 week. 



Leroy Smith, vice-president of the 

 J. F. Ammann Co., Edwardsville, 111., 

 surprised his many friends in the trade

 ket. John Himmer, Jr., has charge of 

 the place. 



The Engelmann Botanical Club held 

 its regular monthly meeting on Monday 

 evening, November 11, in the lecture 

 room of the Missouri Bot-anic Garden. 



Wasted bench space in greenhouses is the direct 

 cause of thousands of dollars loss annually in the florist 

 business. Even wasted space under benches is a serious 

 loss to most growers. The man who can produce the 

 largest crops per annum in a given space is the best 

 grower — the most profitable grower to employ. Keep 

 your greenhouse space, from the top of the benches 

 down, constantly in use — use it for something. The 

 writer know^s a man in Montreal who even operates a 

 cellar under his houses, where are produced mushrooms, 

 etc., utilizing the same greenhouse heat. He knows the 

 real value of greenhouse space, and is able to produce 

 double the quantity that most growers handle in the 

 same space and time. A journey through this man's 

 place would be an eye-opener to many florists. Cold 

 Storage Giganteum is an excellent article to fill in with 

 — you can put them underneath the benches for a con- 

 siderable time, then bring them on, one crop after 

 another, all through the year. Lilies can be used 

 profitably for many purposes and Horseshoe Brand 

 Giganteum are dependable. Try them — you could not 

 make a better investment. Write now\
