ERIE, PA. 



The Market 



Trade is keeping up splendidly. There 

 were several parties and one large funer- 

 al this week. Flowers are plentiful, 

 with bulbous stock in greatest demand. 

 California violets are at their best. 



Variouc Notes. 



Charles McCormick, representing the 

 Dennison Mfg. Co., Philadelphia, and 

 Arthur Zirkman, of M. Rice & Co., were

Another honor has come to G. H. 

 Baur. The University of Pennsylvania 

 debating team, of which he is the leader, 

 was given the unanimous decision in the 

 debate with Columbia University, Febru- 

 ary 26. Pennsylvania had the affirmative 

 side of the question, which was: "Re- 

 solved, That our legislation should be 

 shaped toward the gradual abandonment 

 of the protective tariff. " B. P. 



NORWICH, CONN. 



At the meeting of the New London 

 County Horticultural Society, held in the 

 parlors of the Buckingham Memorial, 

 February 22, Mrs. E. M. Rogers gave a 

 lecture on "Native Evergreens" and 

 Charles T. Beasley on "Annuals." 



The meeting was of much interest and 

 was well attended. President A. Alpheus 

 Gilbert was in the chair. The meeting 

 carried out the society's plan of having 

 occasional talks given before it on sub- 

 jects relating to horticulture. President 

 Gilbert introduced the first speaker of 

 the evening, Mrs. E. M. Rogers, who 

 gave the subject of evergreens a special 

 local application by confining it to those 

 found in this vicinity, of which she said 

 there were thirteen varieties. She showed 

 examples of them all, both by the ones 

 she had gathered and others in the form 

 of mounted specimens. Her interesting 

 talk was enjoyed by all, and several 

 questions were asked and answered. 



Chas. T. Beasley, gardener to Mrs. 

 Wm. Camp, gave a short, practical talk, 

 dealing particularly with the sweet pea. 

 Numerous questions were asked, all of 

 which were answered.

Let's Do Some Figuring 

 on Costs of Sash 



You pay, say, 90c each for ten of the "They'll do" kind of sash. 

 At the end of six years the joints are loosened and the frame is twisty, 

 which breaks the glass and loosens the putty almost every time you 

 handle them. Three more years of endless patching and bracing, and 

 they are absolutely worthless. This is the experience of a Long Island 

 grower who used to use hundreds of them every year. 



Now, ten of the L. & B. Sash That Last, unglazed, costing $1.12>^ 

 each (a special discount price to florists), will be solid as a rock ten 

 years from now. If given any kind of care they will be good for another 

 ten or fifteen years more. 



As proof of this statement, we can show you over one hundred of 

 L. & B. Sash That Last, that are owned by the largest nursery seedsman, 

 which have had twenty years constant outdoor exposure. From all 

 appearances they are good for at least another ten years. 



Take 100 of our Sash at $l.l2>i each, good for at least twenty 



years— cost $112.50 



Take 100 of the cheap ones at 90c each, good for not more than 

 nine years— cost $90.00 



At the end of the ninth year you must replace every one of these 

 "90 centers "—which is another $90.00 gone to the dogs. $180.00 spent, 

 against $112.50 for Sash That Last, which puts you just $67.50 in the 

 hole. In the bargain you have had a lot of patched up, twisty sash with 

 broken glass, for more than half the time. Sash that have been harder 

 to handle than ours, because they are made clumsier and weigh more. 

 Buying that kind of sash is a losing game any way you figure. 



Here is our proposition: You order 10 Sash as a trial, and we will 

 make you a liberal freight allowance on them. If, when you get these 

 Sash, they are not the best you ever saw and agree with our claims in 

 every way, then pack them up and ship them back that very day and we 

 will stand all freight charges. But the time to order is now, for this 

 offer holds good for only a limited time.
