TOMATOES (Bonny Best) TOMATOES 



Most prolific for forcing or outside crop. Size and color are right. Will produce double the fruit of any other tomato in existence. 

 No trick in growing tomatoes; just plant them, tie and run them to single or two stems; keep side shoots out; no hand fertilizing 

 needed. That isn't all— try this in your carnation benches. They will make you money. No higher temperature needed. 



Urge transplanted plants, $1.75 100, $18.00 1000, cash; to clean np. 250 at 1000 rate. B. B. POHLMANN, Rockford, 111.

NEWPORT, R. I. 



The Market. 



Several faftors combine to indicate 

 that the present summer will be one 

 of the most active experienced here in 

 several years, from a social as well as 

 a commercial point of view. The Euro- 

 pean war has interrupted all travel 

 abroad, while the several llower shows 

 that are to be staged here during the 

 next few months are certain to attract 

 unusually large numbers of visitors. It 

 is understood that the number of New 

 York florists who will maintain branch 

 stores at Newport this summer will be 

 the largest ever known. 



Various Notes. 



William B. Scott, of W. B. Scott & 

 Co., has purchased a fine residence on 

 Gibbs avenue, to which he will soon 

 remove. 



John B. Sullivan, gardener for 

 Charles F. Hoffman, Armsea Hall, who 

 was confirmed as postmaster of New- 

 port last week by Congress, is arrang- 

 ing to assume his duties. 



The Newport Horticultural Society 

 has arranged another series of lectures, 

 to be given during the coming months. 

 The first was given last week by Robert 

 Pyle, president of the Conard & .(ones 

 Co., of West Grove, Pa. His subject 

 was "Among the Roses at Home and 

 Abroad." 



The midwinter flower show for house- 

 grown plants and blooms was held 

 March 9 and 10, at the Civic League 

 House, under the auspices of the New- 

 port Garden Association. 



Samuel Matson has accepted a posi- 

 tion as head gardener for Mrs. Alex- 

 ander S. Clark, on Harrison avenue. 

 He was formerly with Oscar Schultz. 



Two of the old greenhouses in the 

 range of Stewart Ritchie, -at Middle- 

 town, have been torn down and are be- 

 ing replaced by modern buildings. The 

 construction work and fitting up are be- 

 ing done by Mr. Ritchie 's sons. 



Rev. Roderick Terry, D. D., president 

 of the Newport Garden Association, is 

 having a small range of greenhouses, 

 20x73, built on his estate. Linden Gate.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query wonid state 

 that 1 planted seedling stock plants and snap- 

 drairon cuttlnKs in the first 'lot of bands that 1 

 reet'ive<l from you early in January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain about the 15th of 

 Kebruarv. Thev made n (iOOl) (JHOWTH while 

 In the bands, and transplanted AH THOUGH they 

 liad never been moved at all. 



I have now about 14.000 carnation plant! 

 started in 2-ln. bands which are making a RAPID 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant- 

 ing from the sand. 



I also have about 20,000 aster plants trani- 

 planted in 2-in. bands whilfh can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOt'T FEAK OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 if I used 2-ln. pots. 



Plants SEI.rrO.M BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does. In water- 

 ing, sldftlng, transplanting, etc. 



I make my bands and set them in flats, aa I 

 make them up, each flat liolding 117. 



When we get crowded indoors it takes but a 

 sliort time to move the Hats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them off before setting them In 

 the field. 



One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME .\S MANY (twice as manyl plants in the 

 Held from these bands and flats tlian he can from 

 pots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CL.BAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. 



I l)elieve anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A RECULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



.Mr. /Weaver ordered 5000 Dirt Bands in Decem- 

 ber. 40,000 in .lanuary. and 20,000 in March last 

 y<'Mr, and 7n,(MK) this year.
