AND 



ABOUT SOME 

 REPAIR HAPPENINGS 



Last week we went through a large range of 

 wooden houses in which about every sixth bar 

 was repaired at the eave line; fully half the 

 wooden plate had been replaced, and here and 

 there, all along its length, pieces of iron had been screwed on to stiffen a weak point. This is 

 the sort of thing this man has been doing every year for the last ten, and he doesn't know to this 

 day that his repair bills long ago amounted to more than the difference in expense between the 

 cost of those wooden houses and our Iron Frame. And see the shade-casting traps he has to 

 meet in competition with growers having our light, enduring, up-to-date construction. Forget 

 the money you made in old wooden houses along in the seventies — things are different now — you 

 have to be up-to-date or you are down and out these days. Write us.

HOUSTON, TEX. 



Orders for decorations for late fall 

 weddings and considerable funeral work 

 keep the craft on the move. 



B. C. Kerr contemplates making a big 

 change in his business in the near mf' 

 ture, having secured a fine plot of land 

 located a short distance from the town 

 plant. The grand hybrid tea rose, Helen 

 Gould, makes wood and buds almost equal 

 to the best Beauty. It i^ a splendid 

 acquisition. 



Wm. Kutschbach has recently added 

 three houses and is looking for a loca- 

 tion to put up a large range, if business 

 continues to increase as it has done of 

 late. One of the sights of the town is 

 Asparagus Sprengeri grown in 3-inch 

 baskets, a specialty not seen elsewhere. 

 Mr. Kutschbach has a corner on these. 



Reichardt & Schulte report trade in 

 field seeds as being rather slow. Farm- 

 ers are holding back their cotton, but 

 with a little cold weather the situation 

 will improve. Local business is good. 



W. 



FORT WORTH, TEX. 



Baker Bros, are extending their land- 

 scape department. They are now busy 

 planting two large estates, which will 

 require the use of several hundreds of 

 specimen trees and thousands of herba- 

 ceous plants. 



The Drumm Seed & Floral Co. does 

 not make a big racket, although Mr. 

 Drumm says the trade-mark of the ^rm, 

 a drum, is an effective drummer and has, 

 undoubtedly, been the means of drum- 

 ming up a good business. The company 

 issues a neat catalogue. 



McAdam & Cowell are florists, devot- 

 ing their whole attention to growing and 

 retailing. They have a fine store and 

 report a satisfactory holiday business. 



W. 



Cedak Rapids, Ia. — Grant Newport has 

 completed three new houses, each 11x100 

 feet, and lias planted them to lettuce. 



Hudson, Mich. — R. Peterson, who re- 

 cently purchased the Hudson Greenhouses, 

 is busy enlarging and improving them. 

 The steam pipes have been taken up and 

 relaid in better shape. Four new houses 

 are now in different stages of construc- 

 tion and six more will be erected in the 

 spring.

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

 of the same, must be possessed with good judgment and are generairy sac- 

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

 wooden gutters, which were o nly 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
