UP-TO-DATE GREENHOUSES 



must be lastinsr, convenient and efficient. They must be constructed 

 in accordance with the principles which have been approved by knowl- 

 edge and experience. We have been in the greenhouse manufacturing 

 business foi many years and our experience is at your disposal. 



Our patent LEAK-PROOF locked gutter has proven a success. If 

 you are not using the same as yet, do so on your next houses and we 

 know we can add your name to our list of satisfied customers.

The Market. 



There was more stock for Memorial 

 day this year than in previous years. 

 Peonies, as usual, were in abundance 

 and went well at prices from $6 to $10 

 per hundred. Boses were not in the 

 best of Condition, but went fairly well, 

 with the exception of White Killarney. 



Carnations went well. Gladioli were 

 the best and sold well, promising a 

 small shortage, but this did not cause 

 much alarm. Outdoor stock filled in 

 nicely, such as feverfew, larkspur, 

 snapdragons, field daisies, gaillardia, 

 coreopsis, cornflowers, cape jasmines 

 and sweet william. Green goods went 

 well, as usual. 



Various Notes. 



H. W. Sheppard's shop has been ex- 

 ceedingly busy on graduation work at 

 the hospitals, and also on funeral work 

 and wedding orders. 



L. H. Kyrk is receiving some excel- 

 lent gaillardias and delphiniums from 

 George Klotter, of Price Hill. 



Fred Gear, of upper Vine street, re- 

 ports the best Memorial day business 

 ever. 



E. G. Gillett reports a good week in 

 the sale of supplies, and also that the 

 sales of the nsw foliage, coontie, have 

 increased considerably. 



Tromey's Flower Shop reports a big 

 week in general work and the best May 

 so far. 



Judging from the way Ray Lindsay, 

 of the Sunnyside Greenhouses, Hart- 

 well, has been speeding around the mar- 

 ket, that concern must be setting a 

 good pace. 



K. J. Hardesty's displaj-s of late have 

 been more than usually attractive and 

 deserve mention. 



A True Story.

March 17th 

 We use KAMMONB'S SXUO 

 SHOT on Currant Bushes in 

 the Spring- before the leaves are 

 started. We put it on around 

 the roots and have done it for 

 two years, and find that the 

 worms are killed before they 

 get on the bush. For potatoes 

 we put on BImVO SHOT as soon 

 as the bugs come, and we have 

 good vines, plenty of tubers 

 and no bugs. It is the best 

 thing we have ever used. Per 

 Sow Bn^ In 8rreenhoaB«a It is sare deatli. We had a lot of them before using 



SOW BUG. 



S^UO' SHOT but they got out where it is used.

Slug Shot for Sow Bugs. 



It !■ with great pl^aaiire each week Z read your valned paper, and X like to 

 give a helpings hand when Z can. I do not wish to say anything agalnvt the 

 nae of Paris gxeen and angur, or bran, or any other material, for Z know these 

 are all good to kill hoffa, anch aa wood lice (aow hugs), etc. Bnt Z would like 

 to state, as Z have done formerly, for the benefit of anyone bothered with sow 

 bugs that Z have thorong'hly cleared my greenhouses of this pest by dusting' 

 freely with HAJCMOITD'S S^TTO SHOT, spreadlntf it well in the walks, under 

 the benches, along the side walls and l>etween the plants, using about 20 lbs. 

 to a 20 ft. X 100 ft. house. This Blng Shot will not injure Carnation plants. Z 

 hope that this recital of my experience will be of help to others in trouble 

 and especially recommend its use as it is not dangerous to human life as is 

 Paris green.
