PURKIBONE 



W 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.

HUNT'S PURE BONE IXOUR 



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.

BLOOD AND BONE 



Preferred by many of our best and largest growers owing to 

 its [great percentage of ammonia and available phosphate, which 



makep 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. 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.

 out west he noticed much more activity

In anticipation of a big Saint Valen-

The Market. 



The weather in January was unusually 

 mild. With the exception of a few days, 

 it was the mildest January in years. 

 Business so far this month was better 

 than expected. Stock remained scarce 

 all through and continues to be so. 

 Bulb stock and carnations still bring 

 a good price, with none too many on the 

 market. Sweet peas, valley and violets 

 are none too plentiful, especially violets, 

 which we always need. 



Various Notes. 



The club meeting, which was held the 

 first Tuesday of the month, brought out 

 the new candidates, to be elected later. 

 The following were nominated : For presi- 

 dent, Charles Sandiford and Ed. Slat- 

 tery; vice-president, Charles Guenther; 

 secretary, J. E. Cloudsley, William Legg 

 and L. H. Neubeck; financial secretary, 

 E. C. Brucker and D. B. Long; treas- 

 urer, W. Eiss. The meeting was well 

 attended and much important business 

 was transacted. 



A. Adams has been on the sick list 

 for a few days, but expects to be about 

 again soon.
