BRANDON, MAN. 



The Brandon Greenhouses, Brandon, 

 Man., havp. been sold to the Brandon 

 Seed and Kursery House by Fred Man- 

 soff, who established the business thir- 

 teen years ago. The consideration was 

 $15,000. 



Mr. and Mrs. Mansoff came from Lon- 

 don, England, with a capital not exceed- 

 ing $10, but with great pluck and energy 

 he established a small market garden 

 and later added greenhouses on ground 

 north of the present site. Good progress 

 was made until the spring of 1900, 

 when the flats were completely flooded 

 with water from the overflow from the 

 river, and Mr. Mansoff lost everything 

 he had gained during the previous seven 

 years. 



Nothing daunted, he started again, but 

 this time on a higher level farther south, 

 removing his greenhouses thither. From 

 that time steady progress has been made, 

 and now, when Mr. Mansoff has his busi- 

 ness in the best of shape, he has sold it 

 at a good figure. Mr. Mansoff has the 

 reputation of being the only florist who 

 has made a success of growing roses 

 in Manitoba and his success with carna- 

 tions and other flowers has been almost 

 as great. 



Mr. Mansoff will stay with the new 

 company until July 1, and will super- 

 intend the erection of another green- 

 house and the replanting of the present 

 ones, after which he will take a well- 

 earned vacation, visiting several large 

 cities in the States. He intends to return 

 to Brandon to reside. 



SCRANTON, PA. 



The Scranton Florists' Club is grow- 

 ing rapidly. At the last meeting appli- 

 cations for membership were received 

 from florists from Dunmore, Scranton, 

 Wilkes-Barre and Bloomsburg. A ma- 

 jority of the leading florists from Lacka- 

 wanna, Luzerne and Columbia counties 

 now belong to the club. At the next 

 meeting, March 16, members are re- 

 quested to bring a few carnations or a 

 plant in bloom. We have seen new vari- 

 eties exhibited by outside growers and 

 now we would like to see what our own 

 men are doing. 



Mrs. McConnell, wife of J. M. McCon- 

 nell, died at her home on Oak street 

 Monday, February 19, after a lingering 

 illness. She was associated with her 

 husband's business for many years and 

 leaves a wide circle of friends to mourn 

 her loss. Interment was at Gouldsburg 

 February 21, H. 



PEOPLE who know a good thing when they see it, and will take advantage 

 of the same, must be 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 GARLAND 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 yon will confer a favor on the

Superior Boilers Are Good Boilers 



Bead what our customers say about them: 



South Bend, Ixi)., April 4, 1904. 



"Superior to any Hot Water Boiler we have 

 ever used. You certainly have placed the right 

 name to your Boilers; no effort at all to keep 

 the temperature at desired points when zero 

 weather comes. Nlgrht after nltf ht the past se- 

 vere winter weather grave your Boiler a grood test. 

 We are more than pleased with the Superior 

 Boiler." Yours truly, Treanor & Rettlc.
