TRAVIS ROCKER GRATES 



Air spaces are forced open and the draft is even. 



They grip and remove cinders without disturbing the fire. 



The interlocking finger is the only construction that will accomplish the above results. 



We claim better combustion, which means less coal. 



Control your draft and you can burn slack and other poor grades of coal. 



Write us and we will explain definitely why our grates are superior. 



Try them and be convinced. 



SAVE YOUR COAL 



Quickly installed. No machinist required.

is shy. Pompons arc more numerous, 

 Init they take well. Roses are excep- 

 tionally short in supply. One large 

 grower declared that he had not cut a 

 Russell that week. This shortage is 

 keenly felt, as the demand is unusually 

 large. Carnations are coming on nicely 

 and sell extremely well, considering the 

 inferiority of the stems. There are still 

 a few late asters, which are used largely 

 in funeral designs. The supply of or- 

 chids is increasing, but lilies are scarce. 

 There is a good demand for first-class 

 dahlia stock. Good American Beauties 

 are to be had. Rubrum lilies are in small 

 supply. Tlie supply of greens and deco- 

 rative material is good.
