There was lots of pep in the May 

 meeting of the Gerniaiitown Horticul- 

 tural Society. . A plant exchange, a wild 

 flower collection iind dissertation and 

 an entertainment by the high school 

 girls were enjoyed l)y tlie members and 

 their friends. 



Much comment has been caused by 

 the effort of the candy people to appro- 

 priate Mothers' day.

The Market. 



Mothers' ([ay this year passed all 

 bounds; it exceeded all expectations! 

 The demand was overwhelming, but the 

 supply did not begin to keep pace with 

 it. In comparison Avith other years, the 

 demand was heavier, this being the best 

 one yet experienced, and the sui>ply was 

 shorter. Hundreds of people were 

 turned away. 



Carnations were limited in supply 

 and those available were quiekly^used. 

 Snapdragons and sweet jjcas were the 

 most plentiful of ;ill flowers, but these 

 did not hold out. Carnations sold for 

 $12 to $].') per hundred. Snapdragons 

 brought $8 and $11' and sweet peas $;;. 

 Roses sold quickly at from $10 to $3o. 



Anything in the shape of a flower was 

 eagerly sought. Stock was cut unusual- 

 ly green to help still the cry of "More 

 flowers!" A few daisies, candytuft, 

 lilies of the valley, calendulas, orchids 

 and pansies were available. Some 

 gladioli were in evidence and moved 

 quickly at $L'J per hundred. 



Potted jilants were also entirely sold. 

 Calceolarias, begonias, ferns, hydran- 

 geas, rose bushes and even blooming 

 geraniums were called for. 



Business in general has been improv- 

 ing in tlie last two weeks. Warmer 

 weather is here and the demand for bed- 

 ding stock will begin to be brisk. The 

 supply of this seems to be fairly large, 

 but is not ovcrplcntiful, as the last two 



For Memorial Day 



and for cemetery calls throughout the year, 

 you will find these beautiful, dignified and 

 practical cemetery basket vases popidar, 

 sure-selling and good repeatei-s. Glass vases 

 break and metal holders are cheap looking. 

 You can now offer your customers a flower 

 holder that is really attractive instead of 

 merely a container for water and flowers. 



In each basket is furnished a heavy rust-proof 

 spiked galvanized iron container and this spike 

 protrudes through a hole m the bottom of the bas- 

 ket so when stuck in the soil it holds the basket 

 in position. Colors: Green, Brown and Gray. 

 We furnish you advertisinc folders to send to 

 your customers with each dozen baskets . Order 

 today and you will order lagain.
