Successors to SMITH-THOMAS POTTKRT 

 Manufacturers of CHERRY RED STANDARD POTS of all sices 



Our clay is mined from the old Morrow County Beaver Swamp, which enables us to furnish florists with 

 pots noted for strength , porosity, beauty in color, lightness in weight and smoothness in surface, making 

 them especially adapted to the successful growth of plants. 



Our factory is equipped with new and up-to-date machinery. Our capacity is greater and our ware- 

 house full of stock. We are ready to give all orders prompt attention. Give us your order and we will 

 satisfy you.

DETBOIT. 



The Market. 



In the first part of last week business 

 was not brisk, but it livened up as the 

 week drew to a close and ended with a 

 good total. 



Stock of every description is good and 

 moving nicely. Carnations are exception- 

 ally fine. Sweet peas are also fine and 

 are 'being used in large quantities for 

 wear. White carnations are in good de- 

 mand for St. Patrick's day. 



Various Notes. 



Robert Miesel joined the benedicts last 

 week. 



At the meeting of the club, March 20, 

 Ferdinand Kolbe will address the mem- 

 bers on "Carnation Growing." 



E. A, Fetters has placed an order for 

 an Oliver auto delivery car. It is to 

 have a specially designed body, suitable 

 for florists' use, and promises to be some- 

 thing fine. 



Ed Beard put on more help last week. 

 This time it is a baby boy. 



W. B. Brown is kept pretty busy at- 

 tending to the chickens on his farm at 

 Birmingham and looking after the store. 

 He recently purchased a touring car, to 

 reduce the distance between store and 

 farm. H. S. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Trade continues good and flowers are 

 plentiful. Koses are in good supply and 

 bulbous stock is low in price. Freesias 

 are about done, but alyssum is in good 

 crop and is useful for funeral work, 

 which has been good. Plant trade is 

 booming; in fact, no fault can be found 

 with the market at present. Violets are 

 in good demand. 



The weather is quite mild and retail 

 .prices range about as follows: Carna- 

 tions, 60 to 75 cents per dozen; roses, 

 $1.50; tulips, daffodils and Paper 

 Whites, 50 cents; double Murillo tulips, 

 75 cents; snapdragons, $1; mignonette, 

 60 cents; violets, $1 per hundred, and 

 sweet peas from $1 to $1.50 for the same 

 quantity. 



Various Notes. 



Chas. F. Lawton, city forester, deliv- 

 ered an interesting address on various 

 tree pests before the Horticultural So- 

 ciety last week. 



The street fakers were out again last 

 Saturday selling flowers at cheap prices. 



Wm. P. Peirce, E, H. Chamberlain, 

 Wm. H. Davenport and E. E. Nofftz had 

 nice window displays last week. 



Mr. Leahy, manager of the Star dry 

 goods store, has offered 1,000 catalpa 

 trees for planting by the school children 

 of the city on Arbor day. 



S. S. Peckham is cutting some nice 

 snapdragons. W. L.

Syracuse Red Pots 



€L"A little pot is soon hot"; so 

 is a thin pot. Our pots are 

 much thinner and tougher 

 than others. It's the quality 

 of the clay. Write for our
