The Market. 



Despite the disagreeable weather pre- 

 vailing here on the Saturday preceding 

 Easter, the trade was the best the local 

 trade has ever enjoyed. Practically 

 everything, in both plants and cut flow- 

 ers, of good quality sold well. Roses 

 were in best demand. Violets were 

 scarce and of poor quality. Sweet peas 

 and valley were in heavy demand, large 

 quantities of the latter being used in 

 corsage work. In plants lilies, hydran- 

 geas, roses and bulbous stock sold best. 



Various Notes. 



Honaker the Florist had a fine dis- 

 play of both cut flowers and plants. 

 He reports the best Easter trade he has 

 ever had. The shipping business was 

 immense. David B. Honaker was mar- 

 ried April 18 to Miss Lillian Irvine, of 

 this city. They are in New York on 

 their honeymoon. 



Michler Bros. Co. reports a general 

 clean-up for Easter, lilies and bulbous 

 stock being their best sellers. This 

 firm is unusually busy just now with 

 landscape work. A new house for roses 

 is about completed. 



The John A. Keller Estate had an 

 excellent display of Easter stock. Three 

 houses of hydrangeas, lilies, roses, 

 azaleas and bulbous stock made a sight 



worth going to fioe. The cuts of roses, 

 carnations, peas, etc., were' in just right 

 for Easter. It required some hustling 

 to handle so large a quantity of stock. 

 Their business was fully up to expecta- 

 tions. 



Kelley & Current had the best lilies 

 in this market, which found a ready 

 sale. A big supply of roses and spi- 

 raeas sold well. They had a downtown 

 stand during the rush. 



Miss Fannie White reports the best 

 Easter of her experience. Her display 

 for Easter consisted of a general line 

 of well grown stock. She is now busy 

 getting ready for the spring trade. 

 Thousands of plants are being grown 

 for cemetery planting. 



Keller, Florist, disposed of large 

 quantities of both plants and cut flow- 

 ers for Easter. An increase was noted 

 for cut flowers and corsage work over 

 last year. This firm has been busy of 

 late with funeral work. J. P. K. 



HELENA, MONT. 



Weather conditions up to and in- 

 cluding Easter were ideal, with the re- 

 sult that everything cleaned up. Com- 

 pared with last year, when cold weather 

 prevented early shopping, trade showed 

 a substantial increase. Baskets of 

 plants and flowers were much in de- 

 mand. Roses, especially Radiance, were 

 in good supply and of first-class qual- 

 ity. Snapdragons and bulbous stock 

 were plentiful, but not in excess of the 

 exceptionally strong demand. 



The State Nursery Co. reports a 

 splendid business. Easter lilies were 

 in good shape, but were not enough to 

 go around. Both automobiles were 

 kept busy and deliveries were made in 

 prompt and careful shape. T. W. H.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state 

 that I planted seedling stock plants and snap- 

 dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I 

 received from you early in January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain about the 16th of 

 February. They made a GOOD GROWTH while 

 in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they 

 bad never been moved at all. 



I have now about 14,000 carnation plants 

 started in 2-ln. bands which are making a RAPID 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant In transplant- 

 ing from tbe sand. 



I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-ln. bands which can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 if I used 2-ln. pots. 



Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



I make my bands and set them in flats, as 1 

 make them up, each flat holding 117. 



When we get crowded Indoors It takes but a 

 short time to move the flats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them off before setting them In 

 the field. 



One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the 

 field from these bands and flats than he can from 

 pots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP. CLEAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS 



I believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver ordered 5000 Dirt Bands in Decem- 

 ber, 40,000 in January, and 20,000 in March. 



Samples, postage paid. Prompt shipment.
