THE 

 BOILER OF 



Unequalled Fuel Economy 



Kroeschell Boilers, the best by test since 

 1879. Forty years' experience. 



TIIK QUALITY PLACE OF BOSTON 



Regarding the Kroeschell, It la the 

 best we have ever had and satisfac- 

 tory beyond our expectations. It heats 

 up especially quick and has saved us 

 considerably already in the price of 

 fuel. When we are In need of another 

 boiler we will give the KroeBchell the 

 first consideration.

 SPECIALIST 



After using your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I 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.

WINTER COURSES IN FLORICUL- 

 TURE AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY 

 Registrations are now being made 

 for the short course in floriculture 

 which begins Wednesday, November 

 5, 1919, and closes with Farmers' 

 Week, February 9 to 13, 1920. There 

 are classes tor commercial florists as 

 well as amateurs. The winter courses 

 are business and occupational courses, 

 not academic; hence there are no ex- 

 aminations for admission. In the dis- 

 tinctly professional courses in flori- 

 culture, in addition to the instruction 

 in commercial flower growing, green- 

 house practice, greenhouse construc- 

 tion and heating, courses in agricul- 

 tural chemistry, soils, plant diseases 

 and injurious insects are required. 

 Students also have a wide range of 

 other subjects from which to elect 

 courses. Each week during the com- 

 ing term a practical specialist in 

 some branch of floriculture will come 

 to the college to give the students 

 talks from every-day experiences. A 

 splendid list of speakers has been ar- 

 ranged. For any information^regard- 

 ing the course, write the Secretary of 

 the College of Agriculture, Cornell 

 University, Ithaca, N. Y.. or Professor 

 E. A. White, Department of Floricult- 

 ure. 



THE MARKET SITUATION. 

 The flower market the country over 

 has been marking time the past week. 

 In several sections, as in Rochester, 

 the arrival of cooler weather has 

 brought about an increased sale of 

 potted plants. Fall openings in a num- 

 ber of cities have brought out a good 

 demand for ferns, palms, glads and 

 hydrangeas. Glads are plentiful in all 

 markets and asters are in great abun- 

 dance. Unfortunately, the quality as 

 a whole is not of the best. In Boston 

 carnations are steady and at prices 

 which are better than have prevailed 

 for past years. The same is true of 

 roses. In fact, the latter have held

well through the season. The few 

 good asters are selling well. The oth- 

 ers are selling for about what they are 

 worth, which is not much. 



GODFREY CALLAS. 

 The Godfrey calla is growing rapidly 

 in favor and growers report good de- 

 mands. This is an exceptionally good 

 plant and only needs a little more 

 pushing to become very well known. 

 Its continuous flowering makes it an 

 ideal house plant and the flowers are 

 excellent for cutting. More Godfreys 

 are being put out in New England 

 than ever before. It is not necessary 

 to have large bulbs, either. To be 

 sure they will flower earlier and make 

 larger blooms, but small bulbs carried 

 along with bottom heat and plenty 

 of water will flower by the turn of the 

 year and then throughout the season. 

 It is not necessary to rest this calla, 

 according to the experience of several 

 growers.
