The " National " Differential 

 Temperature Alarm 



is a big improvement over all other existing^ thermostats — 



Because — Its sensitiveness and accuracy is produced by our 



specia^lly constructed Thermo Spring. 

 Because— This Thermo Spring is not made of steel and brass, 



which combination produces unsatisfactory results after short 



usage and becomes more unreliable continually. 

 Because — This spring Is made of the best clock spring steel, 



combined with an alloy of our own discovery, the sensitiveness 



of which is not surpassed by hard platinum. 

 Because — This instrument can be regulated to allow a difference 



of only two degrees in temperature. 

 Because— It is not affected by dampness and can be placed any- 

 where without destroying its accuracy. 

 Because -Well, we could keep giving its superior points for 



pages and not run out, but last but not least 

 Because— It costs only $6.00 f. o. b. St. Louis and it may 



save you hundreds of dollars' damage from cold or excessive 



heat, fire, etc.

are not plentiful, but are good and 

 meet with brisk demand. Sweet peas 

 are scarce as yet, but the quality is 

 good. They sell for 75 cents and $1 

 per hundred. The three largest grow- 

 ers here cannot supply the demand for 

 the holidays. A few white mums are 

 to be seen in some of the stores, but 

 they are shipped in. Home-grown mums 

 are all gone. Azaleas are plentiful, as 

 most of the growers are in time with 

 them this year. Simon Mardner takes 

 the lead in pink. Some handsome 

 Lorraines are to be seen in the win- 

 dows. Poinsettias are fine this year 

 and it looks as if there will be enough 

 to go around. 



Green and holly are plentiful and 

 there are enough Christmas trees for 

 everybody. 



Various Notes. 



J. Austin says he has the finest 

 cyclamens he ever grew and has whole- 

 saled some at $12 to $14 per dozen. 

 He also has a fine stock of Chinese 

 primroses. Business with him is splen- 

 did and he looks for a fine Christmas. 



W. L. Pattison, located in Merriam, 

 Kan., has seven acres of fertile soil 

 and one greenhouse in lettuce, one in 

 cucumbers, and one housf, 50x200, just 

 being completed. He expects to plant 

 the latter to lettuce, all in low benches 

 with cement sides. Two-inch tile will 

 be six inches under the soil, and sub- 

 watering is provided in all the houses. 

 He asserts this way of watering is the 

 best for lettuce, but not for cucum- 

 bers. He uses natural gas for fuel and 

 lights his lettuce house with gas lamps 

 all night. Merriam is ten miles south- 

 west of this city. 



Do You Know 



What goes on in your greenhouse dur- 

 ing the night, or during your absences? 

 You only tMnk jou know unless 

 you have a 



STANDARD 



RECORDING 



THERMOMETER 



Capable night firemen enjoy 

 these thermometers— they leave a 

 written record under loclc and key 

 that is the best recommenda- 

 tion any good tiremau couid have. 

 If you are your own night man, 

 find out just how the temperature 

 has varied while you slept; it has 

 been worth much money to others 

 and may be to you.
