THE FUEL QUESTION. 



The fuel question is a most impor- 

 tant one to the florist, and he is al- 

 ways on the lookout for fuel that will 

 produce the best results at a minimum 

 of cost. A number of Chicago growers 

 have been trying the New River 

 "smokeless" coal, supplied by the New 

 River Fuel Co.. Ellsworth building, 

 Chicago, and make very favorable re- 

 ports regarding it. 



Under date of Nov. 2, Mr. Paul Ko- 

 panka, foreman of the Morton Grove 

 Greenhouses, Morton Grove, 111., 

 writes as follows: "You asked me if 

 I could recommend New River coal 

 tor greenhouses. I will answer you 

 yes. emphatically yes. We have al- 

 ways been users of Indiana Block coal 

 and up to the middle of last winter 

 believed that nothing else was suita- 

 ble for greenhouse use. We tried then 

 a car of New River coal and were so 

 pleased with it that we have since 

 used no other kind. The coal burns 

 freely and gives an intense heat, mak- 

 ing no clinker whatever, a very small 

 per cent of ashes, and no soot or 

 smoke. In fact, I find it the best and 

 most economical fuel for greenhouse 

 purposes." 



HEATING. 



The American Radiator Co. is one 

 of the largest manufacturing concerns 

 in the country, with offices in all the 

 large cities. Last year they added a 

 department devoted to boilers, mak- 

 ing the "Ideal" heater, and have al- 

 ready sold some 3,000 of them. A copy 

 of their catalogue of boilers has 

 reached us and it is illustrated with 

 some of the handsomest engravings 

 we have ever seen. We understand 

 that the company will make a special- 

 ty of greenhouse heaters.

When Writing Advertisers, 



DEUTZIA LEMOINEI 



™B]|ITH0UT doubt one of the most important 

 IffJ new hardy plants offered m many vears. 

 ■ A J It is a hybrid between D. gracilis arid D. 

 ^MM\ parviflora and has the advantage over the 

 former of having flowers nearly three times as 

 large, which are produced in broad based cone- 

 shaped heads of from 20 to 30 flowers each, and 

 are of purest white, which open out verv full. It 

 is perfectly hardy, and will not only prove a valu- 

 able plant for the garden, but is certain to become 

 one of the standard plants for forcing into flower 

 in winter, more especially at Easter, and it is quite 

 sure to take the place of the popular D. gracilis. 



Strong one-year-old field-grown plants. $1.2.i per 

 dozen, $10.00 per 100. Strong 2;a-inch pot plants 

 for growing on, $5.00 per 100, $40.00 per 1000. 



We also offer a fine lot of two and three-vear-old 

 Deutzia Gracilis suitable lor potting up into 7-inch 

 pots for forcing, at $6.00 per 100,
