Tlie Market. 



Last week saw a slight change in the 

 market, the first that has been noticed 

 for some months. Up until now stock 

 has been too plentiful, and a great 

 amount of it has been wasted, but the 

 latter part of last week found the mar- 

 ket tightening up considerably. As yet 

 there has been no frost, but the heavy 

 rains of the last few days have spoiled 

 nearly all the outdoor stock for the 

 time being. Gladioli have stopped ar- 

 riving in such large quantities as be- 

 fore, and asters are nearly exhausted. 

 Calendulas, zinnias, bachelor's buttons, 

 etc., are still good in quality, and dah- 

 lias are just commencing to reach nor- 

 mal. The first small outdoor mums 

 have appeared and, though the quality 

 has not been particularly good, they 

 have moved well. Business has been 

 rather slow as usual, with the excep- 

 tion of Saturdays, which make up for 

 the rest of the week. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Edith Connors, of the Ohio Flo- 

 ral Co., was married last week to Frank 

 Kelley. 



Al Heil, formerly with the Jones & 

 Eussell Co., is now working for Al Bar- 

 ber at the Park Flower Shop. 



Miss Hester Getz, of Westman & 

 Getz, has purchased a new Dodge tour- 

 ing car, which she is learning to run.

CHARCOAL 



Shows good profits 



In Pots and Beds 



The fertilizer value of charcoal in pots and beds 

 is considerably greater in proportion to cost 

 than any other single substance known. 



In the proportion of one bushel of charcoal (ex- 

 tra fine. si7e 20 > mixed with 16 bushels of earth, 

 charcoal facilitates drainage, equalizes soil 

 moisture, gives ventilation and supplies carbon 

 dioxide, nitrogen and other gases necessary for 

 plant nourishment. 



'OLE PIT Charcoal is hearth-burned, hardwood, 

 pure and clean. It retains its full chemical 

 Qualities, which retort- burned charcoal does 

 not.

A GkziBg fntty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and inyestigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITB. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITB 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITB to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITB our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all kinds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
