture Will Not Get Under the Paint 



The cost of the paint is small compared with the cost of the labor for putting it 

 on; therefore why not use the best paint for the purpose, which several years' 

 experience with g^reenhouses has proven to be Tunlin ? 



Dries hard — has considerable spread — easily applied — durable — cheapest — 

 BECAUSE it DOES the work. 



Present price, per single gallon, $2.30. 

 6 gallons or more, $2.20 per gallon.

The Market. 



Wholesale cut flower market condi- 

 tions did not improve any last week, but 

 there was considerably more stock at 

 the wholesale houses. The retailers say 

 it has been a dull summer so far in all 

 lines, except in funeral work, which 

 really is the only thing that gives them 

 something to do. The wholesalers re- 

 port conditions as being poorer this sea- 



son than in many previous years. Asters 

 and gladioli completely dominate the 

 market. Asters are in excellent de- 

 mand, the best of them bringing $3 per 

 hundred. All colors command attention 

 because of the scarcity of carnations. 

 Of these the field stock has been almost 

 burned by the dry, hot weather of the 

 last three weeks. Gladiolus spikes have 

 held up in price better this summer than 

 in any of the previous summers. Extra 

 fancy stock is holding up to $4 per hun-
