PURE BONE MEAL 



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

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

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

 with safety in greenhouse work.

makes it quick acting. It is a mixture of pure tankage or blood

 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 

 Jn the manure tanks. The raw mater- 

 ial for Hunt's Sheep Manure is the 

 droppings taken from solid floor sheep 

 corrals. Ordinary manures are 

 largely shoveled up from the ground 

 and contain a large proportion of soil 

 for which you pay, but from which 

 you get nothing except possibly weed 

 seed. A trial order will convince the 

 most skeptical of the superiority of 

 our brand.

NEW ALBANY, IND. 



A. Basmusscn will this season add nine 

 large greenhouses to his already ex- 

 tensive establishment on Vincennes street, 

 which is now the largest in this sec- 

 tion of the country, covering nearly two 

 acres. Mr. Basmussen embarked in busi- 

 ness for liimself about eleven years ago, 

 with four small greenhouses. Since then 

 his business has steadily grown, requir- 

 ing more room than he had at his former 

 location, and he secured the large tract 

 of land on Vincennes street, where he 

 has been located for several years. 



This season he will grow about 15,000 

 rose plants, 20,000 carnations, 2,000 

 American Beauties, 2,000 violets and 

 numerous other cut flowers and will not 

 handle bedding plants, such as gerani- 

 ums, cannas, verbenas, hardy roses, etc., 

 devoting his entire attention to the pro- 

 duction of cut flowers and to retail cut 

 flower work. 



Mr. Basmussen wholesales large quan- 

 tities of cut flowers and supplies many 

 of the stores in Louisville. He also 

 ships largely to the smaller towns in 

 southern Indiana and Kentucky and the 

 increase in his greenhouses will give him 

 the facilities for a considerable increase 

 in this department next season. 



DETROIT. 



The Market 



A steady demand, coupled with a 

 week of cool, dark weather, has greatly 

 reduced the surplus of stock on the mar- 

 ket. Carnations, especially, are not so 

 plentiful as they were a few weeks ago. 

 Business keeps up fairly well. There

have been a number of small wedding 

 decorations, which kept some of the store- 

 men busy. While the profits are not 

 so large on these jobs, it is good adver- 

 tising and at least keeps the help busy. 



There is no danger of a stringency 

 of bedding stuff this season, as all the 

 florists are well stocked up. Some ex- 

 ceptionally fine geraniums can be seen, 

 such as should be sold for at least two 

 for 25 cents. 



There is little bulbous stock left and 

 there seems to be no complaint, either, 

 on the part of the florists. The two old 

 standbys, carnations and roses, will have 

 their way again for some time. 



Green of all kinds is plentiful, smi- 

 lax especially so.

 retailer.
