J. B. Knapp, Sayre, Pa., is adding a 

 house for bedding plants, of wliich about 

 12,000 geraniums alone are in fine shape 

 and which are expected to find new 

 liomcs around Mothers' day and later. 

 Carnations are in crop and will help 

 swell the treasury, as there is a reported 

 shortage and an advance in price.

 "Words fail ine,"' observed our worthy 

 confrere, "to (U'scrihe the wonderful 

 Laddie seen ^Tcjwinij at C. Mcikel & 

 Sons' place, at Mentor, O., where a man 

 is kept busy jiieking tlie whole day 

 long." Mr. Herron said that althougli 

 the company has been forced out of its 

 store by a fire, which compelled the 

 transfer to the f;reenh(iuses, where an 

 oiiice has been fixed >ip, the firm's busi- 

 ness, apparently, had not suffered; 

 lather, the pleasing reverse. The fire 

 was put out by an exjilosion at the soda 



fountain.

A. H. Woeppel, Corning, N. Y., com- 

 menting upon diseased lily bulbs, opines 

 that unless there is a wjiole house wlicre 

 a night tenifieraturc of 70 degrees can 

 be maintained through the winter, the 

 small grower may as well give up the 

 .'ittemiit to force lilies. He forms his 

 opinion as a grower of botli Ilarrisii 

 and giganteum since they were first in- 

 troduced and as one who handles bulbs 

 from the most reliable importers. A 

 new house, 2.jxl00 feet, is under con- 



Carnegie's Milking Stool 



Suko the Jap surprised us the other day by saying a saying 

 of Carnegie's. 



We were talking about our $5 Hobby Box, Happy Hap 

 Fern and Tisket Tasket Basket when Suko remarked: 



"Why, Mister Stumpp, you stool have three legs only wear? 



Mister Carnegie he one time spoke that no stool good much 



what four legs not have. You three things 5 dollars for, 



very good so far is, but no far go enough. 



Stool need leg one more. 



Why not rose tree vase what cost by himself over $3? Then 



him fill rotes with and sell $5. Not make money any, but 



everybody »ay pleasant things about how Mister Stumpp 



give for money much. 



It make leg number four on stool so F. T. D. business he 



solid sit down, no wobblt." 



So we promptly took Suko's advice and the silver etched 



rote tree vase, filled as you see it, is now the fourth leg of 



the $5 stool. 



On every F. T. D. order for it we lose a dollar. 



You make a dollar. 



We charge that dollar up to advertising. 



It will do us both good.

struction to take care of bedding stock, 

 that usually at this time crowds out car- 

 nations, which, it is found, cannot be 

 sacrificed, since they are in demand un- 

 til outdoor blooms are available. Bed- 

 ding stock and sweet peas are fully up 

 to the usual high standard of quality.
