The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 29. 1917.

NEWS NOTES 



••• 



Lincoln, Neb. — ^Frederick Eiche is 

 erecting a greenhouse on South Twen- 

 tieth street. Mr. Eiche, by the way, is 

 a physician. 



Medicine Hat, Alta., Can. — Alois 

 Wiedeman, formerly associated with 

 the Rosery Flower Co. here, but now 

 residing at Irvine, has decided to start 

 a florists' business in Prussia — that is, 

 Prussia, Sask. Although the town of 

 Prussia is nearer the north pole than is 

 Medicine Hat, Mr. Wiedeman will not 

 have to depend on Eskimos for his busi- 

 ness. 



Dayton, O. — Perhaps some of the old- 

 timers have recollections of one James 

 Dallas Treadway, who many years ago 

 was one of the town's well known flo- 

 rists and nurserymen. Mr. Treadway 

 died the other day in a soldiers' home 

 in Tennessee, in his seventy-third year. 

 He was a veteran of the Civil war. Fu- 

 neral services were held at the home of 

 his daughter in this city. 



Jeannette, Pa. — E. Bushyager, whose 

 specialties are "fresh eggs, fruits and 

 flowers," has had frequent trouble with 

 a rash on his face and a recent attack 

 has affected his eyelids, nose and 

 cheeks. His doctor tells him it is some 

 kind of local poisoning and he thinks 

 it comes from rubbing his face with his 

 hands after handling nicotine insecti- 

 cides. 



Olivette, Mo. — Charles Steidle is 

 doing away with all his Killarneys, with 

 the exception of one-half a house of 

 white, as he thinks they are a dead let- 

 ter. Mr. Steidle will plant one house 

 each of Russell and Ophelia, planting 

 Shawycr for the rest, which he intends 

 to give a thorough try-out this year, 

 having grown a few to his entire satis- 

 faction this season. He says that he 

 was not at all troubled with mildew and 

 thinks that growing good, clean Shawycr 

 is merely a matter of proper ventilation. 



Columbus, O. — "When Frank S. Miller, 

 aged ;")!, struck his brother-in-law, 

 George Thompson, aged 67, on the head 

 with a flower pot the other day, the 

 latter wielded a knife, inflicting wounds 

 on Miller's left arm and abdomen. He 

 was taken to Lawrence hospital. The 

 trouble occurred at the range of the 

 Columbus Floral Co. Miller is manager 

 of the concern, and Thompson secretary 

 and treasurer. Vive years ' business 

 transactions had led to various quarrels 

 that terminated in the wounding of Mil- 

 ler. His injuries were not serious.

RIDGE 



A New One 

 It's Leak Tight 



IT'S easy enough to say a ridge 

 •'• is tight. 



It's easy enough to say that 

 the leak drips are condensation. 



It's easy enough to finally de- 

 clare that no one can make an 

 absolutely leakless ridge when 

 ventilating sash are used on both 

 sides. 



With a hard, beating, wind- 

 driven rain, we doubt if it's pos- 

 sible to shut out every drop. But 

 if any ridge is practically leak 

 tight, this one of ours is. 



That angle-shaped groove 

 prevents the water from creeping 

 in. When it strikes that groove

it drops on to the vent sash. If 

 every part of the sash could 

 be held as snug and tight as at 

 the binges, there would be no 

 leaks. 



To overcome this, we mill the 

 main part of the ridge with a 

 special curve. The sash is also 

 curve milled. 



When the curve of the sash 

 strikes the curve of the ridge, a 

 leverage is produced that sort of 

 pries tight shut every inch of the 

 sash's length. Everyone who has 

 it, says it is absolutely tight. 



You know we go anywhere for 

 business. Or to talk business.
