NEW IRON GUTTER 



NEW IRON SIDE WALL CONSTRUCTION 



FigJ 



One of the features of this gutter is that it can be 

 put up in wrought iron, any lengths (without boring 

 holes), by bolting the gutter together and screwing 

 clip to the roof-bars for any size glass. 



With a little extra cost above wood anyone can 

 have an iron-wall greenhouse by bolting the differ- 

 ent pieces together and securing roof-bars for any 

 size glass with the clips. 



The above are only two of the many latest and up-to-date materials we have. Gret our prices on Greenhouse 

 Louisiana Cypress material, heating, ventilating^, bench materials, hotbed sash, etc.

The Market. 



The situation last week was depress- 

 ing, there being little demand for any- 

 thing in the way of flowers, and as a 

 result stock piled up and prices ruled 

 low. The supply of carnations seems to 

 have had no limit, though conditions at 

 the time of writing seem to have some- 

 what improved. The quality has been 

 exceptionally fine, but buyers were un- 

 usually discriminating. Cheap and com- 

 mon stock was entirely neglected and 

 cleaning up sales were made in many 

 instances at extremely low prices. 

 Easter lilies are beginning to be seen 

 on all counters in liberal quantities. 

 The indications are that the supply will 

 be large. Callas are also plentiful. 

 Roses are of exceptionally good quality 

 and are moving fairly well. 



The consignments of southern daffo- 

 dils are now about at their height and 

 the receipts are evidently more than can 

 be handled. Many consignments arrived 

 in bad condition — in fact, so soft as to 

 be unsalable. Greens are more plentiful. 



The market men are out in force and 

 the sidewalks look like a flower show. 

 The class of goods offered indicates an 

 oversupply of bulbous stock. Q. 



COLUMBUS, O. 



A regular meeting of the Columbus 

 Florists' Association was held Friday 

 evening, March 31, at the Chittenden 

 hotel, with a large attendance. After 

 the routine business was completed it 

 was discovered that a few hitches had 

 developed on the show problem and it 

 was therefore indefinitely postponed.

Iron Frame Greenhouses 



Discriminating greenhouse people 

 want the best. Why buy an inferior 

 article? You want a greenhouse 

 that will last and be a good greenhouse 

 for a long time. The difference 

 between material for the best iron 

 frame house and an ordinary sash 

 bar house is so small a propor- 

 tional part of the cost that thinking 

 people willingly pay the difference^ 

 and in the long run it is vastly 

 economical. They bring results and 

 prevent worry. Let us figure with 

 you.
