The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 16, 1008. 



from small beginnings without plan or 

 other reason than the need for "another 

 house" to care for increasing business. 



Nowadays there are half a dozen ways 

 of making hot water do things it wouid 

 not do before the inventors got to work. 

 And steam is assisted on its rounds by 

 regulators, condensation traps and me- 

 chanically created vacuums. Even pipe 

 joints at trifling cost may be made tight 

 with the guarantee that they will not rust 

 and become inseparable. 



By all means go over your heating ap- 

 paratus now. Study its defects and rec- 

 tify them; if not by such simple changes 

 as frequently accomplish the desired re- 

 sult, then by employing one or more of 

 the devices which are needed to make 

 the apparatus both efficient and econom- 

 ical. Money spent in this way frequently 

 comes back quickly; growers using small 

 coal found a rocking grate with closely 

 spaced bars quickly paid for itself 

 through the saving of fuel that had 

 dropped through their old, wide bars. 



TOLEDO, OHIO. 



State of Trade. 



Florists all over the city are satis- 

 fied with business. In fact, never be- 

 fore in years has the outlook for July 

 been more favorable. With the ther- 

 mometer registering from 90 to 97 de- 

 grees, it is remarkable how business is 

 keeping up, and stock is in good condi- 

 tion. There were a number of large 

 funerals last week, and most of the flo- 

 rists were kept busy in consequence. 



The local sweet peas are of exceptional 

 quality. 



Various Notes. 



Among the notable recent events was 

 the wedding of Miss Grace N. Peck, 

 daughter of S. N. Peck, and O. F. Hal- 

 loway, a real estate dealer. The church 

 was elaborately decorated by Mr. Peck. 



Mrs. E. Suder received a large ship- 

 ment of Richmond and Killarney roses 

 this week froni Chicago. They are a 

 very good quality. 



Notable among the events of the week 

 was the Foutz-Percival wedding at the 

 Washington Congregational church. The 

 decorations were furnished by S. N. Peck.

 designs at the funeral of Attorney Han-

 radiating power of the system. You can keep your boilers 

 on-the ground level and have a perfect circulation by their 

 use. Send for booklet.
