 The range has two separate boiler-sheds, 

 both boilers being coupled to the same

December Weather. 



According to Weather Bureau records, 

 issued January 2, December was a fa- 

 vorable month for the growers, the sun 

 being fifty-five per cent of the possible, 

 or three-eighths more than usual, as we 

 ordinarily get only forty per cent of the 

 possible sunshine in December. The 

 mean temperature was 3.3 degrees be- 

 low normal. Of importance as affecting 

 the fuel bill, the wind movement for 

 the month was only 9,778 miles. 



Various Notes. 



F. M. Johnson and Edward Galavan, 

 of the A. L. Eandall Co., have interested 

 themselves in the case of John Loehrer, 

 formerly well known in this market. Mr. 

 Loehrer was in the greenhouse business 

 for many years at Boone, la. He now 

 lives at Sioux City, and is said to be 

 totally blind and dependent on Mrs. 

 Loehrer. Both are elderly people. The 

 J. C. Rennison Co., at Sioux City, is ac- 

 quainted with the circumstances and 

 writes that these people are deserving 

 and that anything done for them will 

 be much appreciated. 



A. Hall and W. H. Waddington, who 

 for the last five years have been with 

 August Lange, are proprietors of the 

 Lakeside Flower Shop, 4700 Sheridan 

 road. They opened their store December 

 16. The fixtures of the new store are of 

 mahogany finish. The walls are a warm 

 Sfray. Tables have white marble tops. 

 Buchbinder Bros, installed the built-in 

 refrigerator. Mr. Hall says they had a
