Grap 



e Dust ^ 



'■"ADt.lAKW*'' 



Beeristered in TJ. S. Patent Office 



KILLS MILDEW INDOORS AND OUT 



Contains Sulphur 64 per cent., Copper Sulphate 3 per cent. U. S. P. 



Now, In regards to your "Grape Dust," I must say that when I first heard of it I had 

 but little faith in it, because I had tried all the remedies for Mildew I had ever heard of, 

 but they were of little value. It seems that my location favors Mildew especially. When 

 other Florists are but little troubled, my houses are generally well covered with the Mil- 

 dew, so when I sent for the first keg of "Grape Dust" my Roses were almost worthless, 

 but since using the "Grape Dust" my Roses are the "Picture of Health." There is not a 

 vestige of Mildew to be seen on my place, and my Roses fetch double the price; besides, 

 I have saved a month of firing, which I used to be compelled to do to kill Mildew. 



Yours respectfully, F. J. A. SCHAEFER, Florist,

NEW BEDFOBD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade remains about the same as 

 usual. There is not much doing out- 

 side of funeral work, but that is plen- 

 tiful. Asters are the flowers that are 

 principally depended on just now; there 

 is a good supply of them and the qual- 

 ity also is satisfactory. Queen of the 

 Market is the sort that is most gen- 

 erally grown in this vicinity. Carna- 

 tions are about played out, and those 

 that are left are poor and small. 



Asters retail at 35 cents per dozen. 

 Roses are still coming in; they retail at 

 $1 to $1.50 per dozen. Gladioli are 

 also good now; they sell at $1 per 

 dozen for the best. There are also 

 plenty of outdoor flowers, such as zin- 

 nias, marigolds, phloxes, etc., for use 

 in making up bouquets. Sweet peas are 

 not up to the usual quality, as it has 

 been rather dry for them, but the re- 

 cent rains will revive them consider- 

 ably. These sell at 50 cents per hun- 

 dred blooms. 



Various Notes. 



Early closing is still the rule. This 

 is a good time to take vacations. 



W. S. Brown has the contract for the 

 grading around the newly altered mu- 

 nicipal buildings. He still has seven 

 men employed in cutting grass and do- 

 ing garden work. W. L. 



Keene, N. H. — Ellis Bros. & Co. are 

 rebuilding one of their greenhouses, 

 erecting a storehouse, and enlarging 

 and improving their establishment in 

 various other ways.
