PURE BONE MEAL 



' The brand vre 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.

HITNT'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.

BLOOD 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. 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.

ThcMariEct 



Valentine's day brought out the best 

 business we have had for a long time. 

 Stock was just about equal to the de- 

 mand, so that there was a general clean- 

 up among the wholesale houses, with 

 scarcely a flower left over, and the re- 

 tailers give a similar report. Prices ruled 

 good, but not much higher than the gen- 

 eral run lately. There was some ad- 

 vance, however. Violets did not advance 

 much, as there was a heavy supply of 

 them and they were about the only flower 

 that did not sell out clean. The late ar- 

 rivals did not sell out as well as had been 

 expected. 



Business continues good and this week 

 starts out better than for some time. 

 The market is well cleaned out. Roses, 

 carnations, bulbous flowers — in fact, all 

 sorts of flowers are bringing better prices. 

 Many growers are off crop now, and that 

 tends to lessen the supply. If the de- 

 mand holds out, there will be a few weeks 

 of good prices. 



Variouc Notes. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society, held Saturday evening at Wei- 

 land & dinger's, brought out a large 

 attendance. The work of perfecting the 

 organization for the entertainment of 

 the S. A. F. next August was gone over, 

 and reports were heard from the chair- 

 men of those committees who were pres- 

 ent. The souvenir program committee 

 is making rapid headway and many ad- 

 vertisements have been secured. The 

 fluance committee reports satisfactory 

 progress, and all other committees are 



The Factory that will be Back of Your Order 



if placed with us, is the newest and most up-to-date in the business. New machinery- 

 new methods— largest capacity— all of which means, orders filled more quickly, and 

 better goods for your money. Give us a chance to estimate.

busily engaged in doing their respective 

 work. Several new members were ad- 

 mitted. During the meeting refresh- 

 ments were served through the courtesy 

 of Weiland & dinger, and the meeting 

 was greatly enjoyed by all present. 



William Murphy's place was closed 

 Wednesday, February 10, on account of 

 the death of his grandson, Donald 

 Murphy. 



Thieves made away with the telephone 

 at B. P. Critchell 's greenhouses, in Avon- 

 dale. It was a pay station telephone, and 

 the thieves took the money out of the 

 box and then threw the instrument away.
