Atwood's Cat and Dog Remedies 



SOMETHING NEW FOR THE FLORISTS' TRADE 



"KA-NI-KU-RA"-For Dog. 



This may seem funny to you, Brother Florist. The 

 first thing you will say is, "Let the Drug Stores handle 

 it." Well, just listen a minute, please. Are not the 

 majority of the cat and dog lovers of your locality pretty 

 good customers of yours? Perhaps you never noticed, 

 but we have, and also have noticed that when you can do 

 something to help a sick pet for someone, you have got 

 pretty close to that party for life. 



These two Remedies are copyrighted in the U. S. 

 Patent OfKce and have been sold to a large number of 

 very appreciative customers for a long time, in a some- 

 what limited area. 



Only the most pure drugs are used in the manu- 



For Cats-"KURE-A-KAT" 



facture of these remedies, and when you sell them tell 

 your customers that if given according to the directions 

 and it fails to relieve or cure, they can come to you 

 for the money back — and we will stand behind you. 

 The remedies are put up in a neat and attractive manner 

 and are not a misfit in the best flower shops. 



WHO IS THIS TOTMAN?

To try it once means you will always handle it, with 

 ever increasing demand. This sells as well with the coun- 

 try florist as with the larger town brothers and should 

 be in every retail florist's place in the U. S. 



You are missing a good profit and a trade builder in 

 other lines if you do not carry these remedies, for all 

 you need to do is to let people know you sell them. 



Let us have your order for a small lot and see how 

 quickly you will want more. 



Not less than a dozen bottles of either size sold at 

 wholesale. 



Terms, cash with order. Shipped by express, properly 

 packed to go anywhere.

The Market. 



Business conditions were satisfactory 

 to retailors and wholesalers alike last 

 week. All kinds of weather, from a se- 

 vere freeziii}; temperature to a decided 

 mildness, has been experienced. Stock 

 has been plentiful throughout the week. 

 This, however, was easily cleared by the 

 street venders. Prices are holding up 

 well and only on stock that is overplen- 

 tiful is any particular reduction noticed. 



Bulbous' stock is now in full supply 

 and quantities of daffodils .^re reaching 

 the market each morning. Rome spe- 

 cially long-stemmed single daffodils arc 

 seen and sell readily. Other daffodil 

 stock moves off well. 'Tulips arc in good 

 supply and appear to be in good demand. 

 Among the shipments there is a good 

 (juantity of short-stemmed stock, but 

 most of this stock is used for funeral 

 work. Paper Whites are slowing up con- 

 siderably. Preesias are good, but the 

 supply is a little uneven. Sweet peas 

 are in'good supply and good stock is seen 

 at this writing; long stems and large 

 blooms make tlieir sale easy. Carnations 

 are quite jilcntiful, especially in the 

 whites, but Ihey move off well. There 

 is a large su]iply of roses reaching us, 

 and the demand keeps up fairly well. 

 The majority of them are in the medium 

 grades and include all of the best sell- 

 ing varieties. Extra fine American 

 Beauties were in demand last week, and 

 good stock was available. Lilac, acacia, 

 lilies and snajidragon are seen, but the 

 .supply is limited.

MEAD -SU YD AM COMPANY, Newark, New Jersey 



for the opening of Kilbourn hall, which 

 took place March ?>, and continued until 

 March 4. Kilbourn h;ill is part of the 

 new building which, when completed, 

 will 1)0 known as the Eastman School of 

 Music. This institution is the largest 

 building of its kind ever erected in 

 Ko'liester and is the gift of George 

 Eastman (of Kodak fame) to the Uni- 

 versity of Rochester. Several large or- 

 gans and a large number of Steinway 

 pianos are already installed, and several 



European composers and teachers have 

 taken up their work here. 



Several of the uptown florists ran a 

 s])ecial sale of plants March 4, at the 

 ]irice of $1. Potted bulbous stock and 

 j)rimroses are so unusually plentiful that 

 bargains are offered. 



Collatos Bros, had a pretty window 

 decoration of daffodils and tulips last 

 week. A special sale on these attracted 

 m;iny buyers. H. J. H.
