COIL BOILERS. 



We have tried two different st.vle.s of 

 the pipe coil boiler and as they caused 

 us a good deal of trouble and some 

 ■loss we wish to caution others about 

 them. They may be all right where 

 hard coal is used, but when the fuel 

 is our western soft coal they clog up 

 in a year or so and are apt to then be- 

 gin to be leaky and troublesome as 

 well as ineffective. We iiave puiled 

 them all out and substituted a stand- 

 ard make of cast-iron boiler. We do 

 not want any more gas pipe arrange- 

 ments. J. W. MARGRAVE.

A "FLORAL NURSING BOTTLE." 



That's what M. Sherman, of Spring- 

 field. Mass., calls an invention of his. 

 It is a small cylinder of jjorous mate- 

 rial wi;h an open tube running to the 

 bottom and projecting above the sur- 

 face of the ground. The roots of 

 plants are trained around the cylinder 

 and liquid fertilizers poured into the 

 tube. It is claimed that extraordinary 

 growth and flowering results. It will 

 be tested this summer at the Massa- 

 chusetts State Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station.

The Lawritzen Putty. 



FOB GBEEKHOUSES ONI.Y. 



A good thing and one that every tiorist needs. 

 I have at last found a putty that I will guarantee 

 to stay on your house for ten years and not a drop 

 of water will ^o through it. 



I found this material in the northern part of 

 Germany ten years ago. My uncle now has a large 

 mill where this material is ground and separated, 

 and ttie putty is now used all over Germany. No 

 florist should he witliout it. I want every tiorist to 

 give this new putty a trial. It is applied with a 

 putty bulb and a boy or girl can putty a house 

 100x20 in a day, and it will stay there. 



Put up in one gallon cans only and the price 

 is $3.00 per gallon. Cash with order.
