the same number of baskets filled with 

 white daisies. A large number of indi- 

 vidual bouquets were executed by other 

 florists for these events.

 of the Climax Mfg. Co., Castorland, N. 

 Y.; G. Eeising, of L. Baumann & Co., 

 Chicago; Edward K. Sithens, of the 

 Bowen-Dungan Co., Philadelphia; L.

An elaborate dinner was served at 

 Powers' hotel January 27 to the stock- 

 holders of James Vick's Sons. Prob- 

 ably the main object of this dinner was 

 to further discuss the advisability of 

 increasing the concern's productions 

 and adding to its facilities. It was 

 made known that contracts were far 

 ahead of those of any previous year. 

 One of the members said they have con- 

 tracts aggregating 1,000 pounds of phlox 

 seed; 1,000 pounds of mignonette seed; 

 1,500 pounds of candytuft seed and 

 3,000 pounds of aster seed. It was de- 

 cided to purchase an additional 100 

 acres of land to meet the growing de- 

 mand. The effect of the European war 

 has been tremendous in the seed busi- 

 ness. Mr. Vick said, "It gave us a 

 foothold — one that will be permanent."

Kokomo, Ind. — Wilson M. Tiplady, 

 who for the last nine years has had 

 charge of the greenhouses and private 

 grounds at Elmendorf, Lexington, Ky., 

 is locating in Kokomo in landscape 

 work, and contemplates the erection of 

 three greenhouses next month for the 

 retail flower trade. He also will grow 

 some truck garden and nursery stock. 



Siloam Springs, Ark.— "The cold 

 wave caught some of us unprepared 

 and tender stock in the cold corners 

 suffered. I lost a few coleus and some 

 geraniums in the coldframes were dam- 

 aged, but I hear that others were not 

 80 fortunate." So says G. C. Watkins 

 in speaking of the damage done by the 

 recent cold snap that hit Arkansas.

McCray Florists 

 Refrigerators 



The McCRAY construction keeps flowers cool and fresh longer 

 than by any other system of refrigeration. It provides an even 

 temperature of the correct degree for cut flowers and stops the 

 great waste and profit loss that is caused by imperfect refrigeration 



The various compartments in a McCRAY are of different 

 sizes to accommodate the different lengths of cut flower stems and 

 your flowers are given an inviting display. 



For interior linings you have your choice of either handsome 

 bevel plate mirror or beautiful white enamel, which are very easy 

 to clean. The exterior may be of any finish desired to match the 

 interior of your store woodwork or other fixtures. 



Invest in a McCRAY. Make it a partner in your business. 

 You will value it more highly than its mere intrinsic dollar-and- 

 cents value. Investigate anyway!
