Last week we exploited the NEW KIND of store. 



Below we offer the NEW KIND of backet or flower jar, made of the best galvanized iron, 

 which is only one of the many novelties we have in store for our customers the coming season. 



After a practical and thorough test of two years this bucket has been found far more dur- 

 able, easier handled; in fact, superior in every way to any flower receptacle on the market today. 



It does not break, does not wear out, does not rot, does not chip; in fact, with any kind 

 of care, will last a life time.

It will appeal particularly to the Grower and Wholesaler, and to the Retailer for a 

 receptacle which he does not want to use for show purposes.

ing the fall and spring, when it is not 

 cold enough to run the large boiler. 



The benches were filled with strong 

 young plants from 4-inch pots and from 

 the field— 18,000 in all, Mr. Craig said. 

 The varieties were Winsor, Beacon, En- 

 chantress, Afterglow, Rose-pink En- 

 chantress, Red Wing, considered the 

 greatest producer, a pink seedling, much 

 admired in aristocratic circles, and a 

 white seedling in which E. A. Stroud 

 takes a deep interest. 



Two of the houses are for plants. 

 They will have more heat, and a parti- 

 tion will separate them from the carna- 

 tions. A slate bench for propagating 

 and a concrete manure pit, two feet deep 

 and 150 feet long, to give bottom heat, 

 are features. A high shed, 27x100 feet, 

 makes a splendid workshop. 



The sight of this well appointed place 

 excited the enthusiasm of the party. Mr. 

 Becker gave expression to his feelings in 

 a story about a race horse he once owned

that always brought him home a double 

 eagle. "Yes, sir; every time it went 

 out of the stable it raced and brought 

 home a $20 gold piece." If you don't 

 believe me, just ask Mr. Becker. 



Mr. Craig then said it was train time, 

 so we had to go. 



The Man With the Bellows. 



There is an awfully good story — per- 

 haps you know it — about the bellows 

 man remarking to the organist as they 

 went out of church, ' ' That was a good 

 tune we played today. " " We ! ' ' the or- 



ganist replied, with his head held high; 

 ' ' I played a good tune. ' ' The next Sun- 

 day the organ stopped suddenly in the 

 middle of a tune. The organist tore 

 downstairs to sec what was the matter. 

 "Is it I or we?" the bellows man asked. 

 Now, this story is recalled to me vivid- 

 ly by the oft repeated statement heard 

 in town, that * ' everybody is away. ' ' 



This, unfortunately, is not the case. It 

 is true merely of half of the profession. 

 The other half have to work, and work 

 hard under trying conditions to produce 

 the high grade stock that is required in
