PURK BONE MEAL ' *'^ ' 



The brand we are selling has no superior. It is an absolutely 

 uniform grade of pure bbne, guaranteed free from acids, and is 

 sold at as low rates as many inferior brands, which cannot be used 

 with safety in greenhouse work.

HUNT'S PURE BONE FLOUR 



This is identical with our Pure Bone 

 Meal, except it is ground to a very 

 fine dust or flour, making it especially 

 valuable for use in liquid form or for 

 mixing with other fertilizers when 

 quick action is required.

BIXMD AND BONE 



Preferred by many of our best and largest growers owing to 

 its great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 

 makes it quick acting. 



It is a mixture of pure tankage or blood and the best grade of 



Bone Meal in proportions to stimulate root action and bring out 

 the best color in the blooms.

PULVERIZED SHEEP 

 MANURE 



One of the most effective of ferti- 

 lizers and largely used by the best 

 growers, both as a top dressing and 

 in the manure tanks. A trial order 

 will convince the most skeptical of 

 the superiority of our brand. It is the 

 Pure Sheep Manure. No dirt, no 

 weed seeds, nothing but what will 

 give results. Sheep manure is a per- 

 fect fertilizer, containing all the nec- 

 essary plant foods which are lacking 

 in most soils.

The Market 



Barring a couple of days immediately 

 following Easter, we have no kick com- 

 ing as to business since the holiday. 

 There has been considerable life to the 

 demand and the supply has been very 

 good. Prices have been holding up and 

 altogether we have every reason to be 

 satisfied. There also has been a very 

 great improvement in the weather. 



Both roses and carnations are equal 

 to the demand and the quality is first- 

 class. Violets are about over for this 

 year. Bulbous stock is beginning to 

 slacken up and its days are numbered. 

 The exception will be callas and Harrisii. 

 They are in good supply and selling 

 well at good prices. 



Smiiax continues to be scarce, but 

 there is a good supply of all other kinds 

 of greens. Ferns are holding out very

 long till the new crop begins to come in 

 from the south. 



Various Note*. 



P. J. Olinger has been very much 

 worried over the illness of his two chil- 

 dren. They have been very low, but it 

 is believed that the worst is over. 



Mr. Griswold, of Toledo, has accepted 

 a position with the Walnut Hills Floral 

 Bazaar, of which Chas. Jones is the pro- 

 prietor. 



Park Superintendent J. W. Kodgers 

 and Miss Martha C. Meyer were married 

 April 18 at the home of the bride's par- 

 ents. Mr. and Mrs. Kodgers are now on 

 a trip through the east and incidentally 

 looking over the park systems of the 

 larger cities. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society was held in the club rooms Satur- 

 day evening, but owing to the season of 

 the year there were few of the members 

 present. There was no special business.

but several subjects of general interest 

 were discussed. The healthy state of the 

 treasury was gratifying to all of the 

 members. The next regular meeting will 

 be held May 12. At this meeting the 

 nomination of oflBcers for the ensuing 

 year will be in order. A topic of gen- 

 eral interest will be our annual outing. 

 Ben George stated that it is his intention 

 to invite the society to meet at his place 

 in July. All of those who were fortu- 

 nate enough to have accepted his invita- 

 tion last year will hail this information 

 with delight. C. J. Oiimer.
