that to pave space, greenhouses might 

 be erected on the Ferris wheel plan, the 

 houses to be fa.stened on the outside, the 

 same as the regular carriages of the 

 ■wheel. 



According to this plan, Mr. Williams 

 thinks that several advantages can be 

 obtained over the old style. For instance 

 on hot days as the wheel revolves an 

 artificial current of air would be pro- 

 duced which would prove beneficial to the 

 growth of the plants. And then, on the 

 other hand, when the days were very 

 cold all the houses could be heated by 

 one furnace and thus there would be 

 great economy in the matter of fuel. 



Another great advantage to be obtained 

 would be the fact that thirty greenhouses 

 could be built on the same siiace required 

 for three or four of the present kind. 

 And in the mornings before the sun was 

 high enough to send its shining light to 

 the earth the wheel could be put in revo- 

 lution and each house in its turn would 

 be given an earlier introduction to the 

 sun's rays. This would be a great aid 

 in securing early bloom. As an old pro- 

 verb says— The early bird is often eaten 

 by the cat. 



Mr. Williams would erect the wheels 

 so they could be turned east, west, north 

 or south and if it were necessary Ero. 

 Williams would have an artificial sun 

 and his idea would be to rent these 

 houses to young gardeners, like Geo. 

 Kuhn. who could become wealthy 

 through our protective tariff and war 

 duties. His idea was to erect those re- 

 volving, wheeling greenhouses at Car- 

 tontown so as to be near the Oceanic 

 Central Market place and the great 

 steamboat docks. 



It is ver.v gratifying that such an enter- 

 prise should be conceived in Oceanic, and 

 it proves the fact that this town possess- 

 es brain and talent which the whole 

 world is bound to recognize in the fu- 

 ture. Bro. Williams will have his thought 

 patented.

 an excellent wall paper because it is so 

 highly colored. Kindly subscribe for the

Ed. Florists' Review: Learning 

 that some strictures h'lve been placed 

 on the attitude of Chicago toward the 

 next meeting place of the S. A. F., it 

 would seem that a few words of expla- 

 nation may be advisable. It seema 

 th,<)t there are a few benighted indi- 

 viduals who think there is a remote 

 possibility that the convention may go 

 to Buffalo, and who wish to know 

 what Chicago will do in such an event. 



It is exceedingly difficult to conceive 

 that such a thing may occur and hard- 

 ly worth while to speculate on it. How-

ever, it is not difficult to imag ne 

 what Chicago would do in such an 

 event. It would simply be a case of 

 "We move to make it unanimous" and 

 turn in and strain every nerve to make 

 the convention a success, wherever 

 held. In the meantime there is no 

 Chicago florist who is not willing to 

 play all sorts of odds on Chicago to 

 win. W. N. RUDD.
