 Boiler I came to the couclualoo that 

 bad I to install more bollera it would

 really la a pleasure to heat, no trouble 

 to get the desired heat In a very abort 

 time.

THE MARKET. 



New York buyers have been In Bos- 

 ton the past few days and have pushed 

 prices almost out of sight. The New 

 York men have gone to the growers in 

 some instances and have secured the 

 cut for direct shipment to the metrop- 

 olis. Carnations have been particu- 

 larly in demand and have sold up to 

 fifteen cents, an unheard of price. 

 Some Boston retailers have fallen in 

 line, however, and paid the same 

 money. Laddie has been the flower 

 commanding the highest figure. As a 

 matter of fact, the Boston market has 

 been very short of stuff the past few 

 days. Supply was good Monday and 

 carnations were down to six cents. 

 They began to climb as the supply 

 ran short. The market was about as 

 skimpy on Thursday as for many a 

 long month. Of course chrysanthe- 

 mums are about done. The weather 

 has not been very favorable to roses 

 and novelties have not been plentiful. 

 For the past week partridge berries 

 have been coming in and have sold

 Gentlemen : Please send me ii5 record 

 plates like the enclosed sample, and I want 

 to say that the mnchlne, bought n pood 

 many years back, is keeping up its good 

 work right along. I think it a very use- 

 ful nd.iunct to good plant growing, nnd It 

 should be in every greenhouse, ns refer- 

 ence to It may often tell what is wrong 

 with a batch of plants. 



Verv truly yours.

The actuating element of the Standard Re- 

 cording Thermometer is of lamina metal, 

 which, besides being extremely sensitive to 

 temperature changes, is practically Indestruc- 

 tible. Record charts are furnished either daily 

 or weekly, and the whole mechanism Is con- 

 tained in an attractive metal case tltted with 

 lock and key. which insures the record from 

 being tampered with. 



The clock movement Is of extremely high 

 grade; everything about the instrument is up 

 to the highest posible standard of manufac- 

 ture.

From most parts of the country 

 come reports that holly is short and 

 rather poor in quality, although well 

 berried. In some of the western cities 

 florists are getting only about 25 per 



cent, of their regular supply. The 

 crop seems to be short in the south 

 and it is difficult to get labor. In addi- 

 tion the prospects of a freight em- 

 bargo have had a discouraging ten- 

 dency.
