Florists' 

 ' [Refrigerators 



We manufacture, in our own plant, a complete 

 line of florists' refrigerators. While we have 

 many popular standard designs, most refrig- 

 erators are built for individual requirements. 



Brecht Refrigerators are the result of 67 years' 

 experience. They are designed on a scien- 

 tific basis, from the best material obtainable, 

 and are built to give greatest service with 

 minimum ice consumption. 



We will be glad to quote you on our standard 

 designs, or to offer suggestions and submit 

 special designs upon receipt of your require- 

 ments.

TRI-CITY FLORISTS MEET. 



Moiiibcrs of the Tri-City Florists' 

 Club Thursday afternoon, June 17, 

 journeyed to the Henry Lau farm, in 

 Scott county, where they viewed a col- 

 lection of trees that is probably the 

 most ci)mi)letc in the middle west. 



Mr. Lau, back in 1870, debM-tw+ned to 

 have a sj^ecimen of every tree that 

 would j:row in tliis climate. He em- 

 ])loyed a landscajic en<xine(^r to make 

 his ])lans and then began jilantiiig. 

 .\nd in all the years since then liis 

 jilanting has been continuous. 



His work has, of course, been marked 

 by many f.-iilures, but his successes have 

 UKU'e tlian comjiensated for them. His 

 collection of oaks, including the willow, 

 laurel leaf and all firdinary kinds, in- 

 cludes one of the show trees of the 

 grounds. This tree is 28 years old. It 

 is about fifty feet in height and the 

 spread of branches from north to south 

 is sixty feet three inches. From east 

 to west it is fifty-seven feet nine inches, 

 and one foot above the ground the 

 trunk measures six feet eight inches in 

 circumference. The variety is unde- 

 termined, but the tree is supposed to 

 be a natural cross of native oaks. 



His collection includes six varieties 

 of magnolia, a fine cyjiress tree, many 

 of the conifers, the ginkgo tree, jier- 

 simmon, papaw, sassafras, tupelo, a fine 

 tulip tr(»e now in full bloom and an 

 unknown variety of linden, now cov- 

 ered with its creamy, delightfully 

 scented flowers. 



His brother, Charles Lau, on liis farm 

 near by, has a collection of flowers sec- 

 ond only in interest to Henry Lau's 

 arboretum. He also has one of the 

 finest arbors of choice grapes, including
