THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of 

 greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the 

 loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce 

 this expense. 



Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly joined ; 

 the rollers are of the best seamless stefel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length 

 by 2*4 inches in diameter. Cut.shows how they operate. 



A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart 

 containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which 

 are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty 

 boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con- 

 venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- 

 ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar. 



We shall be pleased to furnish fiu*ther details relative to construction and dura- 

 bility of the carriers; also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- 

 houses, furnish aniestimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

. "Good but sluggish" expresses to a 

 nicety the condition of the market last 

 week and this. The ends of supply 

 and demand are coming together and 

 the market is in a much better condi- 

 tion than it was. There is a firmness 

 to business, really apparent for the 

 first time since Easter, that is most 

 gratifying. Prices, too, are holding up 

 better than they did for a while. There 

 is not as much jobbing right now. 



There is an adequate offering of 

 everything seasonable at this time and 

 the market in each line is in fairly 

 good condition. The supply is selling 

 up pretty well. Lilies still are a posi- 

 tive drug and the quantity on hand 

 is so large that it is difiicult to realize 

 real prices for them. 



The green goods business is good. 



Various Notes. 



Ed Buschle, of C. E. Critchell's, is 

 the last victim of Cupid 's darts. He 

 will wed Miss T. Shildrink June 1. 

 .Judging from their selection of the 

 day of the month for the event, it looks 

 somewhat as though they wished June 

 would be here sooner. 



C. E. Critchell looks for a big call 

 for magnolia leaves before Decoration 

 day. 



Frank & Sons, of Portland, Ind., are 

 sending in Killarney, White Killarney, 

 Bride and Maid of the highest quality. 

 This condition of their stock has kept 

 up on everything since last fall. 



The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange 

 has been receiving choice giganteum 

 lilies from the two Schumann firms, on 

 Alexandria pike, Newport, Ky. 



William Murphy reports a steadily 

 increasing demand for greens from out- 

 side points.

 eimer Bros., New York; M. Reukauf,

Warsaw, N. Y.— H. S. Baker is build- 

 ing an addition of two greenhouses. 

 One of them, 44x144, is of steel and 

 concrete construction; the other, 22x75, 

 has a cypress framework. He also ex- 

 pects to install a new boiler. 



Middletown, N. Y. — James P. Lough, 

 formerly proprietor of the Flower 

 Farm, with offices at 10 to 18 Grand 

 avenue, has discontinued his business 

 there, but expects to enter the trade 

 again at some other location.

|F you are localed in the weat, your proposition is handled by our western 

 men, who know western conditions and requiiementa thoroughly. Your 

 materials will be made in our new western factory, just outside of 



Chicago. Deliveries are prompt— freights are lowest possible. No waiting for 



delayed eastern shipments. 



|HE eastern man, used to eastern ways and wanting to do business with 

 men keenly posted on eastern conditions, has the advantage and conve- 

 nience of our New York, Boston or Philadelphia offices. Our eastern 

 factory (an hour's ride from New York) is the very center of eastern distribu- 

 tion. Shipments can be made by rail or water. In comparison with western 

 factories, we cut out a thousand miles* freight delays— and, incidentally, the 

 freight charges. Whether east or west, we have the factories, the facilities and 

 the men, who are the wide-awake ones in the greenhouse business.
