Strong or gentle flow — very little attention 

 required after turning on the water — ^These 

 pictures show the diversity of uses. 



The special nozzles, set in overhead pipes, spray 

 the water in a fine mist uniformly all over the plants 

 and ground, just like a steady, gentle rain. 



The most delicate foliage cannot be injured; the 

 ground does not cake and crack, but keeps soft and 

 porous, letting in air so essential to rapid plant growth. 



The Skinner System of Irrigation will save enough in 

 labor in one season to pay for itself. The area that one 

 man can water is limited only by the extent of the inttallation. 



Write today for our interesting, illastrated 

 booklets on indoor and outdoor irrigation.

The Market. 



Trade is heavy here at present, with 

 a good supply of stock coming in. Roses 

 have been in good crop and the quality 

 is all that could be desired, so they 

 have been used up closely right along. 

 Carnations have been in heavy crop, 

 with the demand about, equal to the 

 supply, and quality never better at this 

 date. Sweet peas are still coming in 

 heavily and are about all cleaned up 

 daily. 



Violets are about done; there are a 

 few coming in, but the quality is 

 rather poor and some retailers have 

 cut them out entirely as a consequence. 



Beauties have been more plentiful in 

 the last week or so, with demand some- 

 what light. There are quite a lot of 

 blooming plants to be seen now, re- 

 minding us that spring is here. Among 

 them are geraniums, fuchsias, pansies, 

 etc., in large quantities. The demand 

 is quite heavy on potted ferns and 

 large numbers are being moved. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting Tuesday evening, April 25, 

 with a good attendance, considering 

 that all the greenhouse men are busy 

 with their spring work. 



Wm. Graff has been in Chicago sev- 

 eral days on a business trip. 



Sherman Stephens reports heavy 

 business on Sundays. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. is cut- 

 ting heavily on carnations and roses. 



E. Metzmaier reports heavy business. 



The Columbus Floral Co. is getting 

 some good cuts in carnations. J. M.
