FANCY BOXWOOD SPRAYS 



IT MEANS a big: saving to buy the quality of Boxwood Sprays 

 ^ that you can use every bit of. It means a big loss to^you 

 when you pay for heavy wood and poor quality. 



We stand by every pound we ship; you take no risk on our 

 quality or weight. Our special light-weight shipping cases are 

 express savers. Let us send you a sample case of 50 pounds, 

 net weight, at $7.50; if not satisfactory, no pay. Better get 

 your order in early. We are selling up close to our supply.

Benton Harbor, Michigan 



Eussell is wanted by everyone and only 

 a small part of the orders can be filled. 

 Richmond is now arriving of superb 

 quality, some having 4-foot to 6-foot 

 stems. Both Killarney Queen and 

 Double White Killarney are of excellent 

 quality, though growers are doubting if 

 they will prove as profitable in winter 

 as the older sorts. Hillingdon, Sun- 

 burst, Taft and Ward are all selling 

 well, but at lower rates. Carnations are 

 mostly going at $2 to $3 per hundred, 

 with fancies at $4 and some special 

 grades at $5. Violets are not over- 

 plentiful and the bulk hold up to the 

 dollar mark. 



Valley has sold well, and for Lilium 

 longiflorum the call has been unusually 

 good. Paper Whites are abundant. A 

 small number of Trumpet Majors are 

 seen and freesias made their appearance 

 this week. Snapdragons are more plenti- 

 ful, but sell well, as do both yellow and 

 white marguerites. Stevia is in heavy 

 supply. Gardenias are rather more 

 plentiful, but cattleyas are in rather 

 short supply. Sweet peaa are coming 

 from a number of growers. The best 

 grades sell w-ell, but short-stemmed 

 stock is hard to move. The demand for 

 smilax, asparagus and ferns is good. 



Trade in pot plants is becoming ac- 

 tive and the large growers report that 

 they are already pretty well sold out. 

 Poinsettias, cyclamens, oranges, be- 

 gonias, ardisias, primulas, ericas and 

 azaleas are the leaders.
