A NEW BOILER. 



As will be seen by our advertising 

 pages this week there is a new sec- 

 tional boiler in the maiket which can 

 be used for hot water or steam heat- 

 ing. It bears the name of an old firm 

 that has always had a reputation for 

 doing good work; the name of the 

 new boiler is the "Weathered." Mr. 

 Samuel Burns, the inventor, is a man 

 of large experience in heating matters, 

 and is always found at his best when 

 working out some knotty problem in 

 greenhouse heating. The business of 

 the Weathereds was established in 

 1859 by Thomas W. Weathered. Mr. 

 Burns entered his employ in 1868 and 

 has been with the firm ever since. This 

 new boiler shows every evidence of 

 careful study, all the details of green- 

 house requirements having been pro- 

 vided for. From a careful considera- 

 tion of the cuts submitted to us we 

 should say that the new boiler has 

 some entirely new features. We are 

 informed that this boiler has been 

 under consideration for a long time 

 and is the result of careful calcula- 

 tion and experiment. The inventor 

 claims many things for it, and we 

 commend it to our readers as some- 

 thing that may prove of value to the 

 trade. Send for catalogue giving full 

 particulars. 



NEW LONDON, CONN. 



I spent a pleasant and profitable 

 couple of hours the other day with the 

 veteran John Spalding, whom I found 

 looking over some fine plants of Arau- 

 caria imbricata and Gold Queen holly. 

 These were pretty plants, but how in- 

 significant to those noble specimens 

 we have seen flourishing in the north- 

 ern section of the Emerald Isle. We 

 remember particularly one specimen 

 of the first mentioned towering thirty 

 feet tall and of immense spread, not 

 an imperfect needle or spine upon it. 

 Mr. Spalding also had some well- 

 grown pots of lily of the valley, one of 

 the best lots of Easter lilies I have yet 

 seen, pansies in pans, Dutch hya- 

 cinths, a fine bed of antirrhinum 

 Queen of the North, all .iust right for 

 Easter, while among general stock I 

 noted the very fragrant Lycaste aro- 

 matica, an excellent orchid for 

 boutonnieres, and also many aquatic 

 plants. W. M. 



GALESBURG, ILL.— Gesler & Rob- 

 bins narrowly escaped a bad fire the 

 morning of March 26. An overheated 

 steam pipe set fire to some adjoining 

 woodwork, but fortunately the flames 

 were discovered in time to prevent 

 any serious loss.
