You can save money on your hose if you buy it by the reel and 

 couple it yourself. ; ' v"^ ^• 



Here's a continuous hose furnished in any length up to 600 feet on 

 reels that preserve it. When you want any sized length, you cut it and 

 have but two couplings to apply, whether the hose is 10 feet or 100 feet. 

 This saves couplings and the cost of applying them.

is made up of woven jacket insertions embedded in high 

 grade rubber. "Yankee" is really hose within ilOSet 



The jackets being endless, there is no seam to open and 

 leak as in canvas duck hose. The inner tube and the cover 

 are materials that withstand long and hard service. "Yankee" 

 is flexible and non-kinkable.

The Market. 



The cool days, which seem likely to 

 continue, did not prevent the city from 

 being flooded with peonies last week, 

 especially Saturday, when they could 

 be bought at various places for prices 

 varying from 1 cent each to $1 a dozen. 

 There has been an unusual demand for 

 spring bedding plants. 



Various Notes. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. says the 

 spring planting business was never bet- 

 ter. The Lakewood Cemetery Associa- 

 tion is entirely sold out of bedding 

 stock and is buying to supply the trade. 



Weddings continue to keep the florists 

 busy. Miss H. B. Whitted has been 

 unusually rushed and a short time ago 

 had eighteen wedding bouquets in one 

 day. She has had a great amount of 

 funeral work, especially out-of-town or- 

 ders. Her new delivery car, which is 

 a Wilcox, is quite handsome and is her 

 third of that make. 



Mr. Desmond, of the L. S. Donaldson 

 Co., reports business above the average; 

 especially for weddings, and the buyers 

 of medium priced flowers seem to be 

 buying more than usual. Miss Julia 

 Ells, of the Donaldson flower depart- 

 ment, has gone to Portland, Ore., for a 

 visit with her father. She expects to 

 be gone about a month. The Donaldson 

 Co. is rebuilding two old houses. Their 

 roses .are all planted and are looking 

 fine. W. F. H.
