THE 

 BOILER OF 



Unequalled Fuel Economy 



Kroeschell Boilers, the best by test since 

 1879. Forty years' experience. 



THE QUALITY PLACE OF BOSTON 



Regarding the Kroeschell, It is the 

 best we have ever had and satisfac- 

 tory beyond our expectations. It heats 

 up especially quick anil has saved us 

 considerably already In the price of 

 fuel. When we are in need of another 

 boiler we will give the Kroeschell the 

 first consideration.

THE FLORISTS BULLETIN 

 Florists of Great Britain are show- 

 ing a great degree of activity especial- 

 ly since the close of the war, and 

 there is every reason to believe that 

 the industry in England is to be placed 

 on a higher plane than ever before. 

 The first number of the Florists' Bul- 

 letin just issued by the British Floral 

 Federation is an indication of what to 

 expect. This publication is full of in- 

 teresting and timely material of the 

 most practical character. For one 

 thing, the Bulletin shows conclusively 

 the great value of co-operation, espe- 

 cially when dealing with matters 

 through government departments. 



An article on horticultural sundries 

 shows how important this branch of 

 the business is and how closely the 

 sundries trade has become allied to 

 that of the growers. It is interesting 

 to learn that a large proportion of the 

 various goods included under the term 

 of horticultural sundries came former- 

 ly from Germany and Austria, but that 

 British made articles are now avail- 

 able, rendering it unnecessary to go 

 abroad to meet the wants of the trade 

 in this respect. 



According to the Bulletin the war 

 has shown the great importance of 

 bulbs to all who are concerned in the 

 production of flowers, especially early 

 flowers for market. The successful 

 efforts made by the federation in per- 

 suading the government to remove the 

 embargo on certain bulbs from abroad 

 is among the most useful work it has 

 undertaken. The British Florists' 

 Federation is an association of whole- 

 salers and retailers in Great Britain 

 which was founded in 1917 for the pur- 

 pose of protecting and encouraging 

 every section of the flower trade. This 

 association promises to weild a tre- 

 mendous influence in the future. Al- 

 ready it has increased from 172 mem- 

 bers at the end of 1917 to nearly 300 

 at the beginning of 1919.

OHIO'S CELEBRATED CYCLAMEN 

 SPECIALIST 



After using your No. 12 KroeBchell 

 Holler 1 came to the conclusion that 

 bad I to Install more boilers it would 

 be the Kroeschell and no other. It 

 really is a pleasure to heat, no trouble 

 to get the desired heat In a very short 

 time.

MANURE 



PROTECTS YOUR CROP 



It is direct heat dried and sterilized, weed seeds, grass seeds, fungus and 

 disease germs destroyed in a direct heat rotary drying process that does 

 not change or destroy any of the valuable elements in crude manure. 



Air dried manures cannot be sterilized and usually carry excess moisture 

 that actually makes them cost more per ton than Wizard Brand even at 

 the same or a lower price. 



Look for the Wizard Brand Trade-Mark tagged or printed on every bag. 

 If it is not there you are not getting Wizard Brand protection for your 

 crop and pocket book. 



Your dealer can get Wizard Brand for you if you insist or we will quote 

 with freight rate on any quantity from a bag to a carload promptly.

HELPING OUT THE CADDIE. 



That versatile Philadelphian, Dr. 

 Thos. A. Daly, has this to say: 



"Commenting upon the story of a 

 golfer in Rockland, Maine, who has a 

 cat which chases the ball and sits by 

 it until the player arrives, The Chicago 

 Tribune considers this 'interesting 

 chiefly as being the solitary reason for 

 a cat's existence." It should have a 

 deeper interest for many another golf- 

 er. The cat as a golf-ball retriever — or 

 pointer, perhaps, would be better — will 

 never wholly prove its right to exist- 

 ence, notwithstanding this testimony 

 from Rockland. The creature would go 

 on strike in rainy weather, which some 

 contend is the ideal golfing condition. 



Even a light dew on the grass will 

 keep the pussyfooter off it. But a dog! 

 All! there's the pregnant idea! Why 

 hasn't some one thought of training 

 Fido to follow the elusive pill into the 

 rough? An application of bone-dust 

 or some such fragrant preparation 

 would give the necessary scent to 

 guide a smart dog. This would save to 

 the country thousands of dollars hith- 

 erto represented by lost golf-balls, and 

 the improvement in the public temper 

 would be incalculable. 



Our seed trade friends should hand 

 this idea along to their greens commit- 

 tee when they come in for some more 

 seeds of those famous golf club formu- 

 las. In the present scarcity of cad- 

 dies it ought to help out some.
