also here with the Breen and Kennedy 

 team and made some good scores. 



A. C. Brown, of Springfield, 111., was 

 a caller last week. Mr. Brown is a 

 shipper to this market, and reports 

 stock scarce the last two weeks. 



Mike Mitchell, a few years back in 

 business at Little Bock, Ark., has pur- 

 chased the business of John Quinn at 

 1000 North Grand avenue from W. C. 

 Smith, who had it for sale. Mr. Mitchell 

 and his wife will run the place. Mrs. 

 Mitchell is said to be one of the best 

 designers in the floral art in the south. 



E. W. Guy, of Belleville, was over 

 last week and reports good trade in 

 Belleville among the florists. Mr. Guy 

 is chairman of the trustees of the 

 Florists' Club, and says he will call a 

 meeting of the officers this week and lay 

 plans for an interesting club meeting. 



The midwinter graduating classes of 

 the public schools last week caused 

 quite a run for stock at all the whole- 

 sale houses, causing it to be somewhat 

 scarce and high in price. J. J. B. 



ANOTHES STYLE OF HOUSE. 



Ludwig Stapp, at Bock Island, 111., is 

 putting up three houses, each 32x300 feet, 

 employing a combination iron frame and 

 truss construction designed by the John 

 C. Moninger Co., Chicago, who say con- 

 tracts have been received for about 250,- 

 000 square feet of glass to be built this 

 spring with this construction. The 

 framework is made up with angle iron 

 rafters placed eight feet four inches 

 apart, and these rafters are fastened to 

 the gutter posts with wrought steel col- 

 lars, so that the iron frame is entirely 

 independent of the gutter or the roof 

 woodwork. Where the iron rafters meet 

 at the ridge a wrought steel plate is 

 used to connect them and in this way all 

 parts are firmly joined. The result is a 

 strong and rigid iron frame over which 

 the sashbars, gutters and roof are laid. 

 In addition to the iron rafters, truss rods 

 are used with wrought steel struts. The 

 Moninger Co. has installed several new 

 machines for manufacturing this type of 

 construction and is confident the new 

 house will be largely used in commercial 

 construction. Jobs now in course of 

 erection, besides the one for Mr. Stapp, 

 include two houses 27x110 for W. H. 

 Kneer, Peoria, HI.; three houses 28x214 

 for Holton & Hunkel Co., Milwaukee, 

 Wis; two for the Northern Hospital for 

 the Insane, Madison, Wis., and one house 

 28x100 for Toledo State Hospital, 

 Toledo, O.

A Parallel Proposition 



A house 200 feet long on private grounds looks too commercial, 

 but two 100-foot houses built parallel fashion like these, and you 

 have an attractive, compact proposition. However, it is just as 

 you say— "the way a house is {Manned depends pretty much on 

 where it is to be located," and for what it is to be used. 



Now that you mention the question of locations, we want you 

 to have our catalogue— and see some of the different stunts we 

 have accomplished in locating. Many of them were tough nuts to 

 crack and the catalogue tells how we cracked them. Want the 

 catalogue ?

The Wind Can't "Play Hob" With 

 Our Iron Frame Houses 



Let it whistle and howl all it wants to. It won't budge the house an inch, he- 

 cause the frame won't give an inch— it won't break an inch of glass. No complicated 

 trussing. Just a full st^el frame built to stand, by greenhouse builders of the highest 

 standing. Get one! Stop lying awake and worrying on windy nights. Write us.
