The Florists' Review 



July 18, 1912. 



What is the Host Vital Point in Grate Construction? 



Grate makers and users agree that the most important point is to keep 

 the air spaces open as long as possible under all conditions. 

 We gfuarantee to keep the air spaces of the 



MARTIN ANTI-FRICTION ROCKING GRATE 



open longer under any conditions than can be done by any other grato 

 in existence. 



The hottest fire you can build will not warp a "Martin" and it can be 

 installed without disturbing the brick work. 



We refer to Peter Relnberg. Emll Buettner, Bassett & Washburn, Wietor Bros., Adam 

 Zender, Siuner Bros., Albeit Dickinson Co., and many others.

appointed to succeed the late J. A. Pet- 

 tigrew as superintendent of the Boston 

 park system. Mr. Shea is a genial, 

 courteous gentleman, and we all wish 

 him every success in his more respon- 

 sible position. 



H. F. Calder, of Norwood, is sending 

 in sweet peas of grand quality for mid- 

 summer to the Boston Flower Exchange. 



M. L. Tirrell has the most beautiful 

 pink form of Centaurea Cyanus we 

 have ever seen. It sells on sight in the 

 local markets. It secured a first-class 

 certificate at the recent show. 



The Boston Cut Flower Co. made a 

 fine record of wins in the retailers' 

 section at the sweet pea show. It also 

 had a fine table of sweet peas in vases. 



The fishing party from the whole- 

 sale flower markets, who journeyed 

 down the harbor, had good sport, es- 

 pecially when the long delayed and 

 eagerly looked for thunderstorm struck 

 them. However, no casualties were re- 

 ported. 



Patrick Welch was one of those who 

 came down to see and enjoy the sweet 

 pea show. He reports delightful 

 weather at Old Orchard Beach, Me. 

 William Miller, from Bastin's Island, in 

 the same state, was pleased to see a 

 number of amateur prizes go to his 

 grandchildren residing there. 



A. Leuthy figures on leaving for his 

 annual European trip early in August. 



Local seed merchants will make no- 

 table displays at next year's sweet 

 pea show. Philadelphia and New York 

 please take note. 



Peter Murray, of Fairhaven, is 

 erecting a new house for orchids. He 

 will grow mostly cattleyas, for which 

 he finds a growing call. W. N. Craig. 



Announcement is made of the in- 

 corporation of the Welch Bros. Co., 

 capital $75,000, to take over the busi- 

 ness heretofore conducted by Welch 

 Bros., partnership. The incorporators 

 are Patrick Welch, David Welch and 

 Edward J. Welch. 



N. F. McCarthy is still in the 

 Charlesbank hospital, Cambridge. Thos. 

 Cogges, New England representative 

 of McCarthy & Co., is in town this 

 week. 



Canton, O. — Albert T. Pollard came 

 to Canton last December, from Worces- 

 ter, Mass., and started in the retail 

 flower business at Christmas. He 

 says: "Things certainly have been 

 coming my way since; the many points 

 gathered from The Eeview are great 

 business getters." 



Make Your 

 Boiler an Asset, 

 Not a Liability 



A boiler costs enough so that every florist should be anxious to 

 get the most possible for his money; he should closely investigate sev- 

 eral styles before choosing. The more you investigate the more sure 

 it is that yoa'll buy the Superior Standard. It was designed spec- 

 ially for greenhouse work after a close study of what was needed. It 

 is easily cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but 

 —more flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water 

 heats quicker and hotter because the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smaller. All we ask is a chance to show you.
