Repair that Leaky or Cracked Boiler 



Without Shutting Off 

 the Heat 



EVERY greenhouse man who has ever had a leaky or cracked boiler 

 knows what a lot of time, trouble and money that means. 

 Yet all the fuss and worry attendant upon the old-fashioned 

 method of repairing is now entirely unnecessary. 



"X"— the wonderful Boiler Li(juid-willdo$200.00 worth of repair 

 work for $10.00; and do it in about half an hour. 



"X'' Is a Scientific Process of Repairing 

 Without Dismantling or Welding 



"X" is an absolute liauid. It is simply poured into the boiler and 

 instantly combines itself with the water. In sizzling out through 

 the leak or crack the "X" is changed by the atmospheric oxygen into 

 a metal-like solid, making a permanent repair. This repair is gradu- 

 ally hardrned by the heat in the boiler, so that it stands a pressure 

 of over one-quarter of a ton. 



The surplus "X" that remains in the water automatically stops 

 all new leaks due to expansion or other causes. In this way "X" 

 Liauid makes the boiler (and in a hot water system, the entire sys- 

 tem) absolutely LEAKPROOF. 



Makes Boilers Rustproof and Scaleproof 



Saves Coal 



The chemical composition of '"X" Liquid is such that it absorbs 

 all free oxygen in the water. This prevents the metal from Rusting. 

 "X" also prevents the lime and other scale-forming elements in the 

 water from depositing layers of Scale on the walls, "X" keeps the 

 boiler Rustproof and Scaleproof. 



"X" does not evaporate or lose its strength with age. When new 

 water is added it combines itself with this water and performs its 

 functions again and again. 



"X" contains no cement, powder or other injurious ingredients. 

 It cannot clog the air valves; in fact it makes frequent repacking of 

 valves unnecessary. 



A Strong 

 Guarantee I 



You take no chance in using 

 "X" Liquid It is uncondition- 

 ally guaranteed to make good. If 

 it fails you get a new can— or 

 your money back. 



But your greatest guarantee 

 of the value of "X" is the fact 

 that it is used, sold and recom- 

 mended by 99 per cent of the 

 manufacturers of boilers and 

 radiators. It is used by the U, S. 

 Government, 



If your boiler cracks or leaks 

 this Winter you don't have to 

 worry about your greenery — if 

 you keep a can of ' X" Liquid 

 handy, .lust get a can of "X" 

 and do the repair job yourself.

The Market. 



The market has been kept well 

 cleaned, but this is not due to the de- 

 mand. Carnations and roses are both off 

 crop and few are in the market. Coun- 

 ter trade has been rather dull and what 

 little floral work there has been was 

 taken care of with small effort. There 

 are few chrysanthemums in the market 

 and what do arrive clean up readily. A 

 few pompons are still offered. Violets, 

 locally grown singles and doubles, have 

 been far short of the demand; Cali- 

 fornia singles are offered with little suc- 

 cess. Stevia is arriving in quantity and 

 cleans up well at $2 and $2.50 per hun- 

 dred. The demand for narcissi has been 

 good and they realize $6 per hundred. 

 Daisies, calendulas, wallllowcrs and 

 other novelties clean up well. The mar- 

 ket is well supplied with greens, of 

 which adiantum is in most demand. 

 Boxwood, princess pine and laurel are 

 clearing well. Christmas novelties for 

 baskets, wreaths and other decorations 

 are having a heavy demand; there is a 

 variety of these exceeding other years. 

 Various Notes. 



.Tohn Michelsen, of the E. C. Amling 

 Co., Chicago, was in the city. He was 

 entertained at the home of Al. Barber. 



E. H. Brown, of Canton, O., was in 

 the city on business last week. 



H. P. Knoble has been spending much 

 of his time with the Friedley Co. He re- 

 ports a fine lot of potted plants for the 

 holidav trade. 



F. W. Griffin is the happy father of a 



bov. 



*'Nite" Light Time is Here 



'T^HE days are getting shorter. Darkness comes early. 

 '■ Before your work is finished you are compelled to 

 stop because you can no longer see. 



The ordinary barn lantern gives out about thirty can- 

 dle power; not much fcood to work by. 



The "Xite" Lantern gives out 400 candle power, burns 

 gasoline and costs about l/4c per hour to run. Can 



be used very roughly without damage and will not blow 

 out in a wind. 



It is a great thing to hang in your boiler or packing 

 room, for it lights up the whole place, enabling all to 

 do some extra work, and it spreads cheerfulness all 

 around. 



Capacity 1 ouart (burns 15 hours), price $7.00.
