The Weekly Floristi' Review.

500 Feel Leogliis 



Florists, who are always finding a new place or 

 purpose for the use of hose, will appreciate the 

 convenience and economy of hose furnished in 

 lengths of 500 feet, from which they can cut any 

 size desired. This means a saving of couplings, 

 and from having shorfc^ pieces on hand. 



"YANKEE" "ftSii" 



is non-kinking and long-wearing. It is really 

 hose within hose. No seams to open and leak. 

 Yankee will stand hard and continuous use.

BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The annual observance of Mothers' 

 day is now quite an established feature 

 in Canada's history, and florists gener- 

 ally are having a busy week prior to 

 Sunday, May 12, the day on which the 

 anniversary is held this year. 



Carnations are somewhat scarce, now 

 that throwing out has begun, butjpses 

 are arriving in great quantities and 

 their quality leaves nothing to be de- 

 sired. The prices were never lower for 

 this stock so early in the season; $6, $4 

 and $2 are the ruling rates for the cur- 

 rent week for first, second and third 

 grades, respectively. 



Bulbous stock, after an exceptionally 

 good season, is about played out, noth- 

 ing but a few late tulips being brought 

 in for sale. 



Sweet peas, both at R. Jennings' 

 greenhouses and at the Dale Estate, are 

 of much better quality than those pro- 

 duced during the last two or three 

 years, and the demand for these flow- 

 ers has grown enormously this season. 

 Many florists who would order them 

 last year by the hundred now need them 

 by the thousand, and their popularity 

 seems largely increased by the fact that 

 they are "all the rage in England" at 

 present. 



Work at the Dale Estate proceeds 

 apace. All the old, small houses have 

 been torn down, to be replaced by three 

 houses 25x850 feet. Thousands of tons 

 of soil have to be dug up and carted in 

 to level up, and, with the emptying of 

 houses and replanting for next season, 

 this establishment appears to be one of 

 the busiest hives of industry in the 

 neighborhood. W. G. P. 



West Toledo, O. — Three new Garland 

 houses are being built here by Heinl's 

 Greenhouses. Two are supported by 

 pipes and are 31x133 and 20x133 respec- 

 tively, the third being 25% x 133, of 

 trussed iron frame construction.

 — the Bar that 

 makes U-Bar 



Greenhouses the 

 famous green- 

 hoaaea they are. 



It's every way practical, because, first and foremost 

 it is a D-Bar house. That tells its own story of a care- 

 fully planned plan— a perfect arrangement of the heat- 

 ing—ample ventilation and the innumerable little thintrs 

 that go with a thoroughly thought out and liberally con- 

 structed house. A splendid piece of workmanship it is 

 from start to finish. No skimping done. U-Bar houses 

 are not built that way. 



They are sold because of what thay ar* and not 

 because of how cheap they are. If you want a top-notch 

 house that unquestionably excels all other curved-eave 

 houses— then the U-Bar is the one. Write us.
