SPRINGFIELD, MO. 



Our tbriviug city was visited by a 

 destructive hail storm in the evening of 

 March 21 and the florists suffered se- 

 verely. The losses are as follows: In 

 AV. A. Chalf ant's range of eight houses, 

 11,500 feet of glass, nearly 4,000 feet 

 were broken. This range was glazed 

 with 16x24 double strength. The Suin- 

 nierfield Floral Co., with 7,800 feet, had 

 7.200 broken; single strength glass. 

 Chas. Summerfield, vegetable grower, 

 with 14,500 feet, had nearly 13,000 

 broken: mixed double and single 

 strength. E. Koeppen, with 8,000 feet, 

 had 6,500 feet broken, double and single 

 strength. Ed Quinn, with 8,000 feet, had 

 7,500 feet broken; single strength. All 

 are insured in the Florists' Hail Asso- 

 ciation. 



In addition to this, rain storms con- 

 tinued and culminated in a drop to 25 

 degrees on the evening of March 25, 

 with prospects for colder weather. 

 Plants were frozen in the beds and the 

 prospects for Easter trade are almost 

 nothing. Trade has been the best in 

 years and all were looking forward to a 

 heavy spring trade. Several of the tirnis 

 have" begun reglazing and hope soon to 

 be in a normal condition. C. 



THE SUPERIOR BOILER. 



One day in summer a man who makes 

 an occasional boiler for florists but who 

 doesn't advertise the fact, was seen 

 ■crawling out' from under a boiler at 

 George Reinberg's, Chicago, and, on be- 

 ing questioned, admitted that he had 

 heard that the Superior was a great 

 heater and he wanted "to see how the 

 darned thing was built." While it may 

 be a little bit apart from the ethics of 

 the boiler making profession to go crawl- 

 ing around inside the other fellow's de- 

 vice, still there isn 't any secret about the 

 way the Superior is built ; it is simplicity 

 itself, as you can see for yourself, with- 

 out crawling under it. There are a great 

 many in use around Chicago and their 

 fame is steadily widening, until last sea- 

 son sales were made in several states. 

 The manufacturer is the Superior Ma- 

 ctine & BoQer Works, and they have this 

 season booked a nice line of business for 

 summer delivery. 



The George M. Garland Co. asks us 

 to supplement our note on the establish- 

 ment of N. Zweifel, Milwaukee, in thp 

 last issTie by sayiufi that the houses arc 

 on the iron"<rutter of that firm.
