NEWABK, N. J. 



The Market. 



There has been much cloudy weather 

 lately and this has held flowers back 

 from blooming to such an extent that 

 they have not been coming into the 

 market quite so plentifully as before. 



Carnations were picked closely for 

 Mothers' day and have not been abun- 

 dant since, though a fair quantity is 

 coming into this market. White carna- 

 tions sold as liigh as 25 cents per bloom 

 the day before Mothers ' day. 



Sweet peas are quite plentiful. Out- 

 door lilacs have appeared in the market. 

 Potted geraniums are more plentiful 

 than they have been and large quanti- 

 ties will be sent to the local market be- 

 tween now and Memorial day. 



Various Notes. 



The Washington Florist, 577 Broad 

 street, reports an excellent Mothers ' day 

 business. There has been an active de- 

 mand since then at this store. 



The flower store and greenhouses at 

 596 Central avenue, owned by Henry 

 Hornecker and formerly occupied by 

 Ernest Radany, have been torn down.

CLEVELAND. 



The market remains fairly well 

 cleaned up, though stock arrived a little 

 more freely the latter part of the week. 



Roses of fine quality are beginning to 

 arrive in quantity. Killarney, Russell, 

 Columbia, Ophelia, Hadley and Ward 

 roses are among the shipments. Ameri- 

 can Beauties have had little call. They 

 have been arriving in all grades and 

 good quality. 



There is little indoor valley in the 

 market and that outdoor-grown cleans 

 up readily. Carnations are scarce, with 

 barely enough to go around. Peas are 

 arriving in quantity and clean up daily 

 at $1.50 to $3 per hundred. 



Tulips are in demand. Lilac is arriv- 

 ing and realizes 50 cents to 75 cents per 

 bunch. Calendulas are cleaning up 

 well. Stocks are in demand. Snapdrag- 

 ons and poeticus are cleaned up daily. 

 Calla and Easter lilies are sold on ar- 

 rival. 



Novelties are in demand. There are 

 some fine yellow daisies, pansies and 

 other novelties. Peonies are arriving 

 from the south and are bringing $6 to 

 $8. The first gladioli of the season were 

 seen last week. W. F. B. 



Akron, O. — Largest Mothers' day 

 ever; many customers turned away; 

 stock scarce. Briefly, that is the com- 

 ment of Hammerschmidt & Clark on the 

 holidav.

Puts certainty 



into field carnation 



uncertainty 



EVERYONE admits that 

 field grown carnations 

 are the best, provided the 

 growing conditions gcan be 

 controlled. 



The most serious question 

 is watering. 



Leastwise, it used to be. 



But that is now all over- 

 come with the Skinner Over- 

 head Watering System. 



Gives the plants water just 

 when needed, and just as 

 much as needed. 



Keeps down thrips. 



Reduces cost of cultiyation, 

 by making less cultiyation 

 necessary. 



Makes soil just right for 

 planting out. 



Makes it exactly right for 

 lifting. 



It certainly does put cer- 

 tainty into field carnation 

 uncertainly. 



Tell us how big a field you 

 have and we'll tell you what 

 it costs to Skinnerize it. 



Whatever it costs, it's 

 more than likely it will pay 

 for' itself the first year.!
