DETRICK REfiR 



Combustion Arch^$ 



APPLIED TO YOUR BOILERS 



INSURE ECONOMY 



This arch is applied to rear combustion chambers in connec- 

 tion with Horizontal Return Tubular Boilers. Each tile is a 

 separate unit, suspended like a pendulum upon the flanges of 

 the I-beam supports. The entire weight of the arch is car- 

 ried directly into the walls. There is no side thrust and the 

 arch is free to move under expansion.

The Market. 



' Market conditions are better, the sup- 

 ply of cut flowers having become much 

 heavier, and where there was a scarcity, 

 now there is a plenty. The demand for 

 chrysanthemums has increased, while 

 the flowers are of much better quality. 

 Blooming mum plants now are plentiful. 

 Koses of fine quality are arriving, the 

 quantity exceeding the demand. Prices 

 of roses have dropped slightly. Carna- 

 tions have improved in quality, but the 

 supply is still short. Lilies meet only 

 a small demand. 



Various Notes. 



W. J. Barnes had a big week in fu- 

 neral work, the sales being about three 

 times the normal. Mr. Barnes used 

 every palm, fern and decorative plant 

 he had in a big wedding decoration last 

 week. 



Many of the local florists participated 

 in the Liberty bond parade last week. 



Mrs. Fred Fromholdt underwent a 

 serious operation last week, but despite 

 lier weakened condition was taken 

 liome, as her mother was not expected 

 to live. 



Peter Martin has started propagating 

 liis geranium stock for spring sales. His 

 mums and ferns are looking good. 



William Foith has more than half his 

 pstalalishment planted to carnations. 

 Sweet peas and mums are in excellent 

 condition at this place. 



E. 8. Brown & Son report that they 

 have many orders for bulbs, which they 

 have been unable to fill, no bulbs having 

 yet been received. 



T. J. Noll & Co. received another 

 large shipment of baskets last week. 



Henry Kusik & Co. are receiving a 

 large quantity of rubrum lilies. 



Visitors to the trade last week were 

 Clifford Pruner, of the Poehlmann 

 Bros. Co., Chicago, and Sam Scligman, 

 of Wertheimer Bros., New York.

/^UESSWORK, random judgment and mistakes in 

 ^^ the matter of greenhouse temperatures are like 

 a malignant appendix below the ribs— they should be 

 taken to the doctor. And in greenhouse tem- 

 peratures the specialist is the 



Standard Recording Thermometer 



This wonderful instrument is essential to 

 good growing. By reference to it you can often 

 find what is wrong with a batch of plants. Ev- 

 ery rise and fall in temperature is recorded on 

 the chart, by night, by day, and under lock and 

 key. The mechanism is perfect, infallible, in- 

 destructible. 

 The Standard Recording Thermometer costs $30.00 and 



then works without a kick for a lifetime. Many are doing 



duty today— let one ser\e you.
