The Market. 



There has been a good demand for 

 stock during the last week, and, al- 

 though outdoor flowers have come, the 

 local wholesale houses report good busi- 

 ness. Quantities of carnations have been 

 received, and the supply has been sold 

 «ach day. Lilies have also been plenti- 

 ful and have moved out each day at fair 

 prices. The local peonies are exhausted, 

 and the shipments of peonies being re- 

 ceived are bringing fair prices. Gladioli 

 are in demand and are moving fairly 

 well. Lily of the valley is in great de- 

 mand and finds its chief use in bridal 

 bouquets. A good supply of American 

 Beauty roses have been on the market 

 and have had a good sale.

How the Richest Plant Food Is Used 



In liquid form use directly on the soil; do not touch 

 foliage or stems. Dissolve four tablets to the gallon of 

 water and use in place of liquid manure. Use every ten 

 days; some plants will stand more frequent use. 



Compare with liquid manure and see how much less 

 the trouble is and how much greater the results. 



Three or four tablets (one every ten days) placed 

 in the hills with a dibble, make Cucumbers, Squash and 

 Melons fairly jump and the crop all big ones. 



For Cold Frames, Hotbeds and Greenhouse Benches, 

 place the tablets a foot apart each way unless the liquid 

 form is used. 



For crops in drills, use 1 tablet to each foot of row. 



In hills, other than vines, use one tablet to each hllU^v 



In Flower Beds and Borders, place tablets 1 foot apar| 



Brush Fruits and Shrubbery, use three to five table 

 placed in the soil with the dibble about each plant. 



Fruit or Ornamental Trees, place tablets two £« 

 apart and extending out from the trunlc, as far as th<r*'> 

 longest branches. 



The Most Modern, Efficient and Scientific Method 

 of Fertilizing 



Each tablet contains highly concentrated, immediately 

 available plant food for stimulating Vegetables, Fruit, 

 and Ornamental plants. 



Stim-U-PlanT tablets enable the grower to control 

 development. They increase production, heighten color 

 and Improve quality. Their use is highly profitable. 



Stim-U-PlanT contains a guaranteed analysis of 11 

 per cent Nitrogen, 12 per cent Phosphoric Acid, 15 per 

 cent Potash. 



The better grades of commercial fertilizers contain 

 3 to 5 per cent Nitrogen, 6 to 10 per cent Phosphoric 

 Acid and 3 to 5 per cent Potash. 



Stim-U-PlanT is water soluble and immediately avail- 

 able. You save paying for, and cartage on a lot of worth- 

 less "filler," which only adds to built, freight, hauling 

 and labor in handling. 



No matter how fertile the soil, Stim-U-PlanT is effec- 

 tive in feeding and forwarding crops. It is a money 

 maker and labor saver for Market Gardeners and 

 Florists. 



Price, delivered, 1,000 tablet* 93.50. The same results 

 with ordinary fertilizer would cost double and more.
