The Weekly Florists' Review* 



AFRIL 20, 1899. 



ELECTRIC HEATING. 



Please let me know through The Re- 

 view something about electric heating 

 for greenhouses. I read in a floral pa- 

 per some time ago that some one is 

 heating his greenhouses with electri- 

 city. Can you tell me anything abo'.it 

 the cost, machinery used, etc.? 



N. GREIVELDING. 



We are advised by an electrical en- 

 gineer that the cost o£ heating by elec- 

 tricity is many times that of any oth- 

 er method. In the heating of stre.^t 

 cars, for which purpose electric heat 

 has been most largely used, it is es- 

 timated that on an average as much 

 current is used to supply heat as to 

 move the car. 



Electric heating will not be within 

 the reach of florists until the cost uf 

 producing electrical energy is very 

 considerably reduced. 



Probably the electrically heated 

 greenhouse, of which our correspond- 

 ent saw mention, was a small conser- 

 vatory owned by some amateur to 

 whom expense was not a material 

 matter. He probably took his current 

 from the service wires of an electric 

 lighting company, and had no ma- 

 chinery of his own, other than the ra- 

 diators. 



JADOO. 



We have received from the Ameri- 

 can Jadoo Co., 817 Fairmount avenue, 

 Philadelphia, a sample of their 25-cent 

 package of Jadoo Fibre, put up in at- 

 tractive form for florists to sell at re- 

 tail. It is a tin box 5x5x7 inches, with 

 a handsome lithographed label in col- 

 ors, upon which appear: "Hints on 

 growing plants in Jadoo Fibre," as 

 well as the name of material, price, 

 etc. These packages should make 

 very attractive shelf goods, and be 

 very convenient to offer customers in 

 search of "good soil." 



They also send us a sample 25-cent 

 bottle of Jadoo Liquid which is en- 

 closed in a carton and is gotten up In 

 attractive form to retail. The bottle 

 contains a full pint of Jadoo Liquid, 

 and with each is a circular giving ex- 

 tended directions for its use. 



PRICES ON GLASS. 



According to reports in the daily 

 press the Western Window Glass Job- 

 bers' Association met in secret ses- 

 sion in Chicago last Saturday and de- 

 cided on an increase of 10 per cent, in 

 the price of single strength glass and 

 15 per cent, in that of double strength. 

 It is said that the new schedule was 

 to go into effect at once to prevent 

 dealers from making any quick pur- 

 chases of glass at the old figures.
