GET SAMPLES 



Send a postal for samples and prices of our square paper locking 

 pots and bands, and when you send your order you will recognize the 

 goods by the samples that you received. They are identically the 

 same and bear no relation to paper strips commonly sold for "pots." 



The Ramsburg Locking Pot 



is a newly patented, high-grade article. It Is made of first quality 

 manila board, and your judgment will quickly show its merits and 

 wearing qualities over common paper. 



Both the Bands and Pots are made of the same material, in many 

 sizes. Your name on a postal for samples. Get the pot that locks.

The Market. 



The increasing quantities of bulb 

 stock now being received are causing a 

 general easing off in prices. Owing to 

 the unusually large number of funerals, 

 business keeps steadily up, so that every- 

 thing in the way of cut flowers is 

 cleaned up daily. Daffodils came into 

 the market last week in a golden flood, 

 but the quantities have been such that 

 there has not been a golden stream re- 

 turning to the coffers of the growers. 

 The wholesale price of daffodils dropped 

 nearly seventy-five per cent.

NOTE.— We can prove that our Pots and Bands are the choice of Florists and Growers that use large quan- 

 tities. They are easy to fold, the side or bottom cannot come apart, it will hold water lonprer than paper 

 or clay potf, and when the pot dries out it is as rigid as the first day you started to use it— not so wiih 

 others. Write us for samples and see for yourself.
