Four Sharp Gimlets^How to Get Them 



A gimlet, as everybody knows, is a sharp pointed tool to bore holes in wood. 



Facts are gimlets that fill untruths full of holes. We have made four particularly sharp gimlets 



for boring right into the untruths of greenhouse constructions and estimates. They 



are in the form of four pithily-pointed pieces of printed matter (one is a booklet). 



Two of them have already been mailed to several thousand whose names are on 



our mailing list. Here are the names of these four gimlets: 



1. N* Use Tryiac to Get Along Wilhont Me. 3. A Pair of Dividers. 



2. PuRing Your Finger on the Spot. 4. The Holes in the Arguments. 



How about you— did you get the first two? If you didn't, then sign the coupon; 

 tear it off and mail to us and we will see that you get all four of the gimlets. 

 Every one will have a sharp point so you can put it to work at once.

The Market. 



The trade for Mothers' day was sat- 

 isfactory. Everything in the cut flower 

 line was cleaned up. While there was 

 not much more stock this year than 

 last, better prices were received. The 

 demand for white carnations wa^ heavy 

 and the supply soon was taken up. 

 Flowers for the table, with which to 

 honor Mothers ' day, made business quite 

 brisk. 



Spring business is in full blast and 

 bedding plants of all kinds are being 

 planted. The bedding business is two 

 weeks in advance of other years. Fu- 

 neral work is good and helps to keep the 

 market cleaned up on cut flowers. Car- 

 nations are in short supply, even though 

 the flowers are smaller than they were 

 several weeks ago. Roses are in good 

 shape for this time of the year. 



Various Notes. 



R. S. Brown & Son report that busi- 

 ness this year is the best they ever have 

 had. They are practically all sold out 

 and in a week or two every plant in 

 their greenhouses will be gone. Funeral 

 work has been the best they have had. 



Business "across the line" for Moth- 

 ers' day was good and the general re- 

 port is that everybody is satisfied with 

 results. White carnations were not 

 equal to the demand. 



Arthur Newell reported Mothers ' day 

 as being good. He says it is a fine 

 thing for the trade, as it helps to keep 

 the market cleaned up on cut flowers 

 and makes business better all the way 

 around.

Bedding stock of all kinds is scarce, 

 especially geraniums and vincas. Most 

 of the growers will have few left at 

 Memorial day. W. J. B., Jr. 



CaUa, O.— The L. Tempi in Seed Co. 

 has sold its greenhouse. 



Latrobe, Pa. — G. Raymond Smith has 

 a geranium, of unknown origin but sup- 

 posed to have developed from a cutting 

 of S. A. Nutt, of which he thinks 

 highly. It is darker than Nutt in color, 

 but the growth", foliage and habit are 

 identical with Nutt.
