The Weekly Florists' Review. 



September 29, 1910. 



' NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The eighth annual exhibition of the 

 New Bedford Horticultural Society was 

 held in Odd Fellows' hall September 15 

 to 17, and was a great success in every 

 way. Among the many beautiful dis- 

 plays, the gladioli and palms by Peter 

 Murray, of Fairhaven, deserve special 

 mention. Another exceptionally fine 

 display was that by Eichard Parkinson, 

 219 Shawmut avenue, consisting of 275 

 dahlia blooms in great variety. Mr. 

 Parkinson also made a splendid show- 

 ing in the big exhibit of 100 distinct 

 blooms, but on account of a mistake 

 in having two flowers alike there was 

 no alternative but to disqualify his ex- 

 hibit. W. D. Hathaway secured the 

 first prize.

 has returned from an auto trip to Chi- 

 cago, coming back via Rochester. It 

 was his first trip in several years to 

 the western metropolis, and the sights 

 he saw and the wonderful progress 

 made during that time were most inter- 

 esting to him.

Cross Section of a Sunuoht Double Glass Sash on a Sunligh« Frame 



Here is the sash you 



don't have to cover 



Two layers of glass instead of one. A ^ inch layer of dry, still air between— a 

 perfect uon-conductor-a transparent blanket-takes the place of mats and boards. 



The saving in time and labor 



Snnlisrht Double Glass Sash will pay for 

 themselves in a single season. They never 

 need coverinsr — and theiefore save half the 

 time yoo have to irive to singrle glass sash in 

 coverintrand uncovering — in watching them 

 on frosty nights. 



Earlier, Stockier Plants 



Under Sunlight Double Glass Sash the 

 plants get all the light ail the time. Ererr 

 grower will see at once the value of the 

 earlier, stockier plants resulting. Your crops 

 will mature weeks ahead of the grower's who 

 uses single glass sash — a.nA youivill eet the 

 benefit of the high prices in the early market. 



Here is What One Florist Says : 



"The 100 sash which I bought of you have given 

 greatest possible satisfaction. We got to 4 degrees 

 above zero and I found my flowers untouched. 



Moreover, I am daily making 26 per cent more 

 than others who have greenhouses. My double 

 glass sash will pay for themselves ihe first year.
