(First on introduction of 1901. at Kansas City) is certainly proving our claims for it and consequently 

 a money maker for the grower. It commands the highest price. Our stock is large and in grand 

 shape. No order is too large or too small for us to fill. 8S.OO per 100 ; $40.00 per 1000.

DOROTHY 



BLOOMSBURG, PA. 



In regard to the fire at our green- 

 houses on the night of the 1st would say 

 that our loss was not so great as re- 

 ported, being about .$500. We could as- 

 sign no reason for the same until to- 

 day, but we now think that some fresh 

 lime placed in a barrel b}- one of the 

 men, on which he had thrown some 

 water, was the cause of the fire. We 

 think there is no doubt but the barrel 

 caught fire from the fresh lime, and 

 while it had been placed on top of the 

 boilers, away from the woodwork, a 

 small piece must have reached it and 

 set fire to the floor. 



We were able soon after the fire was 

 over to start our boilers and keep our 

 place from freezing, but had these boil- 

 ers been damaged we had two other boil- 

 ers by which we could have kept the 

 house» from freezing. We certainly 

 would recommend having boiler houses 

 away from the greenhouses, as in a fire 

 such as we have had there is no danger 

 from smoke or fire doing any damage to 

 the plants. We would also recommend 

 the building of the boiler house of brick 

 or concrete so that in case of fire there 

 would be but very little woodwork to 

 burn and damage the pipes and stack.
