THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soli Into and out of 

 grreenhouses. 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 steel 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 further details relative to construction and dura- 

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

 houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your reaulrements.

The Market. 



Trade has been good for the last two 

 weeks, as June weddings and funeral 

 work were plentiful. The weather is 

 getting hot and no doubt there will be 

 little other than funeral work from now 

 on. 



Stock of most kinds is plentiful; Kil- 

 larneys and Beauties are still first-class 

 and Easter lilies are obtainable in quan- 

 tities, but sweet peas have not been suf- 

 ficiently abundant to supply the de- 

 mand. Some first-class Shasta daisies 

 and gladioli are to be had. There are 

 also plenty of garden flowers. 



The bedding business, with most flo- 

 rists, was as good as in former years 

 There are still a few calls for bedding 

 plants, but good stock is a little scarce. 



Various Notes. 



Harry Pahud, with the Pahud Floral 

 Co., was quietly married last week. 



Fred Hukreide is attending the Dem- 

 ocratic convention at Baltimore. 



A. Wiegand & Sons are cutting some 

 fine cattleyas. This firm has been quite 

 busy with wedding decorations. 



S. T. Hitz & Son have been cutting 

 some first-class Easter lilies. 



Sidney Smith tore down the end of 

 one of his greenhouses last week while 

 cutting down a tree, which fell the 

 wrong way. H. L. W. 



Hinsdale, Mass. — L. B. Brague & Son 

 have adopted corrugated paper boxes 

 for all express shipments of hardy cut 

 ferns, figuring that it will effect a sav- 

 ing of at least twenty-five per cent in 

 the express charges their customers have 

 to pay.

 difficulties for the grower to overcome-

 GREENHOUSE MANURING 



The enonnoua demand from leading growers 

 throughout the country is best proof of this. 

 Superior stock can only be grown by the 

 application of superior methods. 

 Wizard Brand is superior to rough stable 

 manure because it is uniform, highly concen- 

 trated and specially treated to destroy weed 

 seeds, fungus germs and bacteria which many 

 times make heavy losses. 



The Best Manure 



Is The Cheapest Manure 



It saves labor, is convenient and decidedly 

 most effective. 



Insist on Wizard Brand when you buy. 

 Your supply house can furnish it or we ship 

 promptly on direct orders.
