HEATING WITH NATURAL GAS " 



After three unsuccessful attempts, I. 

 Parker & Son, of Fort Scott, Kan., have 

 drilled a well vi'hich gives an abundant 

 flow of natural gas, which they will use 

 in heating their plant. The flow is. in 

 sufficient quantity to supply all the heat 

 that is required in the coldest winter. 



To obtain this flow of gas Mr. Parker 

 drilled three wells, and the expense will 

 aggregate $1,000. That amount of 

 money would purchase considerable coal 

 and it will be some time before he will 

 be getting the gas for nothing. The first 

 well developed a good flow of gas, but 

 Mr. Parker was overzealous to find a 

 stronger flow and he continued the drill- 

 ing in the same well. The result was 

 that the hole filled up Avith salt water 

 and drowned the supply. Then he drilled 

 another well, but did not find sufficient 

 gas to supply his needs. The third has 

 just been brought in and it is fine. The 

 well is about 275 feet deep. The pres- 

 sure is good and the volume is sufficient 

 to furnish the fuel for many years to 

 come. 



AUSTIN, TEX. 



This section is doing more in flower 

 growing than ever in its history, and 

 plans are being made for extensions. The 

 Hyde Park Floral Co. has just completed 

 a new palm house 18x50 on the west end 

 of its greenhouses. This company han- 

 dles the crop of tuberoses from Kam- 

 say's Austin nurseries. There are sev- 

 eral acres of these lilies and the field is a 

 grand sight, the graceful stems waving 

 in the strong breeze. These lilies are 

 irrigated from surface wells by the use 

 of a gasoline pumping plant. 



A. J. Seider, who. organized this com- 

 pany a year ago, has sold his interest and 

 is reported to be going in business on 

 an extensive scale for himself. 



Charles Alff & Co. 's nurseries are 

 busy. 



Mr. Hall is reducing his business, as 

 he is planning to retire. 



Alfred Holm has recently built another 

 new palm house. Mrs. Hillyer's cut 

 flower trade is good. RiciNUS. 



Iron Mountain, Mich. — G. F. Plow- 

 man is preparing to build a house 20x80. 



Bloomington, III. — The Phoenix Nur- 

 sery Co. has contracted for a new house, 

 to contain 3,000 square feet of glass. 

 When the building is completed the old 

 establishment on Park street will be 

 torn down. 



PEOPLE who know a g jod itiiiig when tbey see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must b^ possessed with good judgment and are generally suc- 

 cessful. One of our successful growers has this year taken out 6ooo feet of 

 wooden gutters, which were only 5 years old. and replaced the same with 6000 feet 

 of the GARLA.ND IRON GUTTER, this being his fifth annual order. 



Our long list of orders of this kind is our best reference. By writing any of 

 the large growers at Chicago you will confer a favor on the
