two boilers so that I can use either 

 one? C. A. S, 



;With the twc boilers mentioned, there 

 should be no difficulty about heating 

 tie two greenhouses, but it would prob- 

 ably overtax the boilers to heat the 

 extension proposed for the smaller 

 house. The supply pipe for the 40-foot 

 house, after it is extended to 260 feet, 

 abould be 2%-inch. 



To connect the boilers so that either 

 one could be used for heating both 

 houses, place them side by side, if pos- 

 sible, and connect the steam pipes a t 

 foot or BO above the boilers by meaus 

 of a 2%-ineh steam main which would 

 run in both directions to the green- 

 houses. The drip pipes from the houses 

 should be connected in much the same 

 manner. There should be a valve on 

 both flows and returns between the 

 boilers and the mains. 



DENVER. 



The Market. 



The dullest period so far this season 

 has been experienced during the last 

 two weeks. There is almost nothing 

 doing, though each store manages to 

 s«ll a few dollars' worth each day, 

 mostly in funeral work. 



Sweet peas are plentiful, but they are 

 about the only flowers that are in over- 

 supply. It is true that there are a great 

 oiany roses, but in most instances they 

 are so poor, being covered with mildew, 

 that it is impossible to sell them, even 

 when they are offered at retail at 50 

 c^nts a dozen. Carnations are still 

 scarce, and there are only a few Beau- 

 ties. Asters and dahlias have made 

 their appearance. 



Various Notes. 



The recent flood damaged the stock 

 of the Barteldes Seed Co. to the extent 

 of $10,000. In the basement of their 

 warehouse the water was several feet 

 deep. The sidewalk ih front of the 

 building occupied by the Curtis Park 

 Floral Co. caved in and allowed the 

 water to run into the basement to a 

 depth of six feet. 



T. D. Long, of the Elitch-Lon^ Green- 

 houses, has been appointed a member 

 of the board of park commissioners. 



The Misses Hilda and Delia Qustaf- 

 son have been busy preparing for a 

 trip east. They expect to be away all 

 of the month of August and will visit 

 friends in Buffalo, New York, Washing- 

 ton, and at several other points. 



The Denver Wholesale Florists Co. 

 has been fortunate in securing N. A. 

 Benson as a stockholder and consignor, 

 and will now handle all of the cut flow- 

 ers grown by him. This stock, in addi- 

 tion to that grown by Fred Hall and 

 C. F. Maler, whose entire cut is han- 

 dled by this concern, and several other 

 smaller growers who find it convenient 

 and satisfactory to deal with a commis- 

 sion house, will give this company the 

 larger part of the cut flower stock 

 brought into this market, and ' conse- 

 quently will enable it to take the best 

 of care of all its customers. 



The cut flower schedule for the flow- 

 er show to be held in the Auditorium 

 in November is now ready. Copies may 

 be had by addressing the chairman, J. 

 A. Valentine, Box 700, Denver, Colo. 



Charles McOord and Hugo N«ff, of the 

 Park Floral Co., and R. Schilling, of 

 Daniels & Fisher Stores Co., spent the 



Make Your 

 Boiler an Asset, 

 Not a Liability 



A boiler costa 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 you'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.
