LANCASTER, PA. 



Carnation plants are nearly all set out 

 in the field and bedding stock is well 

 on its way to distribution. 



The price of white carnations for 

 Mothers' day put enthusiasm into the 

 growers. One of them referred to it 

 as being one of the days when there is 

 "real velvet" in carnation growing. 



B. F. Barr 's giant pansies, shown with, 

 the aid of goldfish bowls, showed size 

 that has never been attained in reality, 

 but it was a clever ' ' ad. ' ' Their dollar 

 baskets of Spanish iris, daisies and 

 other seasonable cut flowers were ready 

 sellers. Chas. F. Edgar is the manager 

 at this place. 



The Eosery has shown baskets of 

 delicate pink lupines that for daintiness 

 could not 'be surpassed. 



Thousands of people have visited the 

 establishment of Geo. W. Park, at La 

 Park, to see his wonderful planting of 

 tulips, some 200,000 being in bloom. 



The Lancaster County Florists' Club 

 has furnished flower seeds for all the 

 children who have garden plots in the 

 section set aside for them by the city. 

 For a number of years heretofore they 

 have been raising vegetables and now 

 will have an opportunity to learn the 

 joys of flower gardening. The varieties 

 supplied are of easy culture and adapted 

 for cutting. The next meeting of the 

 Florists' Club will be May 21.

BRAMPTON, ONT. 



Mothers' day this year has beaten 

 all holiday records outside of Christmas 

 and Easter, and judging by the aston- 

 ishing amount of business done last 

 week, the day has to be regarded as one 

 to be conjured with by all in the trade 

 for all time to come. The glorious 

 weather brought in a splendid crop of 

 Beauties and all orders were filled with 

 the exception of carnations. Over a 

 dozen extra packers were at work in 

 the shipping room at the Dale Estate.

GREENHOUSE SHADINQ 

 No. 6 Hish Straat. MORRISTOWN, N. I. 



AFTER twenty-flve years' experl<»nce In Green- 

 house work, with Loid A Burnham Company, 

 In the glazing and painting department, I am 

 convinced that what Is most needed In this line Is a 

 good shading, and I am pleased to advise you that I 

 have the real thing, which I am sure you wUl find to 

 be just what you are looking for. 



This shading Is beneflclal to the painted wood, as 

 It does not contain any gasoline or naphtha which 

 would destroy the paint. In addition, it Is beneficial 

 to the glass also, for you will find that when the 

 shading is removed the glass retains its former 

 brilliancy. 



As to Its application, this is a very easy matter. It 

 can be either sprayed on or put on with a soft brush. 

 For real good work, however, I would recommend 

 the use of a soft brush. 



Another advaotage of this shading is that when It 

 Is no longer needed, it can be removed without any 

 difficulty, leaving the glass, as before stated, with its 

 original brilliancy. 



I am making this up in gallon cans. In three 

 shades— light green, light blue and pure white. 

 When ordering, kindly mention the color desired. 



I trust that yon will kindly favor me with a trial 

 order to prove its worth, after which I have no doubt 

 whatever but that you will continue its use.
