The Market. 



Stimulated by the annual chrysan- 

 themum exhibition of the Rhode Island 

 Horticultural Society, which was held 

 in the parlors of the Narragansett hotel 

 last week, business for that week has 

 shown a substantial improvement over 

 the two preceding ones. Mums are far 

 more active than for a number of years, 

 there being an increasing demand for 

 the big single blooms that bring 50 

 cents to $1 apiece. Those retailing at 

 $2.50 to $6 per dozen move readily and 

 there is also a good demand for the 

 smaller flowers in sprays. 



Roses are in far better quantity and 

 quality, while carnations are consist- 

 ently improving. There has been an 

 increased demand for palms, ferns, 

 decorative foliage and blooming plants 

 at satisfactory prices. Funeral work is 

 about normal for this season, but wed- 

 ding and pre-nuptial demands show 

 considerable improvement. There is an 

 unusually good supply of all kinds of 

 plants and flowers for the Thanksgiving 

 period.

 of Real Value 



•'?'?•- 



In all our experience and investieation 

 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.
