liquid manure to water the whole plant 

 at one operation when necessary. An 

 elrctrically driven centrifugal pump de- 

 livers the liquids to the houses at an 

 ejahty-five-pound pressure and the 

 V jves are so arranged that clear water, 

 liouid manure at full strength or a mix- 

 t;;re of the two at any required 

 hirength can be had by manipulation. 

 T lis is the finest and most complete in- 

 ; allation of its kind the writer has 

 I er seen, east or west. 



The boilers here are capable of 390 

 r')r8epower at normal, though a much 

 I igher horsepower could be developed 

 i! required. In one of the boilers all 



■18 refuse of the place is incinerated, 

 . nd this is used to soften and heat the 



ater before it goes to the main boilers. 

 >y a system of valves, the steam from 

 ;.!ny one or all of the boilers can be 

 Tised in any group or all the houses, 

 fo that, in case of a breakdown, no part 

 of the range is in danger. Oil is used 

 as fuel and a new cement reservoir of 

 .'),000-barrel capacity has been built 

 this year. During the summer this is 

 not used, but the original and smaller 

 one has been retained for use when 

 not running at full capacity. Such a 

 large storage, of course, makes it al- 

 most impossible to be caught without a 

 good oil supply, no matter what hap- 

 pens. 



Every Man a Part. 



Begarding the new houses already 

 mentioned, the construction is going on 

 rapidly. The benches and pipes are all 

 in place and Mr. Armacost hopes to 

 plant before glazing. All the work is 

 done by mechanics in the employ of the 

 firm, and here the same systematic 

 methods are followed. In the building 

 or pipe fitting every man has his part 

 to do, and the assembling is done 

 smoothly and without a hitch. 



In tools and equipment the best ob- 

 tainable labor-savers are used. An elec- 

 trically driven power pipe-threader, for 

 instance, is a most useful tool. By its 

 aid, pipe up to 4-inch can be threaded 

 in a few seconds, a job that would take 

 three or four men, with hand dies, a 

 long time. It is also just as well 

 adapted to threading %-inch or %-inch 

 pipe. In fact, the whole place is run

in an almost perfect system, and reflects 

 the greatest credit on its head and 

 everyone else concerned. Visitors to 

 the big show of the California Nursery- 

 men 's Association next fall should not 

 fail to take in the great range of Wal-

 one of the most interesting and instruc- 

 tive places in the west. H. R. E. 



LUBLINER'S NEW STORE. 



The rapidly increasing business of 

 William Lublini^r, Milwaukee, Wis., de- 

 manded that he move his business into 

 a place where he could get larger quar- 

 ters. So he moved in the early part of 

 May into one of the largest and best 

 equipped florists' stores in the state, 

 and comparable to almost any in the 

 middle west. 



The two illustrations show the ex- 

 terior and interior of the store. The 

 show window is a spacious affair, pret- 

 tily tiled, with a mirror effect on the 

 sides, and opening out into the store at 



its full width. Thus an unobstructed 

 view of the attractive interior is ob- 

 tained by all who pass the store. 

 The view of the interior shows the man- 

 ner of decorating the store. It is all 

 in white tile and white woodwork. The 

 little "service corner," where patrons 

 may sit and write cards or sit and rest 

 and wait, is attractive and cozy. 



The store occupies a space twenty- 

 three feet wide and ninety feet long, 

 which makes it a good-sized store. 



LOW-PRICED CASH REGISTER. 



In the past many florists who were 

 starting in business, while realizing the 

 great value of receipt-printing cash reg- 

 isters, felt that they could not afford 

 machines of that type because of their 

 higher price. 



Announcement has been made by the 

 National Cash Eegister Co. that a new 

 low-priced cash register, designed to fill 

 this long felt want, has been placed on 

 the market. The new machine, which is 

 called the Class 1100, is a low-priced 

 register that issues a receipt with every 

 transaction. 



The company's corps of inventors set 

 to work; a model was built and given 

 severe tests to make sure that it was 

 up to standard; then the register was 

 placed in actual operation in stores and 

 met requirements with success. 



The new register is built in several 

 different models, adapted for use in 

 varied lines of business. At each opera- 

 tion of the register a receipt is printed 

 and issued. This receipt shows the 

 merchant's name and address, the 

 amount and number of the transaction, 

 and the date. 



The '^Service Comer" Is a Restful Spot in Lubliner's New Store. 



Minneapolis, Minn. — Fire destroyed 

 the greenhouse of Julius Rieck. Start- 

 ing in the furnace room, it demolished 

 plants, flowers and fixtures to the value 

 of about $5,000. 



Oneida, N. Y.— William Kraft has 

 sold his greenhouse and business to 

 Louis L. Cook. Mr. Kraft is undecided 

 as to his future plans. Mr. Cook has 

 been associated with Mr. Kraft for a 

 number of years.
