The Market. 



Market conditions remain about the 

 same as last week, with an ample supply 

 of local stock for all purposes at regular 

 prices. Weather conditions have been 

 somewhat unseasonable, being several 

 degrees above normal in temperature, 

 accompanied by considerable mugginesa. 

 Clirysanthemums are now in good qual- 

 ity and quantity and find ready demand. 

 Zinnias have been showing to good ad- 

 vantage, being a somewhat new offering 

 for this market in such quantities and 

 variety as has been the case this month.

Great Saving in Preparing 

 Land for Carnation Stock 



Following is what Kretschmar Bros., 

 of West Nyack, New York, say of the 

 System: 

 "It has always been a great expense 

 to prepare our land for the carna- 

 tion stock before planting, as each 

 day we would only plow enough for 

 the day's planting so that we could 

 work In moist soil. This also would 

 be all hand raked to get It in the best 

 condition. We can now plow the 

 whole strip and harrow with a spiked 

 tooth harrow and use the Skinner 

 System after each day's planting to 

 water them down."

A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and inyestigatioo 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago. At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 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 PERMANITE 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 PERMANITE 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.
