The Market. 



Tlu'r(> lias boon tlie avoraf^c siuiiij;- 

 l)nsiiK'ss (luring tlio last week. Prices 

 have been loasonable, and the supply 

 coming into the market is adequate. 

 Growers held their carnations to make 

 a big cut for Mothers' day and expect 

 a large demand for them the last part 

 of the week. With Memorial day ap- 

 j)roaching, growers are getting their bed- 

 ding stock ready for market. Already 

 tliere is considerable cemetery work for 

 the ilorists located near the cemeteries. 

 There also has been considerable funeral 

 work. 



Roses are coming in good supjdy and 

 are of good quality. Violets still are 

 jdentiful, and ])ansies are coming in large 

 quantities. There are some fine Piaster 

 lilies in the market. Each week sees a 

 smaller su])ply of distinctly sjiring stock. 



Various Notes. 



George Gill has oi)ened a retail store 

 at 1168 East Jersey street, Elizabeth. 



D. E. Davis, of Grove street, East 

 Orange, has a fine lot of potted geraniums 

 for Memorial dav trade. R. B. M. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



Business has been quiet during tlie 

 last two weeks, with stock rather jden- 

 tiful in most lines. Roses are coming in 

 satisfactorily and as a rule are cleaned 

 up fairly well. Ophelia and Russell 

 roses are the best sellers, with Stanley a 

 close third. White Killarney and Kil- 

 larney roses are of fair quality, but the 

 demand is light. Carnations are not ex- 

 cessively plentiful, but the demand is 

 weak at this writing. Lilies are in 

 larger sup]>ly, as are snapdragons, but 

 the demand for these is far from robust. 

 Sweet peas are selling well and the qual- 

 ity keeps up. Valley is scarce at this 

 time, but outdoor stock will soon be in. 

 Some fine outdoor tuli|)s are arriving, 

 but they are experiencing a quiet spell. 



There is a scarcity of good ]iotted 

 ]ilants at ])resent, th(> |)iincipal excep- 

 tion being hydrangeas. The cold 

 weather has j)ut a damper on the sale 

 of ]dants for porch boxes, etc., and the 

 indications arc that the business will 

 come in a luni|i, although it is likely 

 that sales will be lighter this season on 

 account of the mo\enient for larger 

 vegetable production. All the florists 

 have about the same opinion. They 

 say that orders are coming in lightly 

 for window box stock. Prices may have 

 something to do with this, as they have 

 been advanced on nearly all bedding 

 plants. J. M.

A New 

 It's Leak 



IT'S easy enough to say a ridge 

 ^ is tight. 



It's easy enough to say that 

 the leak drips are condensation. 



It's easy enough to finally de- 

 clare that no one can make an 

 absolutely leakless ridge when 

 ventilating sash are used on both 

 sides. 



With a hard, beating, wind- 

 driven rain, we doubt if it's pos- 

 sible to shut out every drop. But 

 if any ridge is practically leak 

 tight, this one of ours is. 



That angle-shaped groove 

 prevents the water from creeping 

 in. When it strikes that groove

it drops on to the vent sash. If 

 every part of the sash could 

 be held as snug and tight as at 

 the hinges, there would be no 

 leaks. 



To overcome this, we mill the 

 main part of the ridge with a 

 special curve. The sash is also 

 curve milled. 



When the curve of the sash 

 strikes the curve of the ridge, a 

 leverage is produced that sort of 

 pries tight shut every inch of the 

 sash ' s length . Everyone who has 

 it, says it is absolutely tight. 



You know we go anywhere for 

 business. Or to talk business.

 Transplanting 



Following is an extract from a 

 letter received from H, Walternian 

 & Son. of Joplin, Mo. 



"Another great advantage in 

 the System is that in trans- 

 planting outdoor crops, no mat- 

 ter how hot the sun or strong 

 the wind, by turning the Skin- 

 ner System on they will go 

 through with scarcely a check."
