The Market 



Trade is still heavy, with stock scarce. 

 Roses are rather off crop and there are 

 not near enough to go around. They 

 are rather soft, as weather conditions 

 here have been somewhat unfavorable 

 for cut stock. We have few bright days 

 and this has a tendency to cut all stock 

 short. Carnations are faring better than 

 roses and are in rather good supply, but 

 the demand is so heavy on them that 

 they are cleaned up from day to day. 

 The demand for bulbous stock has been 

 quite heavy, owing to the shortage in 

 other lines. Tulips are coming much 

 better, with longer stems, and find ready 

 sales. Jonquils, narcissi, freesias and 

 valley are also coming in heavily and 

 find a ready sale. Blooming plants are 

 moving nicely. Azaleas, cyclamen and 

 primroses are the mainstay at present. 

 A few pans of tulips, etc., are making 

 their appearance and it reminds us that 

 we are not far from the spring rush. 



Trade for Valentine's day was extra 

 heavy, and it is getting to be a second 

 Easter in the way of flowers. This 

 shows how close flowers are clinging to 

 the day of hearts and there is nothing 

 more appropriate for this day than hearts 

 and flowers, Violets were in great de- 

 mand, as well as a general line of cut 

 stock and, as usual, carnations came in 

 for ^eir usual heavy demand. 



Qub Meetins. 



The Florists' Club did away with its 

 regular meeting Tuesday night, February 

 8, and entered into an evening of enter- 

 tainment in the way of music and song 

 and then they enjoyed a nice banquet. 

 After that was disposed of they enjoyed 

 an hour or so in dancing and all went 

 home feeling well repaid for the time 

 spent. It is hoped the club will see 

 fit to repeat the good time in the near 

 future. There were about fifty people 

 present. J. M. 



Champaign, III. — Thomas Franks & 

 Son are building an addition to their 

 greenhouses on South Goodwin avenue. 

 It is said that this addition, which will 

 contain 4,500 square feet, will be used 

 for the culture of two new varieties of 

 roses.

The secret of success in 

 market gardening is earliness. 



The Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 makes it easy to have the earliest 

 and best plants. They will be 

 ready as soon as the field is ready 

 to receive them. The resulting 

 crops will get the top-notch 

 prices. 



Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 lets in all the light all the time. 



Mats and boards for covering are 



no longer needed saving expense 

 and labor. 



Throughout the entire day the 

 plants get benefit of the stimulat- 

 ing sunlight and earlier, better 

 crops result. 



The two layers of glass do 

 the work. A f^-inch cushion 

 of dry air between acts as a trans- 

 parent blanket over the plants 

 and protects them even in zero 

 weather.

 success of Sunlight Double Glass Sash 

 makes it one ofthe best agency prop- 

 ositions open to enterprising men.
