JULY 13, 1899. 



The Weekly Florists' Review. 



149 



busy in the rose house, when the first 

 of the hailstones began to fall, our 

 first impression was, "that the scene 

 of operations had been suddenly 

 changed from the Philippine Islands 

 to the Hudson valley. A falling pane 

 of glass came in very close proximity 

 to our nose and soon they came so 

 thick and fast, that we concluded liv- 

 ing in a greenhouse was no longer 

 safe. So we hurried to a place with a 

 stronger roof to contemplate the seri- 

 ousness of the situation. The following 

 are a few of the losses as near as can 

 be estimated: F. R. Pierson Co.. $3,000; 

 Miss H. M. Gould. $3,000; Cooke & Mc- 

 Cord, $1,200; H. W. Webb. $1,200; 

 Chas. Graef, $1,000; Louis Stern, $500; 

 John T. Terry, $200: J. Eastman. $100; 

 Major Hopkins, $100; and many oth- 

 ers. JAS. T. SCOTT. 



SOIL CRUSHER. 



The soil crushing machine offered by 

 the Florists' Supply Co., of North Ton- 

 awanda, N. Y., has been used by a 

 number of florists in the vicinity of 

 Chicago, who pronounce it one of the 

 most valuable labor saving devices 

 they have ever had.

Greenhouse Woodwork \ 



( )pen-air-dried Cypress Lumber is mure durable, and better suited to Green- j§| 

 house conditions than kiln-dried stock. But you cannot get it from those 

 that are engaged in the business in a small way — even though their entire 



business is confined t > greenhouse material for it take;, a long time for the ~ 



lumber to thoroughly dry and this means an investment in lumber that only p 



those of large capital ran make. The only way to have air-dried lumber is |§ 



to buy green lumber and hold it until it dries. Those that order dry lum- ^ 

 ber from the producers >>f Cypress get kiln-dried stock. It is cheaper for 

 them to kiln -dry than to hold the stock long enough to season it in the open 



air. We carry a large stock and fill all orders with open-air-dried Cypress p 



clear of knots, sap and all Other defects. g
