truck with large body, capable of carry- 

 ing large loads of peas and beans, vines 

 and all, just as mowed from the field, 

 to the threshers. We were surprised 

 at the results. In fact, our range of 

 producing material was so extended 

 that we were justified in setting up our 

 threshers in various growing centers, 

 and were able to rush the cleaned vege- 

 tables to the canneries before they had 

 a chance to wither. Today we have in- 

 creased the growing radius from about 

 five miles to fifteen miles from our 

 plant. 



"I have made figures on the cost and 

 find that the economies of trucks are 

 very striking, even though we have to 

 lay them up idle during several months 

 in the winter. For our purposes, how- 

 ever, the truck service is not to be 

 measured solely by the cash economies 

 but by service, and we are able to do 

 more business and produce more and 

 better goods in our canneries than 

 would have been possible by the use of 

 horse trucks or farmers' wagons. The 

 automobile offers canners an immense 

 opportunity, in my opinion."

The Market. 



There is little change of market con- 

 ditions to report for this week. The 

 demand was a little better, but the 

 stock was poor. There is an abundance 

 of carnations and the local trade is 

 buying only the best grades. The same 

 can be said of roses and sweet peas. 

 The extremely hot weather had a bad 

 effect on all consignments shipped in. 

 Peonies are still plentiful; so are lilies 

 and valley. 



The approach of Memorial day should 

 clean up pretty well all the surplus 

 stock on hand. Prices will probably 

 go up a little, but not much. After 

 this comes school graduations and June 

 weddings, and we all expect some good 

 business. After June 15, not much of 



Just as sure as little apples, 

 some growers could make 

 more money doing general 

 housework than growing lily 

 bulbs. They persist upon 

 buying the cheapest they can 

 and expect the best results. 

 There is as much difference 

 in lily bulbs as between a 

 buzzard and a bird of para- 

 dise. It always pays to buy 

 the best, and the best pro- 

 duced, of course, are not the 

 cheapest. Grow them well — 

 take care of them — they want 

 plenty of moisture — and 

 remember that liquid manure 

 is to lilies what yeast is to 

 bread — they must have it to 

 be good. There is no better 

 flower than a lily for funeral 

 work and nothing more 

 appropriate — your business 

 requires them all the year 

 around. Cold storage Horse- 

 shoe Brand lily bulbs ready 

 for immediate or future 

 delivery.
