The Market. 



The warm weather has increased the 

 receipts of cut flowers and plants, the 

 latter including hydrangeas, rhododen- 

 drons and bulbous stock. The increased 

 supplies have resulted in a recession of 

 prices on some items. Geraniums have 

 kmade their appearance, but apparently 

 they will not be plentiful. Boses, Easter 

 lilies and callas are good. Carnations 

 are abundant. 



Various Notes. 



A florists' business has been started 

 at 707 Broad street under the name of 

 Benson & Co. Those interested are Wil- 

 liam Benson, K. Catsephos and John 

 Dowrakos. 



John Blakely, of Elizabeth, says busi- 

 ness has never been better than this 

 year. There seems to be more money 

 about, he says. Potted plants have ex- 

 perienced a large sale during the last 

 few months. 



Charles Stamberg has opened a store 

 at 554 Orange street. He calls himself 

 the Eoseville Florist. R. B. M. 



GERANIUM SOUi TOO RICH. 



I am sending under separate cover 

 a sample of my Ricard geraniums. There 

 seems to be something wrong with 

 them, but I have not been able to de- 

 termine what it is. Other geraniums 

 in the same bed as yet are not affected 

 and S. A. Nutt and King Edward in a 

 bed right next to this are all right. 

 Can you tell me the cause of this 

 trouble? E. G. P.— O. 



The plant was frozen when received. 

 It had the appearance of a healthy 

 plant, with good active roots, and 

 seemed to be unusually vigorous. Per- 

 haps you are growing your plants in 

 too rich soil. I would suggest that 

 you add some more sand to your soil, 

 to give it porosity; also a little fine 

 bone. Rather than use rotted manure, 

 use a 4-inch pot of fine bone to a bushel 

 of loam. This will promote a stocky, 

 sturdy growth and make the plants 

 more floriferoiis. C. W. 



Springfield, III. — Ilembrciker & Cole 

 have made plans to enlarge their range 

 here this spring. 



Ogden, Utah. — F. J. Hendershot has 

 noted tliat the bone refuse from the 

 local million-dollar packing house is 

 shipped east to be ground and then 

 shipped back to the florists here. He 

 thinks he will save a part of it the thou- 

 sand-mile journey by putting in a small 

 grinding plant.

Our Bands are creased to the exact shape by a machine, and you may lock them by 

 removing the V, or If you prefer you don't need to use the lock. 



Our Pots are considered the best on the market, they lock and stay locked, the sides 

 will positively not come open or the bottom drop out. Our Pota and Bands stand In 

 a class by themselves. They are no relation to the common strip of paper, or the 

 twist of the wrist pot and band. 



HERK IS THE PROOF 



A copy of a letter received from a lartje uwr of Bands and Pots: "Gentlemen: Pleas*' send us 

 Haniplt's of your Lock-Pro< ess Dirt Bands and Pots. I liave had some unploaHant (>xporlenco with 

 so-called Dirt Bands and Pots that are really nothing but strips of paper." Another party writes: 

 "Please send us some of your Pots that the Trade Is speaklnt; so much about " 



In oi'derlnK, please stat<' Freight or Kxi)re8s. Wo ship the same day we receive your older.
