The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NovEUBEB 25, 1909. 



NEWS NOTES. 



Feeeport, III. — The Freeport Floral 

 Co., which was incorporated some months 

 ago hj Louis Bauscher, D. C. L. Mease 

 and Chas. H. Little, will occupy a large, 

 handsome room in the new Alfred Frueh 

 building, on Stephenson street. 



Beaver Falls, Pa. — E. C. Wagoner, 

 whose greenhouses are located on the 

 Darlington road a short distance from 

 this city, has been suffering for several 

 weeks from a severe illness and general 

 physical prostration, but is now recover- 

 ing, 



EiCHMOND, Ind. — Fred H. Lemon & 

 Co. held^ a chrysanthemum show in the 

 Starr piano salesrooms, at the corner 

 of Tenth and Main streets. The show 

 continued for two days and attracted 

 large crowds of people. Mr. Lemon's 

 pompon mums won several prizes at the 

 St. Louis show. 



Kansas City, Kan. — James Brough, 

 who bought the business of A. T. Holmes, 

 at 708 Minnesota avenue, has now re- 

 moved to 812 Minnesota avenue and is 

 nicely established in his new store. Mr. 

 Brough is an experienced florist and was 

 with J. S. Short, at 512 North Sixth 

 street, this city, eleven years ago. 



Fond Dv Lac, Wis.— Bush & Broome 

 have purchased the Boulay greenhouses, 

 formerly used for vegetables, and are 

 now growing a line of florists' stock. 

 Mr. Broome was previously a retail 

 florist at Stevens Point, Wis. The Ve- 

 raus & Bauer Shoe Co. is now handling 

 cut flowers and plants, at the old Johann- 

 son store, as a side line. 



Minneapolis, Minn.— Topel & Giebels, 

 a newly organized flrm, have opened 

 a store at 328 First avenue. Mr. Gie- 

 bels has just completed a large job of 

 landscape work at Grand Rapids, and 

 more work of the same sort has been 

 promised to him in that city, including 

 one contract which requires the planting 

 of something over 2,000 shrubs next 

 spring. 



Kingston, N. Y.— David Burgevin has 

 been elected, on the democratic ticket, as 

 supervisor in the seventh department of 

 the city. This result is considered a par- 

 ticularly emphatic endorsement of Mr. 

 Burgevin, since his district is strongly 

 republican. He was born in this city, has 

 built up a good business here and the 

 voters were well acquainted with the man 

 they were supporting. 



Connellsville, Pa. — P. E. De Muth & 

 Sons have incorporated with $20,000 cap- 

 ital stock. At a recent meeting of the 

 stockholders P. R. De Muth, C. E. De 

 Muth, A. N. De Muth and J. A. De Muth 

 were elected directors and then elected 

 the following officers: President, P. R. 

 DeMuth; vice-president, C. E. DeMuth; 

 secretary and treasurer, A. N. De Muth ; 

 manager, J. A. De Muth. 



Loqansport, Ind. — Gustav Minx, the 

 florist at the Longcliff institution, gave 

 his annual flower show Tuesday and 

 Wednesday, November 9 and 10. As Mr. 

 Minx had previously announced, the dis- 

 play of flowers was not as large as last 

 year, but more select in character, as he 

 had decided to • give his attention to a 

 comparatively few choice specimens. The 

 visitors from the city were received on 

 the afternoons of the two days, and the 

 patients attended in the evenings.

EASY TO HANDLE 



That's one good reason 

 ^^hy Capitol "Divided Sec- 

 tions " are so popular. 



A very good reason, too, 

 when you consider that this 

 means a saving of labor. 



Keep this in mind when 

 considering your new 

 boiler.

This season a new line is appearing 

 in the catalogues of those houses that 

 make an effort to list a complete line 

 of growers' supplies. The new line is 

 pipe joint compound and iron repair ce- 

 ment. The pipe joint compound makes 

 a tight joint but one that comes apart 

 easily; the iron cement stops leaks in 

 boilers and pipes. There are several 

 manufacturers of these useful articles, 

 but only one, the Alan H. Tripp Co., has 

 thus far appreciated how glad green- 

 house owners would be to know about 

 them, and as a result is getting its line 

 into all the big supply catalogues. 



LETTUCE AND CARNATIONS. 



I am figuring on erecting a range of 

 two houses, running east and west. House 

 "A," the south house, will be 18^x75 

 feet, and the south or exposed wall will 

 be four and a half feet high. House 

 "B" will be 14%x75 and seven feet 

 high to the gutters. Both houses will 

 measure eleven feet three inches to the 

 ridge. I intend to use house "A" for 

 lettuce and house "B" for carnations 

 and other flowers. 



I should like a little more light on the

lieating proposition. Will you, therefore, 

 please advise me what horse-power of 

 boiler to use; what size of pipe and 

 how arranged; what make and kind of 

 boiler to use, whether for steam or hot 

 water, and the probable cost of the. whole 

 outfit? Any information you can fur- 

 nish will be greatly appreciated. I am 

 located in northern Ohio. O. A. C. 



For a temperature of 50 degrees, which 

 will answer for lettuce and for most va- 

 rieties of carnations, about 800 square 

 feet of radiating surface will be re- 

 quired, if hot water, which will generally 

 be preferred for a range of this size^ is 

 used. It will be found most economical 

 of fuel if a boiler with a rating of 

 1,000 square feet is used. The estimate 

 is made with the understanding that 

 there is no glass in the side walls.
