COLD SNAP BRINGS FIRES. 



Hlghmore, S. D. — Max Winnegar's 

 greenhouse was destroyed by fire re- 

 cently, because aid could not be ob- 

 tained in time to check the flames. 



Catlln, ni. — The greenhouse owned 

 by Mrs. Floy Terpening was almost de- 

 stroyed by^' fire December 23. The 

 blaze started in the boiler room, from 

 an overheated boiler, it is thought, and 

 burned the east half of the house. The 

 •rest was so badly damaged that the 

 stock was practical alV lost. 



Quincy,'Ill.i-iThe gre^hous© of Her- 

 bert Arlt, on Twelfth street, was dam- 

 aged by fire December 12. A defect 

 in the boiler is given as the cause of 

 the fire. About ten feet of the east 

 eiMl 6f the house, which is 20x70 feet 

 ■in size, was destroyed, and twenty- 

 five per cent of the lettuce in the house 

 ruined. The total loss is placed at 

 about $200. There is no insurance. 



Nevada, Mo. — The boiler shed and 

 l»otted plant house of the Nevada 

 Greenhouses were destroyed by fire De- 

 cember 17, causing a loss of $2,000, 

 according to the proprietor, F. R. Roe. 

 The violet house was damaged-, so that 

 there will be no blooms this season, al- 

 though the plants will survive. Special 

 eflforts were made to keep up heat in 

 the other houses, containing Christmas 

 blooms, which were not damaged.
