Our Purpose 



is to make one kind of 

 refrigerators (florist), and 

 "make them better." It's 

 that policy that has put 

 Buchbinder refrigerators 

 ahead of all othersin econ- 

 omy, design, workmanship 

 and simplicity of opera- 

 tion. We don't dicker 

 with a dozen or more kinds. 



We carry large numbers 

 of stock models in various 

 sizes and designs that can 

 be shipped promptly.

 deslgrn you want.

men's Association, all the members of 

 both societies inspected this firm's 

 houses and many favorable comments 

 were made by the visitors. The firm 

 has been experimenting with dynamit- 

 ing their soil during the last two 

 seasons, to secure better moisture re- 

 tention. They are well pleased with the 

 results thus far. They gave a demon- 

 stration for the Dupont Powder people 

 while the nurserymen were there. 



J. H. Corbitt's place is crowded with 

 spring stock and he was never better 

 prepared for a good spring business. 

 He is growing bedding plants almost 

 exclusively this season. 



Haury & Sons are managing to keep 

 their stock well cleaned up most of the 

 time. Their primroses are still a fea- 

 ture of their windows. They are sell- 

 ing large quantities of Dutch bulbs in 

 pots, especially Golden Spur. 



Some of the smaller growers who have 

 no retail place, and who devote only 

 a part of their time to growing pot 

 plants, have wagons on the street every 

 warm day now, with hyacinths and 

 ferns. 



Joe Brown, of Lischey's Gardens, 

 continues in tolerably good health and 

 it really looks as though he were recov- 

 ering from his long illness. He says that 

 business with him is about normal this 

 year. 



Geny Bros, have had an unusually 

 heavy cut of carnations right along and 

 their bulbous stock is extra good. They 

 say that business has improved de- 

 cidedly of late. They have some of the 

 best violets that have been seen thus 

 far this season, and a good cut of them, 

 too. 



At Mt. Olivet, trade is somewhat 

 slack, but there is a good stock for the 

 spring trade and especially for Easter.
