The Market. 



Stormy weather throughout last week 

 reduced the supply of flowers consid- 

 erably. Nevertheless, the supply is 

 almost equal to the demand, carnations 

 and sweet peas being the only items 

 falling short of it. Eoses in the short 

 and medium grades are cleaning up well 

 at $10 to $20 per hundred, while the 

 longs and specials are moving fairly 

 well at $25 to $35 per hundred. Ophelia 

 is especially scarce, as the demand for 

 this rose is heavy. Carnation prices 

 remain unchanged, $8 per hundred be- 

 ing the top figure, with the exception 

 of Laddie, which cleans up well at $15. 

 Sweet peas are in fair supply, but all 

 available stock cleans up every day and 

 much more could be moved. Freesias 

 are plentiful and moving fairly well at 

 $3 to $6 per hundred. The supply of 

 daffodils is now equal to the demand 

 and prices have dropped slightly during 

 the last week. The best blooms are now 

 going at $8 per liundred. Home-grown 

 lily of the valley is. available at $10 

 per hundred. ^4\ 



Potted bulbous pm^ti? daffodils, hya- 

 cinths and tulips, are now ready in fair 

 quantities, but all to be had move read- 

 ily at good prices.

We Will Help You Make Money This Year 



Suppose you have a piece of ground 200 

 feet square, which is almost a square 

 acre? 



On it you can erect 4 rows of posts 50 

 feet apart. Now buy one of the Skinner 

 System sectional . PORTABLE irritra- 

 tion lines. It will ccme to you cut in 18- 

 foot leneths. Between each pipe sec- 

 tion, are our patented QUICK-ACTING 

 couplinRS. Youcan put up a 200-foot line 

 all by yourself in an hour's time. 

 A-200 foot line waters a strip 50x200 feet. 

 After waterioK the first strip, get one of 

 the boys to help you take the line apart 

 at every joint, carry it to the next row 

 of posts, couple it together, and turn on 

 the water. 



The only tool you need is a MONKEY 

 WRENCH. 



That's how to make a single line water 

 an acre of gn und. 



Get your crops insured against dry 

 weather, by putting in AT LEAST ONE 

 LINE THIS SPRING. 



Fill out the coupon, mail it to us, and 

 ■we will tell you exactly how to water 

 your ground at the lowest cost. 

 We suggest one line as a starter, be- 

 cause we believe that most growers 

 will want to make their money go the 

 limit this year, a policy with which we 

 thoroughly agree. At the same time, no 

 grower can afford to take a chance on 

 losing the result of his season's work 

 because of dry weather. 



Use the Skinner System and have
