William B. Hazard has had a much 

 larger volume of business since opening 

 his store on Matthewson street. 



William Crompton, of East Green 

 wich, had a large wedding decoration 

 for October 15, in which lily of the 

 valley, Richmond roses and yellow 

 chrysanthemums predominated. 



George H. Webb has been elected 

 chairman and John J. Dunn secretary 

 of the state conservation commission re- 

 cently appointed by the General Assem- 

 bly. One of the first things that the 

 commission will take up will be the 

 survey of the natural resources of the 

 state and also the work of tabulating 

 the abandoned farms, which the state 

 board of agriculture has been working 

 upon for about a year. W. H. M. 



KINGSTON, N. Y. 



Not to be outdone by the ambitious 

 city across the Hudson, Valentine Bur- 

 gevin's Sons are holding a flower show 

 of their own. The store downtown is a 

 creation of yellow crotons and mums, 

 and the show house is filled with pot- 

 grown mums, ranging from plants in 

 .5-inch to those in 10-inch pots. 



The Burgevins' new rose house, 56x 

 135, is paying for itself with a return 

 of 1,000 blooms per day. The new 

 propagating house, 10x176, is being 

 filled with 20,000 geranium cuttings. 

 The valley house is planted with gar- 

 denias and bouvardia, all a picture of 

 health. There is no frost at time of 

 writing to destroy the gorgeous display 

 of color in the beds surrounding this 

 unique establishment. 



William Williams is doing some re- 

 building, and is arranging a show house 

 fronting the street, with concrete walls 

 and benches. He has built up a good 

 business, handling birds and goldfish as 

 a side issue. Birds and flowers har

Sit Down a Ninute 

 and Let's Talk it Over 



Several years ago, when we l)egan to 

 haininer hard for the commercial man to get 

 away from the all-wood house and build our 

 Iron Frame House, you and your neighbor 

 and the Village Whittler said we were "clean 

 daffy." You declared that "such houses were 

 all right for the private man with a mint of 

 money, but never, no never would they be 

 practical for the commercial grower." Did 

 our smile come off. or did we say, "All right 

 then, let's forget it" ? Not for a minute! We 

 kntiw we had the right idea, and that, sooner 

 or later you wise men would recognize its 

 worth. 



A few years flew by. and Alexander 

 Montgomery. F. R. & P. M. Pierson, J. A. 

 Budlong, and a few such men were buying 

 our Iron Frame Houses— big ones too, for 

 those times— big as 40 feet wide and even 700 

 feet long. Daring men those ! 



Another few years passed and a good 

 many at last grudgingly admitted that woo<i 

 houses mast have the go-by, but still they 



gave in only half way and compromised mat- 

 ters by building our Semi-Iron Houses. 



But there's no use trying to block the 

 progress of a rlgbt Idea, it just won't be 

 blocked. Look what has happened. By far 

 the greater number of the houses being put 

 up by the growers today, are Iron Frame. 

 Why? Himply because it is the dependable 

 construction— the construction that's 

 lightest— the construction that endures. 



So ever and always will Lord it Burnham 

 Co.'s name be linked with the success of the 

 Sectional Iron Frame House — we are its 

 originators. 



If then, we" built the first Iron Frame 

 House, and have kept on building and im- 

 proving them all these years, who ought now 

 to know best, the best materials to go into 

 them, and the best way of constructing them? 

 There is only one logical answer, and you 

 will be the first to give it. Having given it, 

 when will you be ready to have us estimate? 



P. S. Here's a thought— if you place your 

 order for a house now, to be delivered next 

 spring, thereby helping us to keep our factory 

 wheels humming through the winter, it will 

 lessen the cost all round to us. and we will 

 give you the benetlt of the saving. 



P. 8. P. S. Peter Henderson, the seeds- 

 man, was the first to build our Commercial 

 Iron Frame Houses.

U a perplexing qnestlon to all florists EXCEPT those oslng 



MOREHEAD STEAM TRAPS 



The installation of a Morehead Return Steam Trap in a 

 Greenhouse is absolute evidence of progressiveness on the 

 part of the florist. 



^ It is further evidence of good management, for the " More- 

 ^ hea<l " is an investment m both .satisfaction and economy. 



The majority of florists are using Morehead Traps. If you 



are one of the exceptions, it will be to your 



interest to write us — we will make you a 



liberal trial ofler proposition.
