EFFICIENT HOUSES 



Our long experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in 

 service, material and workmanship, and the purchaser of ICKES-BRAUN con- 

 struction can invest without a doubt as to the efficiency of his houses. Each detail 

 is perfected and approved — there is no experimenting with your money. 



Our new "LEAK-PROOF" gutter continues to prove its superiority. In a new range of 

 houses recently erected, for which we furnished 11 runs 200 feet long, there was not one 

 single leak noticeable during a downpour which filled the gutter to overflowing. Have you 

 anything similar to show?

The Market. 



Business in general, while not rush- 

 ing, has kept up well, and seems to 

 compare favorably with that of last 

 year. Funeral work has been playing a 

 good part in the total sales. The out- 

 look for the immediate future is not so 

 bad as conditions would seem to 

 make it. 



Roses are coming in plentifully, and 

 the new crop is surely in fine form. The 

 longer stock is moving nicely and the 

 shorter stock is taken up by the trade 

 without much difficulty. There are 

 practically no carnations in the market 

 at this time, and it looks as though the 

 plants for this stock will be particularly 

 scarce. The cut of asters is large, but 

 the supply is moving nicely. The stock 

 is good. Orchids are scarce. The de- 

 mand is fairly strong, though somewhat 

 erratic, and some orders were turned 

 down. Gladioli are extremely plentiful 

 and move slowly. Bargains seem to be 

 in order and prices in consequence are 

 down. 



Valley remains in about the same con- 

 dition, with a good demand and a small 

 percentage of good flowers. Lilies are 

 plentiful, but the surplus is light. This 

 stock is not bringing the prices it 

 should, but the cut is moved.
