The Florists' Review

What We Say: 



Wilks Boilers are ideal for the man who 

 owns a small greenhouse, who does his 

 own fixing and needs a boiler that can 

 be relied on at all times. 



Wllks Boilers are self -feeding. Fill the 

 magazine with fuel in the evening and 

 an even, continuous fire will be main- 

 tained until morning without any atten- 

 tion. . , - 



Wilks Boilers will heat as much as 3,000 

 square feet of glass to 65 degrees in 

 zero weather. They are made of the 

 best quality of steel, strongly riveted 

 and calked, with no cast-iron sections 



Vo crack.

Our Catalogue is yours for the asking. 

 It tells all about our heaters, shows 

 their economy, and gives a plan for 

 heating a model greenhouse.

Dear Sirs: — I am so well pleased with 

 the self-feeding boiler I bought of you 

 last Fall that I feel it is my duty to tell 

 you so. It is heating 400 ft. of 2-inch 

 pipe O. K. I have had the time, also 

 the zero weather, to give it a good test 

 and it proved all you claim for it. I 

 did not lose a minute's sleep this Win- 

 ter so far. I fill up the magazine about 

 9 o'clock in the evening and never look 

 after it till 5 or 6 o'clock next morning 

 and always find the fire in good shape. 

 Yours truly, 

 EDWIN F. CAMPBELL.

 council November 5. 



The high wind November 6 raised 

 the roof of the new house being com-

 help of neighbors, fastened the roof 

 with ropes and the damage was con- 

 fined to a small amount.

 Sons, has been nursing a badly strained 

 knee. 



Charles Hunt received a large ship- 

 ment of palms from Europe last week.
