laenches. The others may be distributed 

 through the houses. 



The boilers should, if possible, be 

 placed so that they will be entirely be- 

 low the level of the returns, but it will 

 sufSce, with overhead flows, if the upper 

 half of the firepot is as low as the re- 

 turns. 



The makes of boilers advertised in 

 The Eeview will be found satisfactory. 

 We suggest writing for catalogues and 

 for prices on boilers of the size required. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The market has improved substan- 

 tially during last week, due to the cool 

 weather we have been enjoying, coupled 

 with several drenching rains, which 

 have done much for the outdoor stock. 

 Gladioli are far more plentiful than 

 they have been at any time this sea- 

 son, but there is no glut on the market, 

 because the demand keeps pace with the 

 supply. Gladioli are of much better 

 quality since the rains. Asters are also 

 much improved by the rains and cooler 

 temperatures, and the prices obtained 

 for them are higher. In regard to roses, 

 Columbia is holding a prominent place 

 on this market. The flowers from the 

 young stock are of excellent quality 

 and Premier is making such rapid 

 strides that it bids fair to outrival Rus- 

 sell in popularity. Ophelia and other 

 varieties are becoming more plentiful 

 and there is a noticeable improvement 

 in all the varieties. Carnations from 

 the old stock have disappeared and it 

 will probably be a week or two before 

 the flowers from the young stock come 

 into the market. Lilium auratum, hy- 

 drangeas and Japanese lilies help out 

 considerably in the line of summer flow- 

 ers. Shasta daisies are in good supply. 

 Cattleyas are scarce and sell for $1.25 

 and $1.50. Auratum lilies are bringing 

 from $10 to $15 per hundred. 



The demand last week was about nor- 

 mal for this season. Funeral work in- 

 creased the latter part of the week and 

 several moderate weddings and the cool 

 weather stimulated counter trade to a 

 noticeable extent. Except for funeral 

 work, the demand for greens is light. 



Various Notes. 



A local event which stimulated the 

 sale of flowers was the opening of the 

 new Irene Byron tuberculosis hospital, 

 Sunday, August 10. A large number of 

 flowers were sent to the hospital for its 

 oi)ening by friends. Besides these, hun- 

 dreds of gladioli, roses and Japanese 

 lilies were donated for decorating the 

 rooms of the hospital for the occasion 

 by the Flick Floral Co. 



A store will be opened about Septem- 

 ber 15, to be known as the Blossom Flo- 

 ral Co. Richard I. Blossom and Ruth 

 Flick Blossom are members of the new 

 firm. The shop will be located at 110 

 West Wayne street. Both members of 

 the firm will attend the S. A. F. conven- 

 tion at Detroit. 



Herman Leitz, of the New Haven 

 Floral Co., has returned from a motor 

 trip to Richmond, Ind., accompanied by 

 the head grower of his range. Mr. Leitz 

 visited the different ranges in Richmond 

 and vicinity and says the growers are 

 I making great preparations for a record 

 fall and winter business. The green- 

 houses of the New Haven Floral Co. 

 are in readiness for the season 's work. 

 The carnation plants are all housed and 

 in splendid shape.

West Plains, Mo.— C. W. Harold, of 

 the Cottage Greenhouse and Ozark 

 Pansy Garden, has returned from a two 

 weeks' motor tour, on which he called 

 on many florists at St. Louis, East St. 

 Louis, Granite City, Edwardsville, 

 Litchfield, Springfield, Decatur, Ointon, 

 Farmer City, Sullivan and Mattoon, all 

 Illinois cities except the first. He says 

 he found all the florists well satisfied 

 with last season 's business and looking 

 forward to another good year.
