Dear Sirs: I wish to write you a few lines concerning your No. 2 boiler which we received last 

 fall. Tour boiler proved to be excellent in material and workmanghip. It did the work very 

 nicely last winter with a amall amount of coal. Others used up more than a carload while we 

 used only 16 tons all winter. incJuding what we used in the dwelling. Every one in our neiehbor- 

 hood has got a Kroeschell boiler. As soon as the other greenhouse men saw it they took a liking to 

 it and now they've all got one. We speak well of your boiler to all who see it. Tlie Kroeachell is 

 our favorite if we ever get another. Tours Respectfully, 



John Koenig, Box 88, Valley Crossing, O. 



NOT CAST IBON-Has thin waterways. Heats qulcldy. It is the most efficient, 

 safest and most economical boiler built, very powerful. 15 sizes, heating from the 

 smallest greenhouse up to 50,000 square feet ofglass to 60 degrees, at 15 degrees below 

 zero. Prices and catalogue on application.

greenhouse accidents must be included 

 the occasional bursting of a rusty or de- 

 fective pipe. For experienced florists 

 tl^t statement may contain no informa- 

 tion, as they already know all about the 

 peculiarities, the weaknesses and per- 

 Yersities, of heating pipes. 



But, though nearly all florists may 

 know that such sudden leaks are likely 

 to occur, and that they are capable of 

 causing much annoyance and damage, 

 perhaps many of them do not know how 

 easily, quickly and effectively the leaks 

 can be repaired, without aid from 

 plumber or pipe fitter, if the proper ap- 

 pliances are at hand. And in the case of 

 an uncontrollable leak it might be disas- 

 trous to wait for the arrival of a 

 plumber or pipe fitter; such delay might 

 be the most expensive phase of the whole 

 operation. 



For use in such emergencies there is 

 no better device than the Emergency 

 Pipe Clamp, and every greenhouse owner 

 should have it on hand in sizes to fit every 

 pipe on the place. The clamp is as sim- 

 ple as it is effective, consisting of two 

 malleable halves, hinged on one side and 

 fastened with two bolts on the other side, 

 and so constructed that a leak can hardly 

 occur where it is not applicable. Each 

 damp is fitted with a suitable piece of 

 packing. If the spUt to be mended is a 

 long , one, two or more clamps can be 

 used with one piece of packing. 



This device is among the steam spe- 

 cialties manufactured by James McCrea 

 & Co., Chicago. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market 



Business continues good, though it is 

 showing weakness in spots. Mums are 

 coming in heavily. The demand is 

 good, but the price took a drop last week 

 and mums wMch were selling for $2.50 

 and $3 per dozen were cut to $1.25 and 

 $1.50. A few of the midseason varieties 

 bring $2 to $3 right readily. Roses show 

 symptoms of being a glut. Carnations 

 alone continue scarce, and more of the 

 better qualities could be used to ad- 

 ntage. Lilies have been good prop- 

 ty. Valley has been doing well also. 



The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledgred the best for the 

 florist because it is durable, and does 

 its work without trouble and annoy- 

 ance, saving its cost by the economy 

 in coal bills.

gkntlkmkn:— You can strongly and unhesitatingly recommend the 

 "Eclipse" piston type reducing valve to florists. We have two, purchased 

 of you last year. We would not have them out for double their cost, and 

 find them as sensitive as a watch. We will be in Chicago soon to talte up 

 the vacuum system with you. Yours truly.

The conclave of Ohio Knights Tem- 

 plar, which was held here last week, 

 brought in many thousands of people 

 and helped the flower business to a con- 

 siderable extent. Many of the comman- 

 deries decorated their headquarters in 

 a lavish manner. This also gave the 

 storemen a chance for appropriate win- 

 dow displays, and most of them took 

 advantage of it. One of the most not- 

 able displays was that designed and 

 executed by Harry Morman, who is the 

 chief decorator for Julius Baer. Others 

 who had windows equally deserving of
