Enclosed find M. 0. for balance dbe on 

 the Boiler. I am well satisfied with the 

 Wilks Heater ; it kept an even temper- 

 ature of 55* in the greenhouse when the 

 thermometer outside registered 40* below 

 during the last spell of cold weather. 

 Yours respectfully,

And he^e are the reasons: 



Wilks Boilers are specially built for 

 ■ - greenhouses. 



Wilks Boilers are carefully rated. 

 Wilks Bttllers will perfectly beat up to 



3000 square feet of glass. 

 Willis Boilers hold an even, continuous 



fire for 12 hours without attention. 

 Wilks Boilers— well, there are so many 



good reasons we can't tell them all 



here.

seedsmen for their supply of garden 

 seeds. Activity then sets in among the 

 seed stores, and a few of them will be 

 compelled to work night and day to 

 fill their orders. The market is filled 

 with a profusion of vegetables, selling 

 at low prices, owing to the overproduc- 

 tion of many varieties. The growers 

 had a most deplorable season last year 

 and nearly everything grown went beg- 

 ging. This was occasioned by the late, 

 open winter experienced throughout 

 the north. The usual acreage will be 

 planted, however, and it looks as though 

 many thousands of acres of reclaimed 

 land in the delta section of the state 

 will produce vegetables also. In addi- 

 tion to this, many of the large sugar 

 plantations will be forced eventually to 

 adopt some other crop than sugar. This 

 will all have a tendency to make this 

 section one of the world's greatest ag- 

 ricultural regions, as the ideal soil, cli- 

 mate, etc., enables it to grow vegetables 

 that have the preference in every mar- 

 ket in the country. 



Various Notes.

 orchids, roses and violets a specialty," 

 reads a new sign on one of the big 

 empty stores on Carondelet street, in 

 the main business section of the city, 

 and in the same block as the Metairie 

 Ridge Nursery Co. and Henry Cook. 

 The new firm will formally open in 

 grand style early in September, and, be- 

 ing known as up-to-date, enterprising 

 florists, they are bound to make goodt^ 



Fred Dornioy is still following m^ 

 hobby of hybridizing flowering shrubs, 

 caladiums, amaryllis, etc., besides grow- 

 ing all kinds of conifers from seeds and 

 cuttings. In this enterprise he has been 

 quite successful of late, and his new 

 Lagerstrcemia Indica, of an extremely 

 delicate pink color and of rapid and 

 easy growth from cuttings, is undoubt- 

 edly destined to find a profitable mar- 

 ket. His slogan, "Be the first with 

 your special line of plants, and you 

 make the money," helps him consid- 

 erably in selling out his stock, 



Louis Renter has for some time had 

 full charge of the big seed department 

 of Chris. Reuter, seedsman and shipper 

 of all kinds of vegetables. Being wide-
