If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could 

 into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for 

 our customers. 



Yes, it would be an easy matter to skimp here and substitute there, and gloss over in 

 another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do business that 

 way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer? 



Figure it out for yourself and then write us your needs. :

The Market. 



There has not been much change in 

 market conditions during the last week. 

 There has been a surfeit of rain and 

 we have had some frosts. Stock is in 

 fine condition and business in general 

 has shown a marked increase. 



Better carnations are arriving in 

 larger quantities each day. The quality 

 shows a big improvement and the stems 

 are gradually becoming longer. The 

 demand remains strong and the daily 

 eut is being cleaned up readily at good 

 prices. Hoses are in the market in 

 large quantities, but the demand is just 

 aa large as the supply, so that there 

 is no surplus, and prices are good. 

 Mums are coming in more heavily and 

 are selling exceptionally well. Yellow 

 is in great demand and its supply is 

 light as yet. Prices range from $1.50 

 for small stock to $4 per dozen for 

 fancy stock. 



Valley still is scarce and the quality 

 ia only medium. Prices remain steady 

 at $6 for first quality. Lilies are in 

 short supply and the daily cut is be- 

 ing _ moved readily. There is a fair 

 quantity of orchids, which are disposed 

 of at good prices. Sweetheart roses 

 are in good demand and seem to be 

 finding favor with the general trade. 



Various Notes. 



Adolph Bice, with the Holton & Hun- 

 kel Co., was presented with a bouncing 

 baby girl Saturday, October 7. This is 

 the second occasion of this sort at his 

 home and of course he is highly elated, 

 although he privately says that he 

 wanted a boy. 



Olaf Olson, of Holm & Olson, St. 

 Paul, visited our city Monday, October 

 9. Mr. Olson has a son attending the 

 military academy at Delafield, Wis., 

 and stopped off there for a short while. 

 He then went on to Chicago. 



E. J. Fancourt, with the S. S. Pen- 

 Bock-Meehan Co., Philadelphia, visited 

 the local trade Saturday, October 14. 



W. M. Maas is recovering from an 

 infection of the face, which has both-

 at first, later it developed and infected
