Florists* 

 Refrigerators 



We manufacture, in our own plant, a complete 

 line of florists' refrigerators. While we have 

 many popular standard designs, most refrig- 

 erators are built for individual requirements. 



Brecht Refrigerators are the result of 67 years' 

 experience. They are designed on a scien- 

 tific basis, from the best material obtainable, 

 and are built to give greatest service with 

 minimum ice consumption. 



We will be glad to quote you on our standard 

 designs, or to otfer suggestions and submit 

 8i>ecial designs upon receipt of your require- 

 ments.

voted to hold the annual pii-iiic at Cun- 

 ningham park, East Milton, about .July 

 20, and arrangements were left to the 

 executive committee. Announcement 

 was made of the conference of tlie Na- 

 tional Association of Gardeners in Hor- 

 ticultural hall May 6. 



W. N. Craig was the speaker of the 

 evening, his remarks being entitled 

 "Some Seasonable Thoughts and Sug- 

 gestions.'' Quarantine ."^7 was dis- 

 cussed and the speaker said that the 

 real fight against it would soon begin, 

 although the Federal Horticultur.al 

 Board had come to the conclusion that 

 opposition was sporadic and would soon 

 j)eter out. In connection with the labor 

 situation, suggestions were made for 

 inducing boys and youths to take up 

 floriculture and gardening as a pro- 

 fession. We must train boys here; the 

 supply from abroad has practically 

 dried up. The great decrease in labor 

 on farms the last two years was serious 

 and threatened a decided slump in food 

 production in 1920. Boys and girls 

 were available and should be utilized 

 through the vacation periods. A man 

 should be sent with each batch of boys, 

 and far more would be accomplished. 



The enormous damage to trees and 

 shrubs by field mice was referred to 

 and the senseless killing of snakes, 

 hawks, owls and other natural foes of 

 the mice was condemned. Smearing 

 trunks with a mixture of lime, sulphur, 

 salt, soluble oil and arsenate of lead 

 had proved an effective protection. 



The New York and Boston spring 

 «hows were commented upon. The for- 

 mer city needed a breaking away from 

 the rather stereotyped arrangements 

 and there was a danger in the over-

emphasizing of commercialism. The 

 trade exhibits would be better staged 

 on a floor by themselves, as at S. A. F. 

 national shows. The new National 

 Flower Growers' Association was com- 

 mended and the speaker said that Bos- 

 ton, of all cities, needed such an organ- 

 ization badly, for the present system of 

 handling cut flowers in wholesale mar- 

 kets was bad for the growers, who had 

 the greatest interests at stake. A good
