Dlafarlbntes Solphnr, Lilme, Slog Shot, Orap« Dost, Tobacco Dnat. Parla 

 Qr«en or any other powdery subatance. Does the work evenly, so every 

 leaf receives Its dne proportion, without any being wasted. By uslngr 

 the Peerless, a 200- ft. greenboase can be perfectly powdered In less 

 than five minates. Florists say: 



"It's a creat improvement over the bellows." 



Ask your Jobber for ttae Peerless or order direct from us. Price, $4.00

The Market. 



The market coutinues in the same 

 general condition as at last writing. 

 Receipts are slightly heavier, but are 

 not strong enough to cause any appre- 

 ciable change in .conditions. Shipping 

 business is good. More roses might 

 have been used last week, had they 

 been forthcoming. All the receipts in 

 this line met with a waiting market. 

 Carnations give indications of being 

 more plentiful, but are selling well. The 

 lily supply is large and continues to 

 meet with a good call. Both callas and 

 rubrums may also be had. The offer- 

 ings in valley, violets and orchids are 

 sufficient for immediate wants and are 

 of high quality. The narcissus supply 

 is Uirge. Other offerings include Soman 

 hyacinths, wallflowers, baby primroses 

 and forget-me-nots. 



Various Notes. 



C. E. Critchell has been getting in 

 some fine plumosus and Sprengeri from

HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2 



Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon. N. Y. ^a? 



Dear Sirs: After trying Thrip Juice No. 2 for two seasons, I can say it is the best 

 article I ever used for thrip on roses or carnations, also for white fly. The latter was 

 the worst pest we had to contend with, but after three apDllrations. about four (4) days a art. we 

 were prSctically free from it. I find it is advisable to aoply in the pvnine. and with a good, strong* 

 force pump, proportion one to forty. [Signed] T. J. OPPERMAN. FJorist.
