iEN years have beeti sufficient to make the bistoury of 

 the plant trade ia Chicago and Frank Oechslin is the 

 man who has in a $ingle decade established this lousi- 

 ness and built the only exclusive wholesale plant rangre ia 

 the big western city. 



The first land (ten lots) was bought in 1902 and the first 

 greenhouses (six small ones) were built the following yfear— 

 there are now 31 large houses, 6(X) hot bed sash and ten aK.cres 

 of land in evidence of Mr.. Oechslin's skill as a grower. 



One of the principles upon which the Oech- 

 slin business has been built is to .be sail sfled 

 with nothing short of the best a greenhouse can 

 be made to produce. To produce the best, only 

 the best in greenhouse material and consfcruc- 

 tion has been employed. 



Mr. Oechslin's greenhouses are now the 

 show-place of the city and visitors there ar« al- 

 ways welcome. Go and see them and whea. yoii 

 admire the perfection of the plants and the cLean- 

 liness of the place, remember to visit the b«3iler 

 rooms and note that the name Ekoehciieii^l is 

 found on every one of the boilers.

to risk the boiler unless the house is 

 to be used for plants which would not 

 be injured if the temperature should 

 drop below 40 degrees for short periods. 



HOT WATER OS STEAM? 



We note that when people are in 

 doubt they evidently go to The Review 

 for information. We expect to tear 

 down our greenhouse and build a 

 larger one after the spring trade is 

 over. We grow a general line of pot- 

 ted plants. The carnation is the prin- 

 cipal plant that we grow for cut 

 blooms. Which is the better way to 

 run the house, north and south or east 

 and west? If we run it east and west, 

 our residence will help to shelter it 

 from the northwest winds. We are 

 now heating with steam; which ia the 

 better, steam or hot water? We have 

 400 feet of 2-inch pipe that we wish 

 to use. 



The house will be 27x100, with 5-foot 

 walls. One wall will consist of three 

 feet of concrete and two feet of glass; 

 the other wall will contain sixteen 

 inches of glass. We wish to main-
