Co., spent last week fishing at Fox lake 

 and will try his luck at Kewaskum lake 

 this week. Several of his friends were 

 surprised with gifts of some of his Fox 

 lake water food. 



Manke Bros., of North Milwaukee, 

 had their three new houses, erected this 

 season, planted to Enchantress, Lawson 

 and Beacon carnations by July 23. It 

 was all field-grown stock, and the 

 plants, though in a healthy condition, 

 are not quite as large as they might be, 

 owing to the unfavorable growing con- 

 ditions. 



Arrangements for the annual picnic 

 of the Milwaukee Florists' Club are 

 now being worked out by the entertain- 

 ment committee. It is intended to have 

 a private basket picnic for florists and 

 their friends. The time and place will 

 be announced at next week 's club meet- 

 ing, August 4, when all members ought 

 to be on hand. 



Tim Matchen, head of the Peter 

 Reinberg store force, of Chicago, spent 

 Ijlst Sunday in our midst. Other visitors 

 were Mr. Miller and John Benstead, of 

 Racine, "Wis. E. O. 



Palmyra, N. J. — F. R. Matsinger, 

 florist at this place, is president of the 

 1'. R. Matsinger Remedy Co., manu- 

 facturers of Old-Fashioned Salve. 



Bloomsburg, Pa. — The D. W. Davis 

 greenhouses, which were established in 

 1906, contain about 26,000 square feet 

 of glass. The offices and shipping 

 rooms are large and well equipped. Mr. 

 Davis has spent fifteen years in the 

 trade and is well versed in all its de- 

 tails. 



Berwick, Pa. — The greenhouses of 

 John A. Smethers & Son, which cover 

 about 11,000 square feet of space, were 

 built by the senior partner in 1888. A 

 few years ago he associated with him 

 his son, M. K. Smethers. They grow 

 both flowers and vegetables, for both 

 the wholesale and the retail trade.

Heating Systems 



The Different Types We Make and Install 



D 



F you have an impression that 

 we are weilded to any one 

 system for lieating, dispel 

 the thought at once, for we 

 are prepared to install any system 

 you want. Our heating department 

 has developed at a remarkable rate 

 in the last few 

 years, because it has 

 been under the di- 

 rection of heating 

 engineers who 

 thoroughly know 

 their business ; men 

 who appreciate the 

 very vital difference 

 between a beautiful 

 theory and the 

 practical dollar and 

 cents side of it. 



The Types. Up 

 to the present time 

 we have installed three distinct 

 types of hot water heating: Grav- 

 ity, Part (Jravnty and the Forced 

 Circulation System, where the water 

 is returned to the boiler by a pump. 

 Where steam power is not available 

 for returning water to the boiler, 

 we use a powerful little pump that 

 can be run by either kerosene or 

 gaf^oline. 



The Burnham Cast Iron Sec- 

 tional Boiler is a greenhouse boiler 

 made especially for greenhouse 

 work. 



One of our recent jobs is tli,' 

 forced circulation system put in f(ir 

 Robert Craig & Sons, where a cen- 

 trifugal steam pump is used to ro- 

 tnm the water to the boilers, whicli 

 are set on the level of the green- 

 house. Another very interestiiiir 

 feature is the forceil 

 draft arrangement, 

 that enables them 

 to burn cheap fuel. 

 As for steam, 

 there is the Gravity 

 System a^ain, and 

 its opposite, when' 

 the water has to ) )t> 

 returned to the 

 boiler by a pump 

 or trap. 



For any one of 

 these types we are 

 prepared to furnish 

 the equipment, or to install them 

 complete, as you wish. If you 

 have some ideas of your own that 

 you want to talk over, let's get 

 together and thresh them out. AVe 

 may have just the system for your 

 particular needs, and we will l)i' 

 only too glad to give you every 

 aslsistance to make it a success. 

 Let us hear from you.
