ON THE LOOKOUT 



The florist is a progressive chap — wants new 

 things — things that give him an advantage over 

 the man without them or makes competition pos- 

 sible with the man having ihcm. But there are 

 a few time- tried things that are so simple.so good, 

 so sure, it costs you money and experience to 

 change^ our ventilating apparatus is one of 

 these things — no criss-cross levers — no chains 

 or cables — just the geai and arm principle. 

 Easy^to put up — easy to operate.

About Putting in Your Own 

 Heating Plants 



Yes, you perhaps will save a little at the first cost, but heat- 

 irg a greenhouse is not an ordinary plumber's proposition, 

 it demands the skill oi years — that is, if you want econ- 

 omy. By some little wrinkle such as knowing the exact 

 grade to insure a positive flow, we might save dollars, and 

 dollars. Say, it was only 15c a day — that means $273.00 in 

 five years. The question is, can you afford these local plum- 

 bers' experiments? Don't it pay to employ experts, people 

 you know, know their lri<;iness?

ERE is what Thomas Proctor, Superintendent for 

 R. W. Paterson, Lenox, Mass., says about U-Bar 

 houses. "So far as the style of construction is 

 concerned, I believe that the U-Bar type is as much 

 superior to the very best ty])e of the ordinary 

 iron frame construction as the iron frame houses 



are to the old wooden sash bar houses." Send for our new catalog 



and know why they are 



so " much superior." Pier=
