THE 

 BOILER OF 



Unequalled Fuel Economy 



KroeHchell Boilers, the beBt by teit since 

 1879. Forty years' experience. 



THE QUALITY PLACE OF HOSTON 



Regarding the Kroeschell, It Is 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 wlil give the Kroeschell the 

 first consideration.

OHIO'S CELEBRATED CYCLAMEN 

 SPECIALIST 



After using your No. 12 Kroeschell 

 Boiler I came to the conclusion that 

 had I to install more boilers it would 

 be the KroeBchell and no other. It 

 really Is a pleasure to heat, no trouble 

 to get the desired heat In a very short 

 time.

mains very good and prices steady. 

 Columbia coming strong and leading 

 the procession in the Russell, Premier 

 class. Killarneys seem to have taken 

 a back seat this year. Many growers 

 have stopped producing these and are 

 devoting their space to other varieties 

 which indicates the passing of another 

 old favorite in a few years. Ophelia 

 holds its own well and is coming 

 along in good shape. Chrysanthemums 

 are about as big a factor now as the 

 roses and the list has been increased 

 by some new comers, among these be- 

 ing the Chas. Turner, Tiger and Rich- 

 mond. Rather too many of the out- 

 door pom pons coming along for the 

 demand. Carnations are fairly plenti- 

 ful and the quality is still on the up- 

 ward trend. Orchids rather shy, and 

 the market here has had to go consid- 

 erably afield to fill some orders. 

 Weather being still mild plenty 

 dahlias, cosmos and other outdoor 

 subjects. The outdoor men must be 

 using the right kind of language In 

 their prayers. What? 



OBITUARY 



Albert A. Spear. 



Albert A. Spear of East Weymouth, 

 for 40 years a well known and success- 

 ful florist of the South Shore, died 

 last week, aged 76 years. 



He was a native and life-long resi- 

 dent of Weymouth. When a young 

 boy he learned the trade of a wheel- 

 wright and carriage builder. He con- 

 tinued in this business until he was 

 20 years old and then established a 

 shop of his own. About 40 years ago 

 he discontinued this business and be- 

 came a florist, and the plant today is 

 an extensive one. He was a veteran 

 of the Civil War. 



He is survived by his wife, daugh- 

 ter and two sons. 



Robert Johnston. 



■ It is with deep regret that we have 



to record the death of our beloved 



friend, Robert Johnston, a gardener of 



great ability and a thorough gentle- 

 man in every sense of the word. 



After receiving his early training in 

 Scotland and England, Mr. Johnston 

 came to America in 1889, going to 

 Lenox where he was for a number of 

 years with the late John E. Parson, 

 later with Mrs. J. B. Crane; going 

 from there to Newport, R. I., he was 

 there for a number of years on the 

 French estate, coming back to Massa- 

 chusetts again over twenty years ago, 

 where he has remained ever since. For 

 the last number of years he has been 

 identified with R. & J. Farquhar & 

 Co., in their landscape department 

 where he made a host of friends, by 

 his genial manner, sympathetic nature 

 and his willingness to do his utmost 

 to he of service, not only to his em- 

 ployers, but to all whom he came in 

 contact with. 



Mr. Johnston leaves a wife and two 

 daughters, who have the sympathy of 

 his wide circle of friends in their hour 

 of sorrow.
