The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Sbptembbb 1, 1914. 



MAYWOOD, ILL. 



Th« A. F. Amling Co. has just com- 

 pleted its new water reservoir, which 

 will catch all condensation and rain 

 from the greenhouse roofs. It is built 

 entirely of concrete and is 130 feet 

 long, thirty feet wide and fourteen feet 

 deep. Two triplex pumps, with a pump- 

 ing capacity of 250 gallons per minute, 

 are now being installed. They will be 

 operated by electricity under automatic 

 control, 80 as to maintain a constant 

 pressure of eighty pounds. These are 

 connected to a steel tank, 8x28 feet. 

 The entire machinery is furnished by 

 the Kewanee Water Supply Co. 



On September 14 will occur the wed- 

 ding of Ernst C. Amling, son of A. F. 

 Araling, and Miss Lydia Hinz, of She- 

 boygan, Wis. The Amling family will 

 make the trip per automobile. 



A fine crop of Crego asters, green- 

 house grown, is coming along at the 

 Amling place. Some have stems three 

 feet long, with flowers as large as 

 mums. About half of the place is this 

 year given to Beauties, the first cut of 

 which is just coming in. Half of the 

 Beauty plants are 2-year-oId trans- 

 planted stock, the balance young stock, 

 but all look the picture of health. 



ELLSWOSTH, ME. 



liias Ji. A. Clark is the only retail 

 florist in this pretty Maine town, 

 located some twenty-five miles from 

 Bar Harbor on the mainland and almost 

 adjoining the tracks of the Maine Cen- 

 tral railroad, running between Bangor 

 and Mount Desert Ferry. Miss Clark 

 has built up an excellent and lucrative 

 business here and gladly gives credit 

 to The Review for much of the knowl- 

 edge she possesses. 



Carnations in the field were looking 

 well. There were splendid batches of 

 all the best asters, dahlias, geraniums, 

 sweet peas, ten weeks' stocks and a 

 variety of other flowers for cutting. 

 Vegetables are also grown to some ex- 

 tent. There are several greenhouses, 

 which are devoted to carnations, chrys- 

 anthemums, tomatoes, smilax, aspara- 

 gus, etc. 



Something of surprise w.ns afforded us 

 when we came across.^ batch of some 

 300 pieces of newly imported Mexican 

 orchids, including La^lia autumnalis, 

 oneidiums, odontoglossums, etc., all 

 starting nicely. We were pleased to 

 see a lady conducting this business so 

 •ueeessfully. Miss Clark has grit as 

 well as excellent business sense and ri 

 good knowledge of floriculture.

Our Curved Eave 



And 



Its Construction 



Just the thing for florists' show houses. 



Yoii can readily see that some kind of 

 metal reinforcement shou^'of necessity 

 be used at the curve of the eave, else the 

 joining of tlie curved and^straight por- 

 tions of the glazing bars could never be 

 accomplished so as to be either enduring 

 or free from glass breakage. 



Our construction department has 

 worked out a combination clamp-joint- 

 binder-reinforcement of cast iron, that 

 makes an eave of absolute rigidity and 

 with joints sealed from the weather. It is 

 light in effect and at once appeals to one 

 as a common sense sort of construction. 



So much for the eave ; then comes the 

 sill and gutter; we cast them togetlier in 

 one piece, making a decidedly neater job 

 and structurally better in every way. 



Aside from these structural points, our 

 Curved Eave Houses are built with the 

 same framing used in our Standard Sec- 

 tional Iron Frame Houses. One thing is 

 certain ; when you buy our Curved Eave 

 House there need not be the least doubt 

 in your mind as to its practicalness or 

 durability. 



Send for the Advancfc Sheets from our 

 new catalogue ; they contain a color illus- 

 tration of a Curved Eave subject and 

 some mighty interesting reading.
