use them again. If you cut off the enda 

 of the sashbars they should last nearly 

 as long as new bars. 



While the use of a circulator does 

 not add to the efficiency of a boiler, 

 it may by improving the circulation 

 bring about that result, and at the 

 same time make it possible to use 

 smaller pipes in the mains and coils, 

 or to use a smaller number of pipes 

 in the coils. Just how much difference 

 it would make depends entirely upon 

 the efficiency of the present system, but 

 it would probably add from ten to 

 twenty-five per cent. 



Either locust or a good grade of 

 cypress or red cedar should be used 

 for posts, unless gas pipe posts are 

 preferred. If the concrete is brought 

 up well above the surface, so that the 

 posts will be kept dry, it will add to 

 their durability, but otherwise it may 

 hasten their decay. Some of the creo- 

 sote compounds make good wood pre- 

 servatives, but care should be taken 

 about using them too freely in green- 

 houses. 



If the joints can not be started by 

 means of heat, the pipes can be cut and 

 united by means of pipe clamps.

The Market. 



Many carnations were sold for Moth- 

 ers' day. Colored flowers moved al- 

 most as rapidly as white ones. The 

 Memorial day rush is on and local 

 florists are looking for a heavy trade, 

 as usual. Stock is in fine shape for 

 outdoor planting. Cut flowers are plen- 

 tiful and of good quality. Harrisii 

 lilies are in great evidence and form 

 a large part of the florists' store deco- 

 rations. 



Various Notes. 



Eobert L. Birnie and Louise L. 

 Osterberg were quietly married March 

 30. Mr. Birnie is a valued employee 

 of the Baur Floral Co. 



Miss Jennie Adams, formerly sales- 

 lady for the Robb Floral Co., and Fred 

 Steiner were married recently and have 

 gone on an extended eastern trip. 



Henry Baur, of the Baur Floral Co., 

 is making a record for himself in Phila- 

 delphia. He has been chosen as a 

 candidate for congress from the second 

 district on the Democratic ticket. He 

 graduated from the University of 

 Pennsylvania two years ago and was 

 afterward a teacher of oratory at 

 Swarthmore College. He is a rising 

 young attorney of Philadelphia, but 

 still retains his interest in the Baur 

 Floral Co., of this city. 



Chas. G. Offerle has improved the 

 front of his store with new signs and 

 a new coat of paint. 



J. V. Laver furnished the elaborate 

 decorations at St. John's Lutheran 

 church, April 21, for the installation of 

 Sisters Frieda and Margaret of the 

 Mary Drexel Home of Philadelphia,

 Lutheran Home for the Aged in Erie.

Artsfone Flower Vases 



These Artstone Flower Vases do not, like Iron vases, 

 become 6o hot in midsummer as to burn the plants. Artstone 

 is indestructible from exposure to the elements, while iron, 

 angular and grim, soon rusts, and marble gradually discolors 

 and dtcays. To display flowers in unsightly wooden pails, tin 

 tuba, or the like, is an incongruous spectacle, which, except in 

 case of inability to procure suitable receptacles for them, be- 

 trays the utter absence of artistic taste. Flowers, like gems, 

 require appropriate settings. The superb artistic beauty of 

 these creations attracts universal admiration and lends a touch 

 of quiet elegance, of distinction, of refinement and culture to 

 the surroundings They serve to enhance the beauty of the 

 lawn, the porch, the hall or the garden wonderfully. Popular 

 also for cemetery decoration.
