UP-TO-DATE GREENHOUSES 



must be lasting, convenient and efficient. They must be constructed 

 in accordance with the principles which have been approved by knowl- 

 edge and experience. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing 

 business for many years and our experience is at your disposal. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Market. 



Conditious are about normal for this 

 time of the year. Following Memorial 

 day, prices have dropped considerably. 

 Sweet peas were hard hit by the ex- 

 tremely warm weather last week and 

 carnations and roses also suffered from 

 it. Carnations had to be good stock 

 to bring $2 and $3 per hundred. Peo- 

 nies were at their height, both in qual- 

 ity and quantity. There was little de- 

 mand for callas and Easter lilies. Bed- 

 ding stock sold exceedingly well last 

 week and large quantities of outdoor 

 stock were on the market. Out-of- 

 town business was satisfactory. 



Various Notes. 



George C. Shaffer is out of town on 

 a trip in connection with the Kiwanis 

 Club. 



Fred Leapley is at home again after 

 having an operation performed. He ex- 

 pects to be able to take charge of his 

 place of business within a short time. 

 His brother, Lawrence Leapley, has 

 shown kind interest in the business dur- 

 ing Mr. Leapley 's absence.

 ord. This record is played at the dif- 

 ferent stores during the day and the 

 public has shown much interest in the 

 movement. 



Children 's day was observed in the 

 churches of this city Sunday, June 13. 

 Much decorating work was required 

 and the florists were called upon to sup- 

 ply large quantities of flowers for the 

 occasion. The decorations in the 

 churches could not be praised too 

 highly. G. V. S.
