 tawa, Mich. Mrs. Ellison and her daugh- 

 ter, Mrs. Wordy, will follow next week.

 resented at Cincinnati next month. Those 

 who will attend are: C. A. Kuehn, E. 

 W. Guy, A. Y. Ellison, Carl Beyer, Will-

WADING RIVER, N. Y. 



Elihu S. Miller, of this place, well 

 known in the, trade as a grower of bulbs 

 and hardy plants, has been appointed by 

 Gov. Hughes as one of the trustees of 

 the New York Agricultural Experiment 

 Station. Concerning this appointment a 

 local newspaper expresses the following 

 highly favorable opinion, which will 

 probably be heartily concurred in by all 

 of Mr. Miller's acquaintances: "The 

 Governor has made a good selection. 

 One could canvas the state from one 

 end to the other and a more progressive 

 agriculturist or florist could not be 

 found. He will prove a valuable as- 

 sistant in this work, for he has had years 

 of experience in experimental work on 

 his own account."

 MoBEHEAD Mfq. Oo., Detroit, Mich. 



Dear Sirs:— If your trap cost ten times what you ask for it, it would be cheap when 

 time, labor and cost of repairs are considered, in comparison with the steam pump I had 

 installed before srettinir your trap. 



I cannot praise it too blKbly and I recoramend it to everybody who talks steam. 



Yours truly, (Signed) V. W. Meyees. Prop., Riverside Greenhouses.

The Standard 

 Steam Trap 



Is acknowledged the best for the 

 florist, because it is durable and 

 does its work without trouble and 

 annoyance, saving its cost by the 

 economy in coal bills.
