PROMPT DELIVERY 



is especially important at this time of the year. We can 

 ship your orders, either for new work or for repairs, with- 

 out delay. 



Our new patented "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 has been good. The market 

 is well supplied with fine stock, espe- 

 cially in chrysanthemums. Bamapo, 

 Golden Glow, Major Bonnaffon, Polly 

 Rose, Pacific Supreme, October Frost, 

 Smith's Advance and Early Snow are 

 the varieties arriving and all are of 

 good quality, while the quantity equals 

 the demand. Pompons, too, have shown 

 improvement. Carnations are coming 

 in larger supply and the quality is bet- 

 ter. Roses are in abundance. Easter 

 lilies are holding their own and are in 

 demand for funeral work. Rubrum and 

 potted rubrum lilies sell well. 



The first part of last week was colder, 

 with snow flurries, and business showed 

 an increase. 



Various Notes. 



The coal shortage will not affect the 

 florists here, as most of them report 

 that they have secured their supplies. 



The Hill View Gardens had a rush 

 of funeral work last week. 



The Heiss Co. had an order for two 

 bouquets of Ramapo chrysanthemums 

 last week. Each bouquet contained 

 fifty flowers, for which $5 per dozen 

 was received. 



Harry Tredway reports au increase 

 in business, witli much funeral work. 



The Dayton Floral Co. had a number 

 of decorations last week, the largest of 

 which was in Memorial hall, where Lord 

 Northcliffe presented Orville Wright 

 with a medal. G. J. F. 



FARGO, N. D., MOORHEAD, MINN. 



The Shotwell Floral Co., Fargo, has 

 been having a rush of business, wed- 

 ding and funeral work predominating. 

 Shipments to 4;iearby towns also have 

 been numerous. The company is dis- 

 playing good quality mums in all col- 

 ors and some excellent pompons, grown 

 in its own greenhouses. Dutch bulbs 

 have been received and are selling rap- 

 idly. 



T. D. Smedley, of Fargo, had a pretty 

 window recently, mums in baskets be- 

 ing featured with goldfish and aqua- 

 riums. Funeral work and counter trade 

 have kept the staff busy. 



J. W. Briggs, of Moorhead, reports 

 business as being excellent. A. G. 



Mnd Greenhouses 



KEEP SUMMER with You the WHOLE YEAR ROUND 



On account of their sturdy special construction, which permits of great strensth 

 without the need of heavy, shadow-casiine supports, these houses are so warm and 

 sunny that they are filled with a riot of bloom and fruit when Jack Frost has stripped 

 the garden of its beauty. 



The ventilating and heating systems are the results of years of experience in 

 building for professional growers. Things just have to grow in a King.
