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.

fine. Roses also are scarce and unequal 

 to the limited demand. Lilies are plen- 

 tiful, rubrum being most in evidence. 

 As to asters, they are in oversupply 

 and of good quality. Gladioli, dahlias, 

 etc., are to be seen on every hand. 



The prospects for a good carnation 

 crop this winter are fine, as the plants 

 in the bench are the firmest, bushiest, 

 best all-around stock that has been 

 planted in years. Even the plants left 

 in the field are strong, bushy stock, first- 

 class in every respect. 



Eli Cross is building a palm and fern 

 house. 



Bruinslot & Sons are putting up two 

 new houses for lettuce and cucumbers. 



The Wealthy Avenue Floral Co. is 

 making extensive repairs to the boilers, 

 putting in a new one, rebuilding the 

 brick chimney, rebuilding and improving 

 the houses adjoining the boiler-room. 



The Crabb & Hunter Floral Co. is tak- 

 ing the skylight glass roof off a 200-foot 

 house containing roses. It makes the 

 houses too dark in dull weather and in 

 winter, encouraging a soft growth. 

 Plain glass will take its place. Skylight 

 or ribbed glass may be all right for a 

 palm and fern house, as some claim, but 

 it is not good for anything else. 



The fact that the convention will be 

 held at Niagara Falls next August meets 

 with favor here, as it will insure a good 

 turnout, Niagara Falls being but one 

 day's journey from here. 



Next month the meetings of the Flo- 

 rists' Club will begin again at the 

 Board of Trade rooms. G. F. C.

is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its worlt without trouble and annoy-

ROCK ISLAND, ILL. 



The Tri-City Florists' Association met 

 September 12 with Ludwig Stapp, of 

 South Eock Island, a goodly number of 

 the members being in attendance. The 

 usual routine business was disposed of, 

 when the two subjects of the evening, 

 ' ' Most Profitable Plants for Christmas ' ' 

 and "Hot Water Under Pressure for 

 Heating," were discussed. Everybody 

 took part in the discussion. 



Theodore Ewoldt and John Temple, 

 the delegates to the state convention, 

 held at Des Moines during the last week 

 in August, gave a report of the conven- 



tion meetings, telling of the business 

 that was transacted and the social times 

 that were enjoyed. 



A fine supper was served by the host 

 and hostess after the business meeting. 

 The next meeting will be held with the 

 president of the association, William 

 Knees, of Moline. 



Salem, Va. — Jas. J. Curran, proprietor 

 of the Salem Conservatories, has gone for 

 a week's trip, in which he will visit At- 

 lantic City, Philadelphia, Washington, 

 and possibly New York. Mr. Curran will 

 have an exhibit at the interstate fair at 

 Ijyiichburg, October 1 to 4. 



Menasha, Wis. — Matt Stein, the gar- 

 dener of the Menasha City park, re- 

 cently spent several days in Chicago, in- 

 specting the flower beds in the various 

 parks of that city. 



Springfield, III. — In preparation for 

 the children's flower show, which was 

 held in the Armory, September 14, the 

 hall was simply but beautifully decorated 

 by the leading florists of the city, under 

 the direction of Albert T. Hey. The 

 decorations consisted chiefly of wild 

 flowers, such as goldenrod, daisies and 

 blue heather. Mr. Hey also had charge 

 of the selection of the judges.
