THE SUPERIOR 



Improved Internal-Fired Steel Boiler 



Made in 10 sizes, to heat from 2000 to 6500 feet of 4-inch 

 pipe. No brick-work necessary; shipped on skids, all 

 ready to move into place and begin firing. Can be cleaned 

 without letting the fire out. All hubs made so they 

 can be used for either cast-iron or steam pipe. Tested 

 at 25 lbs. pressure and warranted; can be used for low 

 pressure steam by adding steam drum. Best material; 

 best workmanship. Specially designed for greenhouse 

 use; corrects the faults of other boilers. Lightest boiler 

 on the market capable of performing equal work. We 

 defy competition in prices on any boiler of equal 

 capacity. Investigate. Send for new illustrated cata- 

 logue, just out.

STRENGTH OF GLASS. 



We contemplate erecting a greenhouse 

 29x100 in an exposed locality and would 

 like to know the relative strength of 

 glass 16x24 inches and 20x30 inches. We 

 plan to use the second quality in double 

 strength, setting the sashbars either six- 

 teen or twenty inches apart. The wind 

 sometimes is as high as sixty miles an 

 hour. Will there be danger of breakage 

 by wind or snow with the large glass? 



F. D. S 



We would have no hesitation in using 

 double thick glass with the bars twenty 

 inches apart. As a matter of fact, we 

 are using double thick glass with bars 

 twenty-four inches apart in a great deal 

 of our work, and we never have had re- 

 ports of trouble from breakage by the 

 wind. The only case where we have had 

 any trouble was in one instance where 

 heavy, wet snow accumulated on the roof. 

 In this case our customer had no lieat 

 near the eaves, but a heating pipe has 

 since been put in and we do not antici- 

 pate any further trouble.

The Market 



There is little to be said about the cut 

 flower business, as everything is quiet, 

 although August business was up to the 

 average. Some houses report a little 

 more than in the corresponding month 

 last year. 



Flowers are sufficient for the demand. 

 Asters are abundant and of excellent 

 quality. Gladioli also are plentiful and 

 good. Dahlias are also abundant, but 

 some not so good as in previous years, 

 Van den Dael, perhaps, being the finest, 

 and they will soon be over. Roses are 

 still on the short side of the market, 

 though good for the season. Some excel- 

 lent long and medium stemmed Beauties 

 have been seen, and such sell well. Some 

 good Richmond roses are arriving, but

Various Notes. 



One of the events of the week was the 

 reception to Secretary of War Taft. 

 Thomas F. Walsh tendered him a break- 

 fast at his country place, where the dec- 

 orations were fine. There were also ex- 

 cellent decorations at the luncheon in the 

 Brown Palace hotel, the predominating 

 colors being red, white and blue, done by 

 the Park Floral Co. 



Another event was the annual flower 

 show of the El Paso (Jounty Horticul- 

 tural Society, at Colorado Springs. The 



only exhibitor from Denver was W. W. 

 Wilmore, the dahlia specialist, who had 

 a fine exhibit and took most of the lead- 

 ing prizes in that class. Among his 

 prize winners worthy of note in the dec- 

 orative class might be mentioned Laven- 

 der Beauty, Mme. Van den Dael, Gloire 

 de Lyon and Lucy Fawcett. E. S. K.
