AxJArX BLACK GLAZING CEKENT 



^ PRACTICAL glazing material made for application in a 

 practical manner. No clumsy, slow working tools necessary — 

 simply a putty bulber or two and a filling gun toload them — furnished /ree to users. 

 Ajax Black Glazing Cement has been used throughout the country for several years 

 with excellent results. To prospective purchasers we can give names of satisfied users in every green- 

 house center — over a hundred names in Chicago locality alone. 



NOT AFFECTED BY EXTREME HEAT OR COLD 



Our product is a cement-like composition of Asbestos Fibres, and heavy, semi-drying hydro-carbon oils. Its 

 exceptionally long life is due to the fact that it never thoroughly hardens like old fashioned white putty. The 

 outside surface (which is exposed to the oxygen of the air) forms a resilient tough skin, below which the 



material remains soft and plastic. Because of this we guar- 

 antee that the coldest weather will not cause it to become 

 brittle or pull away. On the other hand our product is war- 

 ranted not to sag or run in extremely hot weather due to its 

 being inter-laced with the Asbestos Fibres. 



As Ajax Black Glazing Cement never thoroughly hard- 

 ens, glass glazed with it can be shifted when desired without 

 the loss of breakage that so often results when hard drying 

 white putties are used. 



LOW COST 



Compared with the old fashioned White Lead putties, 

 Ajax Black (ilazing Cement not only lasts years longer, but 

 is a great deal lower in initial cost. 



One gallon is sufficient to glaze 500 lineal feet of sash. 



■ 



While primarily made to stop water leaks, so thoroufjhly 

 does Ajax Black (Jlazing Cement hermetically seal up the sash, 

 that it will soon pay for itself in the saving of heat that is other- 

 wise lost through air voids. This fact has been demonstrated 

 time and again, and we can prone it.

demand seemed to turn more to plants 

 than to cut flowers. 



The Blossom Floral Co. reports Easter 

 business about thirty per cent greater 

 than last year's. This firm experienced 

 a shortage of plants, but had plenty of 

 cut stock. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey had a wonderful 

 crop of carnations for Easter, but still 

 they had to turn down orders in their 

 wholesale department. They report a 

 splendid Easter business. 



If one wanted to get into a busy place 

 at Easter, he only had to go to Lanter- 

 nier's. Everybody was kept on the 

 jump, and the crowd was well taken 

 care of. The firm has an attractive win- 

 dow in yellow, which makes one stop 

 and look. S. N.

The Market. 



Eeports from the florists regarding 

 this Easter's business sliow that gener- 

 ally it was ahead of that of last year. 

 This was made possible by the supply 

 of stock available. The lilies sold early, 

 but there was a good demand for other 

 plants and cut flowers. Toronto florists 

 are well satisfied with the business 

 done. 



Since Easter there has been a great 

 deal of stock available. All kinds of 

 flowers can be supplied in quantities. 

 There is a demand for design work and 

 a few reception decorations. 



Various Notes. 



Several Toronto members of the F. 

 T. D. will be at the Detroit meeting, 

 April 11. An endeavor will be made to 

 have the Toronto convention extended 

 to three days.

by the use of the

Up-to-the-hour dealers will not fail to feature the Fertall Gan and Fertall

 effectively fertilized while usiog the garden hose in the ordinary manner. 



We urge Hardware Dealers. Seed Stores and General Stores to add the 

 Fettali Gun and Balls to their stocks immediately. They will find the 

 Gana universal sellers and Ba//* continuous sellers throughout tte summer

G. M. Geraghty is to be congratulated 

 on the Easter advertising. As chairman 

 of the Florists' Club publicity commit- 

 tee he accomplished a great deal. Tlie 

 Easter advertising is being favorably 

 commented upon. 



Toronto florists attended the matinee 

 at the Eoyal Alexandra theater, April 

 1. All the artists were given baskets 

 of flowers and the chorus girls corsages. 



A test case as to whether or not the 

 retail florists shall be listed as manu- 

 facturers and be required to pay the two 

 per cent war tax is being tried at Ot- 

 tawa. In the meantime no license is 

 needed, nor is it necessary to collect the 

 tax. So far the florists have objected 

 to collecting the tax as manufacturers 

 and have decided to do nothing regard- 

 ing its collection. J. J. H.
