BUILT FOR BEGINNERS 



WILKS BOILERS are ideal for the man who owns a small 

 greenhouse, who does his own firing and needs a \mler that 

 can be relied on at all times. 



WIlKS BOILERS are self-feeding. Fill the magazine with 

 fuel in the evening, and an even, continuous fire will be main- 

 tained until morning without any attention.

are built entirely of steel,

We are using one of your 20x3() Wilks heaters in a 20x50-foot irreenhouse. and it is giving excellent 

 satisfaction. Has been in constant use since 1H83 and seems to be as good as new. 



Yours truly, D. E. Bi'1(i>u;k.

inch pipe for the returns. The boiler 

 should be able to heat a greenhouse 20x 

 50 feet, for which I would use eight 

 1^-inch returns in addition to one 1%- 

 inch flow pipe. 



Of course if the radiation in the 

 present plant is insufficient, or if it is 

 80 arranged that it does not give good 

 results, it would be possible to help it 

 out by putting in a few steam pipes to 

 be used in severe weather. For that 

 purpose the boiler described would an- 

 swer for 500 lineal feet of 1 14 -inch 

 pipe, 400 feet of l^^-inch pipe, or 600 

 feet of 1-inch pipe.

The Market. 



Business is dull. The supply of out- 

 door flowers is heavy and the quality 

 is better than the average, owing to 

 the cool summer and the abundance of 

 rain. Only a small percentage of them 

 are sold. The retailers are just buying 

 about enough to make a window dis- 

 play. There are plenty of roses in the 

 market, but the returns for them are 

 small. 



Variona Notes. 



John Coombs has completed carna- 

 tion planting. He has grown his asters 

 under cloth this summer, with fine suc- 

 cess. His asters are among the best in 

 Hartford. The same plan will un- 

 doubtedly be used next season. 



Edward Welch has his place in fine 

 shape for winter. 



At the Whiting greenhouses carna- 

 tion planting is well under way. The 

 plants made a fine growth in the field 

 this summer. The roses are looking 

 well. Among the new roses being tried 

 are Hadley, Killarney Brilliant and 

 D 'Arenberg. 



Alex. Cummings, Jr., will act as 

 superintendent of the floral depart- 

 ment at the Connecticut state fair, at 

 Charter Oak park, September 7 to 12. 



The new range of A. N. Pierson, 

 Inc., is about completed and the roses 

 are all planted. W. R. Pierson escorted 

 about thirty members of the S. A. F. to 

 Cromwell, August 22. S. C. Hubbard, 

 of this firm, is sporting a new Indian 

 motorcycle. R. C. S.

Every Florist will be interested in tbe labor, fuel 

 and heat saving Qualities of the Morohoad Sya- 

 t«m. It returns the condensation to the boiler 

 at its initial heat. Thus the boilers are fed with 

 pure MOT water. Also you can keep your boilers 

 on the ground level and have porfoct circula- 

 tion and drainage. It means all this and mora to
