MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



The weather now is nearly ideal for 

 Avinter and the crops are becoming bet- 

 ter every day. The conditions in gen- 

 eral have improved to a great extent 

 and things are assuming a more normal 

 trend. 



Roses are in fine shape and the sup- 

 ply seems just a little heavier than it 

 lias been. Shorter grades still are 

 scarce owing to the heavy demand and 

 the long fancy stock is cleaning up 

 each day. Wards, in particular, are 

 scarce and it is hard to distribute the 

 cut equally or nearly so. Carnations 

 are more plentiful and the stock is 

 showing better quality. Prices have 

 dropped somewhat and the downward 

 tendency is still with ua. There is no 

 surplus, however, but the shortage is 

 not acute by any means. 



Stevia is entirely out of the market 

 and this helps the sale of greens to a 

 great extent. Valley still is quite 

 scarce and the probabilities are that it 

 will remain so for some time. The 

 quality, while passably good, is noth- 

 ing extra. Tulips, daffodils, freesias, 

 etc., are arriving in quantity and are 

 in fine shape. The market is cleaning 

 up every day and the prices are fair 

 for this year and good compared with 

 those of last year. Orchids are about 

 equal to the demand and are moving 

 readily. The advance orders for St. 

 Valentine's day are coming in and it 

 would seem that this year 's Valentine 's 

 day will more than hold its own with 

 that day of last year or the year pre- 

 vious. H. J. S. 



WORCESTER, MASS. 



The Market. 

 Retail trade has been good since the 

 first of the year, but stock until re- 

 cently has been short. Bulbous stock 

 has had a fine market and hyacinths 

 are beginning to arrive. There has 

 been a great demand for funeral work. 

 Indications point to a large Valen- 

 tine's business and the florists are mak- 

 ing ample preparations. 



Various Notes. 



H. F. A. Lange's Valentine windows 

 are a work of art and his line of nov- 

 elties for the day is good. Mr. Lange 

 has some unusually good tulips and his 

 stock in general is excellent. 



Harry Randall is proud of his 

 healthy stock and expects a large 

 Valentine business. He featured yel- 

 low narcissi at a popular price last 

 week and disposed of many of them. 



Hermann Lange has been appointed 

 assistant superintendent of the H. F. A. 

 Lange greenhouses. H. L. 



Marseilles, 111.— The Restland Floral 

 Co. is erecting a greenhouse 16x100 

 feet. 



Massillon, O. — A partnership has 

 been formed by Charles Hanson and 

 Leo F. Heitger, who will do business 

 at 10 Park Row.

Column Anchor Bases 



I for our 



i Reconstructed Construction 



ALL COLUMNS in our 

 Reconstructed C o n - 

 struction are clamped at 

 the ground line to heavy 

 four-way braced anchor 

 bases, similar to the ones 

 used on the side posts. The 

 bottom of these bases is 

 big and broad, giving an 

 unusually large bearing sur- 

 face for the base to rest 

 on, and around which the 

 concrete can grip. The top 

 of the base is equipped 

 with a split half, which 

 friction-grips the column 

 when the four galvanized 

 bolts are tightened. This 

 clamp permits an adjust- 

 ment up or down of the 

 column, which is a valuable 

 feature in lining up the 

 rafters. 



In addition to the power- 

 ful friction grip of the 

 clamp, it is equipped with 



HiicKitisfs

a cold chilled pointed set 

 screw, which bores right 

 into the pipe, doubly insur- 

 ing it against slipping. 



The rafter and post are 

 in one piece from the 

 ground line to the column 

 cap, where it is joined to 

 the balance of the rafter 

 extending to the ridge by a 

 steel splice plate. This 

 plate also carries the main 

 member of the double angle 

 iron truss. 



The truss and rafter from 

 the column to the ridge are 

 all put together and hot- 

 riveted in place at the fac- 

 tory. This saves a lot of 

 work on the job and greatly 

 increases speed of erection. 



In our next ad we will 

 tell you about the special 

 treatment of the purlins 

 and vent header in the Re- 

 constructed Construction.
