 needed those flowers, few as there were, 

 to fulfill a promise for an early morning 

 order. Though late at night, it was' not 

 too late, or too far, for him to go at 

 once to get those flowers, bring them 

 back and keep his word. 



At Wyncote. 



The greenhouses of the Joseph Hea- 

 cock Co., at Wyncote, are devoted to 

 palms, ferns, orchids and carnations, 

 the palms leading. There growing has 

 been reduced to a science. The quality 

 and the quantity annually turned out 

 are remarkable. The feature of the 

 palm houses today is the extremely 

 healthy condition of the stock, both in- 

 dividually and collectively. Each palm 

 is a picture of health, and the whole 

 lot shows that in no size is there over- 

 production. This is most quickly seen 

 in the houses devoted to the larger 

 sizes; for when the demand lags, it 

 shows there. A glance over the kentias 

 is sufficient to see that the specimens 

 have been taken as quickly as they 

 were ready. Kentia seeds that for- 

 merly came from Australia via Ham- 

 burg now come by way of San Fran- 

 cisco, thence overland by freight. The 

 last sowing is coming up well. 



Cibotium Schiedei, pedestal-grown, is 

 coming into greater favor here. A whole 

 house is surmounted by shapely speci-

TUNL\N PAINT=We are BEST 



Our paiQt is especially adapted to greenhouses. 



The florists say we put the stuff in it. Anyway we pride ourselves on making 

 a paint that will wear and withstand the exacting greevhouse conditions. 



The Moisture Will Not Get Under the Paint 



The cost of the paint is small compared with the cost of the labor for putting it 

 on; therefore why not use the best paint for the purpose, which several years' 

 experience with {greenhouses has proven to be Tunlin ?

 BECAUSE it DOES the work.

mens of this durable fern. They looked 

 extremely well. 



The orchid range is of especial inter- 

 est today, for two reasons. One is the 

 new importation of 5,000 cattleyas, 

 which now lie moistened under the 

 benches, awaiting potting. The other 

 is the batch of orchid seedlings in the 

 nursery, coaxed into orchid life by 

 means of an ingenious contrivance 

 formed by a gas jet, a teakettle and a 

 small pipe through which water circu- 

 lates under the plants. 



Various Notes.

 the coming year are to be made at the
