SHELF BRACKETS 



^This is the time of the year that your greenhouses are "loaded 

 to the doors " with stock of all kinds. 



^You need space— all kinds of it. 



flA few shelves along purlin supports or gutter posts will add 

 many square feet of available space at a very small cost. 



^Considering the investment, you can make big money. 



^We have all sizes of Shelf Brackets in stock and can ship 

 at once.

The Market. 



The cold and dark weather has caused 

 a decrease in the rose supply, but carna- 

 tions are plentiful and bulbous stock is 

 coming along nicely. Plenty of violets 

 and sweet peas were to be had for Valen- ■ 

 tine's day, but Easter lilies were lim- 

 ited in numbers. Plants of all kinds 

 are of good quality, especially cyclamens 

 and primroses, and they find a ready 

 market. 



The coal problem has made some of 

 the florists uneasy, both as to prices and 

 scarcity of fuel. Those who seemingly 

 had enough fuel to last through the win- 

 ter find themselves low, even at this 

 early date. 



The last few days of zero weather 

 have caused not a little loss among the 

 greenhousemen. 



The Crabb & Hunter Floral Co. store, 

 which has been in the hands of the 

 Grand Rapids Trust Co. for the last two 

 years, has been purchased by George F. 

 Crabb and Miss Jessie Crabb, who will 

 continue the business under the name 

 of Crabb & Hunter Floral Shop. 



Eli Cross had a slight loss of stock 

 from a freeze out the night of February 

 11, when the thermometer registered 10 

 below. 



W. L. Cukerski is running for city 

 commissioner under the new charter. 



Charles Patters is cutting some fine 

 Bassett carnations. 



L. Kunst has been cutting heavily of 

 Purity freesias. A. F. C.

George L. Stillman was elected a di- 

 rector of the Westerly Automatic Tele-

Louis J. Reuter was a business visitor 

 to New York last week. 



Conrad Schultz made a trip to Provi- 

 dence last week. He has leased the 

 store formerly conducted by Louis P. 

 Rankin.

best resist rot or decay. The "Keystone" brani 

 of White Cedar Plant Tubs are made of this cele- 

 brated wood, and these goods are painted inside 

 and out with best oil paints, a rich green. 



They are bound with heavy steel hoops for the large 

 size, and electric-welded wire hoops (galyanized) 

 on the small size. The large sizes are trimmed 

 with handsome drop handles and metal feet, and 

 hare perforated, remoyable bottoms. 



These Cedar Tubs are made in all sizes, from 24K 

 inches top diameter down to 6 inches, amply large 

 for a Bay Tree and small enough for a Hyacinth. 

 Every one guaranteed. Booklet in colors, with 

 prices, furnished upon request.
