did Easter trade and plenty of advance 

 orders for planting out. 



Miss L. Doussard, Grimm & Gorly and 

 August Mirring, florists of East St. 

 Louis, 111., all report a good season's 

 business. 



The Alton Floral Co., Joseph Krug 

 and Miss Dietschey, Alton, 111., who 

 buy supplies in St. Louis, say they are 

 experiencing a busy season in plants and 

 flowers. 



The publicity committee, May 2, do- 

 nated, in the name of the St. Louis 

 florists, several large boxes of cut flow- 

 ers, to be sold at the Caruso concert 

 for the benefit of the orphan children of 

 Italy. The flowers were contributed by 

 the St. Louis Wholesale Cut Flower Co., 

 the W. C. Smith Wholesale Floral Co., 

 H. G. Berning and the Windier Whole- 

 sale Floral Co. J. J. B.

Business is holding up well in this 

 section. We had the best Easter ever. 



The interest of the people has been 

 aroused through the use of stereopticon 

 views showing the benefits to be derived 

 from the use of a few plants and seeds 

 and describing their properties. 



The F. T. D. business showed a large 

 increase over previous Easters in both 

 incoming and outgoing orders. 



Eyan & Powers have added a new de- 

 livery car to their service.

The Market. 



Cloudy weather has held flowers back 

 somewhat during the last week, but 

 there has been a sufficient supply for the 

 after-Easter trade. Prices continue high, 

 though not so high as they were during 

 the Easter trade. The sale of seeds is 

 increasing, as is the trade in hardy rose 

 bushes and stock for spring bedding. 



Various Notes. 



A patent has been issued to Fred J. 

 Mead for a greenhouse bench. 



Philips Bros, report considerable wed- 

 ding work since Easter. The Easter 

 trade was the best they ever had, prac- 

 tically all of their large stock being 

 cleaned out. 



Ed Schuerman, formerly with Philips 

 Bros., is at Atlantic City on his wedding 

 trip. He married Miss M. Finter, of this 

 city. E. B. M. 



Scranton, Pa. — George E. Clark & Co. 

 have a unique place, on the order of a 

 universal provider, where one may ob- 

 tain practically anything that is used 

 in connection with Mother Earth. Thus 

 it is not surprising to learn that trade is 

 good.

Plow just the same; 

 the Skinner System 

 is not in the way 



NEITHER plowing nor cultivation is interfered 

 with. The posts are easily set up high enough 

 to plow right under. 



Or, you can suspend the line on a wire cable with 

 A-shaped supports at the ends. 



Right now we are selling a lot of the lines with the 

 pipe included all drilled and equipped with nozzles. 

 It may cost you a bit more to buy it that way, but 

 when you come to figure your men's time in drilling, 

 and tapping of the pipe and the bother there is in 

 doing it right, you'll find it's quite as cheap to buy 

 it all complete. 



Send for prices both ways and figure it out yourself.
