Also Cattleya Lawrenceana and Cat- 

 tleya Miss Williams. Odontoglossum 

 pulchellum majus, commonly known as 

 the lily of the valley orchid, is also in 

 fine shape. He has approximately 150 

 plants, possibly the largest number in 

 a single collection in America. * ' The 

 blooms bring a figure hitherto unthought- 

 of," observed our veteran enthusiast, 

 "and must act as a stimulus to orchid 

 culture. All the plants are grown in pots, 

 since this has been found the most prac- 

 tical method." Certain it is the growths 

 could hardly be stronger. Harry 

 Mathews has charge of the chrysanthe- 

 mums and is pleased with the way the 

 plants are coming along, although the 

 attacks of the bugs and grasshoppers 

 are severe this season. Such pompons 

 as Buckingham and Mensa, together 

 with Bonnaffon, Seidewitz, Chieftain 

 and Oconto, compose the list. W. M. 



Toledo, O. — Fred Einker has obtained 

 a permit for a greenhouse at 220 Ore- 

 gon road, to cost $9,500. 



South Bend, Ind. — W. Thurston Gibbs 

 has just recovered from injuries re- 

 ceived when an agent tried to demon- 

 strate a tractor that proved to be defec- 

 tive. The recent hot weather was al- 

 most disastrous for his gladioli, of which 

 he has ten acres. 



Randolph, Vt.— The H. M. Totman 

 Co. has filed articles of incorporation in 

 the office of the secretary of state. The 

 company is organized to take over and 

 conduct the greenhouses and store for- 

 merly operated by Mr. Totman person- 

 ally. The incorporators are Mr. Totman 

 and two of his employees, Hortense L. 

 Flint and Edson E. Gifford. The capital 

 stock is $35,000.

PADHCAH POTTERY CO., Ine, 



A Glazing Putty 

 of Real Value 



In all our experience and investigation 

 we had never found a preparation for 

 bulbing over the outside of a greenhouse 

 that was quite satisfactory, until we ran 

 across PERMANITE. This was about 

 four years ago . At that time we set about 

 investigating the merits of PERMANITE 

 and proceeded to watch the results of its 

 application to greenhouse roofs. 



Last year we were entirely convinced 

 of its high quality and durability, and ac- 

 cepted the western agency for the sale of 

 these goods. 



We applied PERMANITE to hundreds 

 of greenhouse roofs, over almost every 

 part of the United States. 



The results obtained were highly satis- 

 factory indeed. Glass roofs of all kinds, 

 both old and new, were made water-tight 

 I and air-tight, saving thousands of plants 

 from being spoiled by water dripping on 

 them and saving many hundreds of tons of 

 coal by making the roofs proof against 

 the wind and storms of winter. 



We give PERMANITE our unqualified 

 endorsement and recommend it highly for 

 all Iqnds of glazing. 



We have a very large stock on hand 

 in our warehouse and can ship imme- 

 diately.
