has begun to operate a system of water 

 supply installed by the Kewanee Water 

 Supply Co., Kewanee, 111. It consists 

 of two electric pumps, discharging at 

 the rate of 115 gallons per minute for 



each pump. The water goes into a 

 big pneumatic tank, which maintains 

 a pressure sufficient for syringing, and 

 the pumps start automatically when- 

 ever the pressure goes below the re- 



quired point. It is understood the Am- 

 ling Co. will supply water for some of 

 the neighboring greenhouses. 



The Riverbank Co., Chicago, has been 

 incorporated, with $2,500 capital stock, 

 to do a general horticultural business. 

 The incorporators are Charles .1. O'Con- 

 nor, J. Weilby and K. Kelly. 



At Marquette park a range of ten 

 houses, each 18x100, is being erected 

 for the propagation of stock for use in 

 the south side parks. Two Kroeschell 

 hot water boilers will be installed of 

 such large capacity that it appears an 

 addition must be looked forward to.

 of Peter Knapp, barn boss for Peter 

 Reinberg, with six small children.

 for C. Kiesling & Sons. It is under- 

 stood that Mr. Garland has also been 

 doing a bit of hunting on the side, but 

 the extent of the bag is not stated. 

 This firm is also furnishing about 1,000 

 feet of its iron gutters for the new 

 greenhouses at Marquette park. 



L. Baumann & Co. report that they 

 are furnishing decorations in large 

 quantities for the land show to be held 

 at the Coliseum November 19 to Decem- 

 ber 4. Mr. Baumann stated that their 

 business this fall is considerably in ad- 

 vance of a year ago. 



A new storage and packing house 



has just been completed at Frank 



Oechslin's establishment at 4911 West
