PROTECTS YOUR CROP 



It is direct-heat dried and sterilized; weed seeds, grass seeds, fungous and disease germs destroyed in a direct- 

 heat rotary drying process that does not change or destroy any of the valuable elements in crude manure. 



Air dried manures cannot be sterilized and usually carry excess moisture that actually makes them cost more 

 per ton than WIZARD BRAND even at the same or a lower price. 



Look for the vVI'TjlBWk Trade Mark tagged or printed on every bag. If it is not there you are 

 not getting ^.jnKS-^ protection for your crop and pocket book. 



Your dealer can get WIZARD BRAND for you if you insist or we will quote with freight rate on any quan- 

 tity from a bag to a carload promptly.

The Market. 



The continued cool weather has helped 

 counter Bales somewhat, but in general 

 the market is slow. The opinion of 

 some florists is that the cost of living 

 has risen out of proportion to wages, 

 reducing the demand for flowers from 

 the working class to almost nothing, ex- 

 cept for special occasions, when, it is 

 agreed, the buyer is prepared to make 

 an expenditure in proportion to other 

 things. 



The supply of roses is of good quality 

 for this time of the year. Sunburst and 

 Eussell are leading the list. American 

 Beauties have improved in supply and 

 their quality is much better. The aster 

 supply is now limited to those cut out- 

 doors. These are exceedingly short- 

 stemmed. Most of them are only serv- 

 iceable for funeral designs. For vase 

 flowers gladioli lead everything. The 

 advantage of the large-flowered varie- 

 ties has impressed the growers during 

 the last two years so that now few 

 mixed, small-flowered varieties are mar- 

 keted. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Sandiford will figure in the 

 market with a large supply of chrysan- 

 themums, which are coming along in fine 

 shape. 



Karl Butz, of the firm of Thos. Mans- 

 field, Lockport, was in town last week, 

 hunting up a supply of ferns and other 

 stock. 



The S. A. Anderson store, on Elm- 

 wood avenue, is showing a landscape 

 scene in its window. This is the work 

 of John Fiebelkorn. F. P. A.
