dred, with other grades down to $1 

 per hundred. 



The supply of miscellaneous flowers 

 is increasing, and the quality of some 

 of the arrivals, particularly snapdrag- 

 ons, is high. Sweet peas are in particu- 

 larly heavy supply, and prices, in conse- 

 quence, suffer; exhibition quality is to 

 be had at $2 per hundred, and ordina- 

 ries down to 50 cents. Violets are plen- 

 tiful, with prices hardly quotable, fluc- 

 tuating almost daily. Arrivals of single 

 violets are unusually large this year, 

 and seem to clear well. Columbines are 

 the most recent acquisition to the list 

 and sell readily, on account of novelty. 

 Other items available are lupines, my- 

 osotis, calendulas, daisies, pansies, del- 

 phiniums, stocks, wallflowers, fine mig- 

 nonette, ranunculi, freesias, French 

 marigolds, gladioli, heliotrope, acacia, 

 buddleia, primulas and lilac. Callas are 

 plentiful, and bring from $2 to $4 per 

 dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Among the incorporations noted last 

 week was that of the Nassau Seed Co., 

 of Hicksville, L. I. W. Duffy, C. S. 

 Barton and J. .T. McGunnigh are the 

 incorporators. There is a capital of 

 $50,000. 



The next meeting of the New York 

 Florists' Club will be held April 10, in 

 the club's quarters in the Engineering 

 Societies' building, 25 West Thirty- 

 ninth street. A large attendance is 

 probable, as a preliminary report of the 

 flower show committee is expected, and 

 it is expected to be a particularly fa- 

 vorable one.

The Skinner Quick-Acting Conpling 



The famous quick-acting coupling which has started so 

 many growers on the road to prosperity. 

 It is this ingenious device that makes it possible for one line 

 to water an acre or more. 



A Skinner System line is cut into 18-foot sections. 

 Between each section is one of these Quick-Acting Coup- 

 lings, so made that it slips into position instantly and eas- 

 ily; so made that it connects the pipe sections with nozzles 

 in perfect alignment, thereby securing absolutely uniform 

 water distribution. 



One man can handle a section. 



Two men handle three sections. 



Not much of a job to move a line, is it? 



Sections are perfectly interchangeable, so that lines can be 



made different lengths at will. 



Hundreds of growers are using these Sectional lines with 



pleasure and profit. 



They show you the way to get started without spending too 



much money.
