pipe. If that is done, one less pipe in 

 each coil may be used. 



Carry the flow pipe to the highest 

 point as near the boiler as possible, and 

 connect it with a 6-gallon expansion 

 tank by means of a %-inch pipe. Lo- 

 cate the tank ten or more feet above 

 the flow pipe, if possible, where it will 

 not freeze. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



Delightful summer weather now pre- 

 vails, after several weeks of exception- 

 ally cold weather. A touch of winter 

 in the shape of a snow storm, an over- 

 cast sky and several days of rain caused 

 a shortening of the supply of stock, but 

 the demand was great and apparently 

 the October brides gave no thought 

 to the darkening clouds. The bright 

 days have been a relief to the florists, 

 whose stock is now increasing abund- 

 antly. 



Chrysanthemums are in the lead, and 

 Golden Glow, Polly Eose, Robinson, Oc- 

 tober Frost and Chrysolora hold full 

 •sway. Pompons are arriving and meet 

 with much favor. Hoses are in excel- 

 lent condition, although some soft stock 

 was apparent during the dark weather. 

 Killarneys, Sunbursts, Wards, Rich- 

 monds and Tafts are the favorite va- 

 rieties. Single violets are in and sell 

 readily. Sweet peas are making their 

 appearance. Cosmos is still in sea- 

 son, although becoming scarce. Good 

 snapdragons are in. Carnations are 

 all that could be desired, both in qual- 

 ity and quantity. Greens are becoming 

 scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The Auger Flower Shop has been ex- 

 ceedingly busy with funeral work 

 lately. They are receiving some fine 

 mums from local greenhouses. 



The Frank Knecht Co. is cutting 

 chrysanthemums heavily. 



The Bradley Flower Shop has a num- 

 ber of decorations booked for next 

 month. They also had the decoration 

 for the opening of the Jefferson 

 theater, October 28. 



Extensive work in landscape garden- 

 ing is being carried on by Miss Marjory 

 Bradley. Among her contracts she has 

 recentfy secured that of the Millard 

 home, on Washington boulevard, work 

 on which will be begun at once. 



Fall-flowering orchids and innumer- 

 able chrysanthemums of several vari- 

 eties, in bloom, have been attracting 

 the public to the greenhouses of W. J. 

 & M. S. Vesey. The public received 

 a cordial invitation from the firm to 

 inspect the fall and winter stock. 



Miss Doswell is receiving some splen- 

 did stock from the Doswell greenhouses, 

 including some fine snapdragons, early 

 varieties of sweet peas and some mam- 

 moth chrysanthemums. 



The autumn number of the Wildwood 

 Magazine^ published in this city, con- 

 tains a prettily illustrated and well 

 written article on "Flowers," by Miss 

 Althea Doswell. 



Some elegant roses are being cut at 

 the greenhouses of the Flick Floral Co. 

 Chrysanthemums are also being cut 

 heavily and the demand is strong. This 

 firm has had a tremendous sale of 

 smilax plants this fall, and has dis- 

 posed of an extensive lot of bulbs for 

 fall planting. 



Visitors included Maurice Le Vine, 

 representing Lion & Co., New York.

THE BOILER WITH A rURPOSE 



TO HEAT A 

 GREENHOUSE 



" Superior to them all " 

 is the verdict of all who 

 use the SUPERIOR 

 STANDARD. 



MADE IN 9 SIZES 



The SUPERIOR STANDARD is designed specially for greenhouse 

 work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily cleaned, al- 

 though it has more flues than any other boiler, but— more flues give more 

 heat: more flues require less fuel; the water heats quicker and hotter, 

 because the volume of water heated by each flue is smaller. 



All we ask is a chance to show you.
