THE RIBBON HOUSE

31 and 33 East 28lh street, NEW YORK 



HEADQUARTERS 



For Florists' Ribbons. Chiffons and Novelties 



he stretched galvanized hardware cloth 

 between the posts to a height of thirty 

 inches and plastered it on both sides 

 with concrete cement. The result is a 

 wall three-quarters of an inch thick 

 which the hardest kick failed to dent. 

 In cost it proved to be about half that 

 of concrete. 



The legs of the benches in this house 

 are concrete building blocks, 4x8x16 

 inches, stood on end on a shovelful of 

 concrete in a hole six inches deep. 

 Across these are 3x3-inch wooden cross 

 bars supporting stringers, on which are 

 laid tile. 



In his shed Mr. Hill had arranged an 

 ingenious device for heating water for 

 shower baths. A 1%-inch pipe was 

 jacketed on a %-incli water pipe, the 

 length of the shed. The steam turned 

 into the larger pipe heats the water in 

 the pipe it surrounds. 



A battery of four 150-horsepower 

 Brownell boilers heats the range. A 

 Kroeschell refrigerating system is also 

 in use here. 



Bange of Carnations. 



At the luncheon roll call later W. J. 

 Keimel introduced himself as a profes- 

 sional rose grower of Elmhurst, 111., and 

 an amateur carnation grower of Rich- 

 mond, Ind. He piloted the visitors 

 from the Hill establishment to the 

 houses of the Richmond Greenhouse Co. 

 and displayed some excellent carnations, 

 grown under the direction of Manager 

 Lawrence Lahman. 



There are 52,000 carnation plants 

 here. Laddie numbers 15,000 and 

 Matchless 13,000. In smaller numbers 

 are grown Aviator, Xcbraska, Benora, 

 Enchantress Supreme, Topsy and Mrs. 

 C. W. "Ward. All show splendid growth 

 and are in excellent condition. 



Some chrysanthemums were seen also. 

 The varieties grown included Rich- 

 mond, Comoleta, Chieftain, Bonnaffon, 

 Golden Glow, Early Frost and Golden 

 Queen. In solid beds was as thick a 

 growth of pompons as one can find. The 

 stock was in excellent shape and prom- 

 ised a bountiful crop. Christmas Gold, 

 Ida and Niza were the leading varieties. 



Luncheon at Church. 



On the way to luncheon the party 

 stopped at the range of George R. 

 Gause. Here is about 18,000 feet of 

 glass, filled with roses, carnations, chrys- 



FRAT-M'S 



Frat-Ms are a great help to florists who make funeral work. They are exact 

 reproductlona of the ofllclal emblems embossed In gold and the difCerent colors as 

 required by each Fraternal and Labor organization. 



The florist in saved time and worry in the nuisance of lettering, as well as the 

 keeping of such a stock of wire frames, and different colored flowers. Just use such 

 flowers as you have and then attach a FRAT-M with paste to the chiffon, or by the 

 hanger that comes for each, as a card, and that Is all there Is to it. excepting the 

 comment and commendatory talk for the florist. 



Just pick out a dozen of the most used, from the list following, enclosing 12.00 

 per dozen, and if they don't make you ten times their cost, return those unosed and 

 get your money.

Luncheon was served at the Grace 

 Episcopal church, a repast of that en- 

 joyable sort which hotels can not pro- 

 vide. A roll call, in F. T.«D. fashion, 

 introduced all to one another. After 

 expressing his own appreciation of the 

 guests' visit, E. G. Hill, toastmaster of 

 the occasion, presented each of the fam- 

 ily, who were warmly applauded. Brief 

 remarks followed from G. E. M. Stumpp, 

 H. P. Knoble, Miss Sara Hill, C. H.
