ers air balance system. It is a simple 

 device, designed to maintain an even 

 temperature in the greenhouse heated 

 by hot water under pressure. It is 

 especially adapted to meet the needs of 

 the florist or gardener who does not em- 

 ploy a night fireman. The system is 

 somewhat similar to the automatic 

 steam regulator. It is intended for a 

 pressure of not more than ten pounds, 

 and will undoubtedly save fuel, as the 

 draught is checked when the tempera- 

 ture reaches the desired point. The 

 company is the agent fo? the device, 

 which has been patented. 



The Event of the Week. 



Growers will be especially interested 

 in the purchase of the tract of land, 



greenhouses and dwelling lying near 

 Churchville, Holland Station, Bucks 

 county, by Fred Sheuzsky from Charles 

 E. Meehan. The plant was purchased 

 about ten years ago by Mr. Meehan; 

 the previous owner, who had built the 

 greenhouses, had been frozen out. The 

 farm consisted of about fifty acres of 

 ground. There were, I think, four 

 greenhouses, each about 20x100 feet. 

 To these Mr. Meehan added one large 

 King house, a peony field, some lilacs 

 and other improvements. The increase 

 in his responsibilities, caused by the 

 rapid strides made by the S. S. Pen- 

 nock-Meehan Co., made Mr. Meehan 

 wish to part with his property at Hol- 

 land, to which he could not devote his 

 time. Mr. Sheuzsky was formerly 



salesman for the Bobert Craig Co. and 

 for the last few years manager of the 

 Collingdale Greenhouses. His friends 

 wish him success in his new under- 

 taking. 



Mr. Bosnosky's Paper. 



Israel Eosnosky read a paper before 

 the September meeting of the Florists' 

 Club on "The Convention from a 

 Seedsman's Standpoint." Mr. Eosnosky 

 attacked the tariflE of charges in detail, 

 pointing out that they were too high. 

 He pointed out with the skill of the 

 trained business man accustomed to de- 

 tecting the weakness in the enemy's 

 trenches that such charges would drive 

 away the seedsmen. He dwelt sorrow-
