THE BUILDING BOOM. 



Early in the new year the manufac- 

 turers of greenhouse structural material 

 awakened to the fact that a building 

 boom was on. It was not long before 

 they found the season's orders running 

 considerably in excess of any previous 

 year, a lead which has been steadily 

 maintained. A little later the jobbers 

 in window glass felt the effects of the 

 building boom and shortly the dealers 

 in greenhouse hardware began to feel 

 it, especially those who handle full lines. 

 Among these is Henion & Hubbell, who 

 supply the steam fitting materials and 

 heating specialties for a large number 

 of the growers north of Chicago. They 

 handle practically everything in the line 

 of steam fitters' and plumbers' supplies 

 and report that the season's inquiries 

 are very much heavier than usual in this 

 department. A great many of the larger 

 greenhouse establishments are putting in 

 steam instead of hot water heat. They 

 are buying steam traps, pressure regula- 

 tors and other accessories of up-to-date 

 heating plants. The Henion & Hubbell 

 Co. has a man especially to look after 

 the greenhouse business in Cook county 

 and also does a large mail order busi- 

 ness in the same department. They find 

 this business growing rapidly and intend 

 to push it. 



The Herendeen Mfg. Co., of Geneva, 

 X. Y., is another firm which is feeling 

 the effects of the building boom.- The 

 boiler is not wanted so early as the 

 other material and the inquiries in this 

 line are a little later in coming to hand. 

 The Herendeen people issue a special 

 greenhouse catalogue and have sold many 

 hundreds of boilers to florists. They 

 were awarded a certificate of merit for 

 their exhibit at the S. A. F. convention 

 at New York in 1900. They have sev- 

 eral branch warehouses through the 

 country, at all of which it is reported 

 that the greenhouse business this season 

 promises to be the heaviest on record. 



One heating specialty in which the 

 growers are taking much interest is the 

 rocking grate. The device manufactured 

 by the Martin Grate Co. was last seas(m 

 installed by most of the large growers 

 around Chicago. Nearly every visitor 

 takes occasion to look into the work-
