The Rorists' Review 



133 



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.

Valuable Aid 



in Transplanting 



Carnations 



Mr. Arthur Taylor, of Boonton, 

 N. J., writes: 



"The Skinner System is highly 

 valuable in transplanting carna- 

 tions from the field to the green- 

 house. After watering them the 

 nighi before, the soil was in ideal 

 condition so that we could dig the 

 plants up with every root intact. The 

 plants were strong and started right 

 off growing. They have done better 

 than any lot of plants I have ever 

 had."
