GET WISE 



TO THE FACT 



You Will Save Coal 



by installing The Martin Rockingf Gh'ate. Costs a little more 

 than ordinary grates, but the coal burns— it doesn't go into the 

 ashpit. 



We refer to Peter Reinberg, Emil Buettner, BassettA Washburn, Wie tor Bros.. 

 Adam Zender, Sinner Bros.. Albert Dickinson Seed Co.. and many others. 

 Tta«y will tell you to order the Martin Rocklne Grate for all of your 

 boilers. Write for catalogue and prices.

ports a decided improvement in busi- 

 ness during the last two weeks of Au- 

 gust. Mr. Harvey and his wife spent 

 Labor day with their daughter near 

 Chatham. Mr. Harvey will soon begin 

 to paint and otherwise fix up his store 

 for the coming season. He will also 

 lay in a new stock of palms. 



Ludolff & Kautzmann, 109 Spring- 

 field avenue, have had a most beauti- 

 ful display in one of their windows, 

 which was fixed up in a realistic man- 

 ner to represent the entrance to a cave. 

 All up the sides of the cave and over 

 the entrance were ferns of different 

 kinds. In the entrance was a small 

 pool of water in which there were a 

 number of goldfish. In the window 

 were treetoads, chameleons, etc., which 

 sought the cool places among the ferns 

 or crawled up the sides. The effect, 

 with the touch of real life furnished 

 by the fish, treetoads and chameleons, 

 was pretty, and a large number of peo- 

 ple were interested in the display.

The Market. 



The weather during the last two 

 we^ks has been quite cool and the 

 visitors at the seashore are returning 

 earlier this season than usual. Busi- 

 ness shows quite an improvement over 

 July and August. 



The cool weather has materially 

 affected the supply of roses. The cuts 

 are smaller now than they have been 

 for many weeks. All varieties and 

 grades clean up readily. White is 

 scarce. The supply of carnations is 

 limited. Some good Golden Glow mums 

 are seen. 



Various Notes. 



W. R. Pierson is improving rapidly 

 and his friends are looking forward to 

 his home-coming soon. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., had a display of 

 plants and cut flowers at Rochester 

 last week. Robert Karlstrom and 

 Harry Anderson represented the firm. 

 A large exhibit is being made at 

 Charter Oak fair this week. Alex. Cum- 

 mings is acting as superintendent of 

 the floral department, as usual, at the 

 fair. 



Joseph McManus is spending his 

 vacation at Middlebeach, Madison. 



Carl Pierson, brother of A. N. Pier- 

 son, is erecting a greenhouse 20x100 

 for forcing winter vegetables. Hereto- 

 fore mushrooms have been his specialty. 



H. Newbrand has purchased an Over- 

 land car. R. C. 8. 



The Heating Problem Solved 



Juigini strictly acconiini to mechmieal merits, it's 

 the MnROPOLITAN PATENTED BOILER you want. 



Because of their proven'sclentlflcally perfect con- 

 struction. Metropolitan Patented Boilers will heat a 

 (riven amount of water quicker, with less fuel and 

 less attention than any other boiler on the market. 

 The remarkable heatlntr efficiency and quick 

 steaminR qualities of these Iwllers are due to their 

 larife and effective heatiUK surface. 



Just a few points of Metropolitan Patented Boiler 

 mertl:— , 



Smooth, perfect finished castings. 

 Push nipple connections. 

 li&rge Are box. provldlnjr ample combustion 

 chamber, and permlttlnK a sufficient charjre 

 of fuel to require att«>ntlon only at lonir 

 intervals. 

 Deep ash pit, making the removal of ashes a 



sllelit task. 

 Lartrt- flues, making the l>oller easy to clean. 

 Omtes that are made for hard usage and long 



service. 

 And atv>ve all, they are Fuel Saving, not Fuel 

 Wasting. 

 We also make soft coal Iwllers which are smoke- 

 less, and savQ 60 per cent in coal.

Experience 



We operated greenhouses 

 many years before we started 

 to build them. Every Gar- 

 land house must qualify to 

 the standard which experi- 

 ence shows us is correct.

Our claim to having the 

 most complete equipment is 

 substantiated by facte. We 

 are the only concern in this 

 field operating its own FOUN-
