THE 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 Kroeschell the 

 first consideration.

 SPECIALIST 



After using your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I came to the conclusion that 

 had 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 beat in a very abort 

 time.

BOLGIANO TRUCKS WON FIRST 

 PRIZE. 



J. Bolgiano & Son's fleet of automo- 

 biles were the prize winners for the 

 best decorated fleet in Baltimore's big 

 auto parade which was held Saturday, 

 Sept. 20th. There were about 1600 

 trucks in line. Bolgiano's garden 

 float which led their fleet was very 

 unique. It was composed of an ex- 

 act miniature growing garden and 

 contained Asparagus, Beans, Carrots, 

 Lettuce, Beets, Cabbage, Endive and 

 Tomatoes laid off in rows and actu- 

 ally growing. The tomato vines 

 showed quantities of luscious rosy red 

 fruit. Flowers were not overlooked 

 as one corner of the garden was de- 

 voted to flowering plants all out In 

 full bloom. Working the garden was 

 an attractive young lady attired in 

 the garb of a farmerette assisted by a 



farmer boy who was wheeling a 

 wheelbarrow filled with vegetables 

 'which he had presumably just picked 

 from the garden. The front of the 

 truck was beautifully decorated with 

 flowers and vines. 



The garden float was followed by 

 one showing an immense poultry 

 house and a Rooster so large that he 

 looked suspiciously human. He even 

 shimmeyed to the amusement of the 

 spectators, but it seemed he could not 

 crow. 



Each department of Bolgiano's 

 Seed Store was advertisingly repre- 

 sented by one of their trucks in the 

 fleet. A large two ton truck carried 

 a full load of Poultry Food and fol- 

 lowing this came a truck with coops 

 of live poultry with the inscription 

 "Results of feeding Bolgiano's 'Square 

 Deal' Poultry Foods." Other trucks 

 followed displaying articles of inter- 

 est to the Poultryman, and also Lawn 

 Grasses, Implements and Fertilizers 

 for Lawn and Window Boxes, Palms, 

 Ferns, and Bulbs for home decora- 

 tion.

A cider mill filled with apples turn- 

 ing out sweet apple cider attracted 

 attention. 



Bolgiano also competed in the con- 

 test for the best slogans for the use 

 of motor trucks for local and long 

 distance hauling with the following 

 slogans: 



"We auto deliver and we do." and 

 "Autos put the 'Dust' in Industry."

Charles Curtice of Summerville

 orchids and hardy gypsophilla. He 

 has cut his first chrysanthemums and 

 has a promising crop of dahlias.

CHICAGO. 



The appearance of the early white 

 chrysanthemums in the Chicago mar- 

 ket and the fast disappearance of the 

 asters mark the pressure of the Fall 

 season. Chilly winds are driving the 

 owners of summer houses back to the 

 city and florists are noting a picking 

 up of flower sales. Cheap summer 

 flowers are almost gone and with car- 

 nations still scarce the demand for 

 roses is sufficient to use up what would 

 ordinarily be a good supply. Just now 

 fancy Russells reach to 40c, Columbia 

 to 25c, Premier to 25c, Ophelia to 

 12c. and Killarney to 10c. 



With the opening of the Fall season 

 the Chicago Florists' Club will re- 

 sume the regular monthly meetings 

 which are the first Thursdays after 

 the first Monday and this time falls 

 on Oct. 9th, known as Chicago Day 

 or the anniversary of the great fire of 

 1871. 



One of the well known retail florists 

 of the down town district, Oscar J. 

 Friedman, has sold his store at 520 

 S. Michigan avenue and another 

 known as the Ohio Floral Co. at 500 

 S. Wabash avenue to T. C. Fogarty & 

 Co.
