 Oentlemen— Please quote me prices on your 

 best rubber hose. I want the same kind 1 bought 

 from you several years ago, which was the be^t 

 hose I ever had, as it does not kink and stands 

 our very strong water pressure well. 



Yours truly, 

 Paul Niehoff.

GRAND RAPIDS. 



The Market. 



At last the drought is broken. Copious 

 rains have fallen, and the intense heat is 

 lowered. The heat has been fearful, and 

 continued so long that it seemed as if it 

 would fairly cook outside vegetation. 

 Carnation planting was hindered in the 

 spring by too much rain. It rained 

 hea\'ily every two or three days for over 

 a month, keeping the soil packed and 

 heavy. Then came the heated spell, and 

 the plants hardly seemed to move. Now 

 they will grow like weeds, with such 

 weather as we are now getting. 



There are but few sweet peas to be 

 had, on account of the heat. The aster 

 crop is practically a failure, as stem-rot 

 and the drought had a disastrous effect 

 on the crop. Those who planted any in- 

 side will realize well on the crop. 



Summer roses, such as Kaiserin and 

 Killarney, are equal to the demand, al- 

 though the stems on Killarney are still 

 somewhat short. Uncle John does well 

 for summer, also. Brides and Maids do 

 not seem to be called for at all these 

 days, but I presume that with cooler fall 

 weather they will come into their own. 

 Carnations are practically over, and what 

 are left are of rather poor quality. There 

 are plenty of lilies of all kinds, princi- 

 pally Japanese lilies, auratum and ru- 

 brum. 



Various Notes. 



There is little building going on. 

 Bruinslot & Sons will put up two more 

 houses, for lettuce, cucumbers and toma- 

 toes. The claim is made, and seems to 

 be pretty well founded, that it is more 

 profitable to grow indoor tomatoes and 

 cukes than carnations and geraniums, and 

 infinitely less trouble and expense.

Buckskin Greenhouse Hose 



%-inota, 15o per foot, oouplod, f. o. b. Detroit. 



Furnished in continnouB lengths of 500 feet, without Beam, joint "r 



connection, in }4 and ^ inch eizea only. An exceptionally high-grade 



FloriBts' hose; with a double woven jacket insertion instead of cotton duck, 



and with specially selected rubber in the inner tube and cover. 



The double woven jacket conBtruction makes a stroDgrer hose than can be obtained 

 from cotton duck, and absolutely precludes the possibility of cover opening at seam— 

 a common cause of failure of garden hose made on cotton duck. This construction 

 also gives a more flexible hose and reduces tbe possibility of kinking. 



Buckskin Hose is guaranteed to stand a pressure of 500 pounds p^:t 



square inch, although its bursting pressure is far in excess of this.

There is an effort being made to get 

 together a good delegation for the Cin- 

 cinnati convention. It looks as if the fol- 

 lowing might attend: Messrs. Henry
