The Rorists" Review 



July SI, 1913. 



BUILT FOR BEGINNERS 



WILKS BOILERS are ideal for the man who owns a small 

 greenhouse, who does bis own firing and needs a boiler that 

 can be relied on at all times. 



WILKS BOILERS are self-feeding. Fill the magazine with , 



fuel in the evening, and aa even, continuous ^re will be main- .. . 

 tained until morning without any attention. 



WILKS SELF-FEEDING HOT WATER BOILERS 



are built entirely of steel. Read what this user says about 

 their lasting qualities: 



R. D. No. 7, Rockford, 111.. .Jan. 1. 1'.tlO. 

 S. Wilks Mfg. Co. : 



We are usiiisr one of your 20 x ;56 Wilks Heaters in a 20 x 50-foot greenhouse, and it is giving excellent satisfac- 

 tion. Has been in constant u»e since 188:! and seems to be as good as new. Yours truly, D. E. Birdick. 



WILKS BOILERS will heat as much as 8000 square feet 

 of glass to G.5'' in zero weather. Write for Catalogue.

lar, salesroom and workroom. McCreight 

 avenue affords the only means of reach- 

 ing the cemetery gate by car line and 

 also by automobiles, which are not peri 

 mitted to pass in or out at the lower 

 entrance, the latter being reserved for 

 funeral uses only. It will be apparent, 

 therefore, that this location will natu- 

 rally catch the bulk of the transient 

 trade of cemetery visitors. Mr. Fin- 

 frock will be sole proprietor, and as 

 soon as the affairs of the Ferncliff Flo- 

 ral Co. are fully wound up he will prob- 

 ably do business as Finfrock, the Fern- 

 cliff Florist. 



Various Notes. 



The combination pipe, tile and con- 

 crete idea adopted by the Leedle Floral 

 Co. for gutter posts and ridge posts has 

 proved so satisfactory that the same 

 method has been followed in the con- 

 struction of the bench legs, for which 

 lighter pipe and only 3-inch tile are 

 necessary. The common red drain tile 

 is found to "knit" to the concrete fill- 

 ing admirably, and after a brush coat 

 on the surface it has become a compo- 

 nent part of each post and leg. Rein- 

 forced concrete is being used for the 

 front boards and rear boards of the 

 benches, the material tapering from an 

 iBch and an eighth at the top to an inch 

 and a half at the ledge, on which the 

 bottom boards of pecky cypress will rest 

 crosswise of the bench, while the string- 

 er which forms the ledge is approxi- 

 mately 2x3 inches. The forms are set 

 up in 154-foot lengths and an entire 

 length is poured at once, the concrete 

 filling around the top of pipe and with- 

 in the top of tile, thus making all prac- 

 tically monolithic as well as thoroughly 

 rot-proof, rust-proof and sag-proof. 



From various causes, the Springfield 

 Florists' Club lacked a quorum for its 

 regular July meeting, the vacation sea- 

 son seeming to affect the attendance, 

 but the appointment of the usual com- 

 mittee for the nomination of officers 

 should inject some animation into the 

 August meeting. Ge Dale. 



Davenport, la. — Ewoldt Bros, have 

 closed a contract with the John C. 

 Moninger Co. for the material for an- 

 other greenhouse at Floral Hill.
