carnation is in magnificent form this 

 season, and letters from far-off New- 

 foundland testify to the excellent car- 

 rying qualities of carnations in general.

On Friday, December 1, a well at-

 teresting matters were discussed. 



The committee on the spring show re-

 mittee reported on the financial result 

 of the last fall show. It was voted to 

 pay a deficit of $83.80 from the so- 

 ciety's funds.

 W. A. Murray, F, Smith and W, Muir, 

 were elected; also one associate mem- 

 ber, W. Butts Two nominations for 

 membership were received.

 any variety, and E. Cochrane was 

 awarded first, with splendid blooms of 

 ^Enchantress, White Enchantress and 

 Dorothy Gordon. Messrs. Macdonald 

 and Kinney received cultural certifi- 

 cates. 



The Julius Eoehrs Go., of Eutherford, 

 N. J., exhibited a new begonia, La 

 Patrie, and a certificate of merit was 

 awarded, its handsome, glossy foliage 

 being much admired. H. M. B. 



Long Branch, N. J.— K. M. Van Gel- 

 deren, proprietor of the Evergreen Nur- 

 series, started business here two years 

 ago with one greenhouse and the re- 

 turns were so satisfactory that he de- 

 cided to build another house this sea- 

 son. The new house was completed in 

 time for the Thanksgiving trade.

Avoid a Freeze-up 



The f udden cold wave that Bwept the 

 country NoTember 12 brought heavy 

 lo88 to many florists who bad no warn- 

 ing. This •tandard Thermohtat, If 

 placed In your houses, will save yonr 

 stock from a similar freeze-up If you 

 should be caught un twares. It Is also 

 an excellent fire alarm. The Indicating 

 hand shows the actual temperature at 

 all times. When It reaches either of the 

 other hands, which can be set for any 

 variation you desire, it 



RINGS AN ALARM 



anywhere you please to locate the bell.. 

 You are thus protected against both ex- 

 cess cold and excess heat, and when the 

 temperature In your hrusfs becomes 

 dangerous you are Immediately tu tlfled. 

 Anybody can put it up — < nly a screw- 

 driver nteded— and full directions with 

 each instrument. 



Style I, diameter 6 Inches, 

 price, $5.00 each. 



This Is the cheapest of all crop 

 insnrancr. Tou can't afford to 

 be without it this winter.

and less water space than 

 is contained in any other 

 boiler. (Note the many 

 flues set close together.) 

 This is one reason why 

 the users of the 



'"Superior Standard" (ireenhouse Boflers 



find them perfectly satisfactory. We frequently receive re-orders 

 from florists who have tested these boilers thoroughly and found 

 them even " Superior" to our claims. 



Why not ask for foil particnlan today? A postal to ns will bring a prompt reply.

are all satisfied with the results it has given, and many 

 duplicate orders is the proof. Tbia Valve \7lU main- 

 taia a steady pressure on the low side, no matter 

 how the initial pressure fluctuates. By carrying 40 or 50 

 pounds pressure on the boiler and setting the valve to 

 carry 5 or 10 pounds on the line, you always have a 

 reserve to fall back on in case of a sudden drop In tem- 

 perature. Our new^ oataloKue Is Just out and if 

 you contemplate making any cuanges you had better 

 get one— it is yours for the asking.
