middle house and ten returns in the 

 south house. With a good generator, 

 properly installed, the present radiation 

 is sufficient in these two houses. We 

 would give the flow pipes a slight fall 

 and would keep both flows and returns 

 as high as possible. This will in a meas- 

 ure counteract the small size of the re- 

 turns. 



NEWPORT, B. I. 



Owners of greenhouses in this city 

 and vicinity have been considerably an- 

 noyed, as well as put to much expense, 

 through the breaking of glass in their 

 houses by boys throwing stones. A 

 number of complaints have been made 

 to the police and a few days ago two 

 boys were in court, before Judge Baker, 

 charged with breaking glass in the 

 greenhouses of William Jurgens. The 

 parents agreed to pay damages and the 

 boys were placed on probation. 



Arthur T. Bunyard has leased the 

 store at 3 Abrams block, Bellevue ave- 

 nue, for the season of 1919. 



Business has been exceptionally good 

 with all the dealers during the last 

 month. W. H. M. 



NORTHAMPTON, liIASS. 



The regular meeting of the Holyoke 

 and Northampton Florists' and Garden- 

 ers' Club was held March 4, with H. E. 

 Downer, at Smith's College plant house. 

 There was a good attendance, with 

 President Harold Keyes in the chair. 

 The evening was taken up with a dis- 

 cussion of the horticultural import pro- 

 hibition, which came in for a great deal 

 of criticism. Members who had not 

 written a protest to their local congress- 

 man, as the club had voted at the pre- 

 vious meeting, were urged to do so im- 

 mediately. 



The exhibitors were H. E. Downer, 

 with a large white azalea which scored 

 eighty-five points and won the monthly 

 prize; Gallivan Bros., with a vase of 

 sweet peas, scoring seventy-five points, 

 and F. D. Keyes & Son, with a Primula 

 obconica, scoring seventy-three points. 

 The judges were E. J. Canning, G. W. 

 Thromley and E. Hennessey. R. H. 



Albany, Oa.— The J. C. Smith Seed 

 Co., of Columbus, Ga., is planning to 

 erect and operate greenhouses and a 

 florists' business in Albany, to be known 

 as the Jack Smith Greenhouses. The 

 concern has leased a tract of land from 

 the city, upon which the greenhouses 

 will be built. 



Water your frames 

 this way 



Hose, holding costs two kinds of money. 



First, there's the cost of the hose itself. 



Then, there's the cost that keeps right on costing 

 year after year, of youi* men's time in hose holding. 



It's the truth that a Skinner System costs but little, 

 if any, more than hose. 



It outlasts it 3 to 1. 



For seedlings and cold frame things in general, the 

 spray is ideal. 



Write for booklet telling about this and other uses 

 for the Skinner System.
