THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE. 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Gravity Carriers for conveying soil into and out of 

 greenhouses. You are aware of the great amount of labor necessary for changing the 

 loam in your benches. It requires but a few feet of our Gravity Carriers to reduce 

 this expense. 



Carriers are made in eight and four foot sections, which can be instantly Joined ; 

 the rollers are of the best seamless steel tubing, ball bearing, and are 14 inches in length 

 by 2H inches in diameter. Cut shows how they operate. 



A run of carrier is set up with one end projecting through a window and a cart 

 containing the loam is placed at this end. The loam is shoveled into the boxes, which 

 are pushed or conveyed by gravity into the house and dumped into the benches. Empty 

 boxes are pushed back to cart over same run of carrier. When the beds within a con- 

 venient radius are filled, the carrier is set up at another window and the work contin- 

 ues until all benches are filled. For removing soil the process is, of course, similar. 



We shall be pleased to furnish further details relative to construction and dura- 

 bility of the carriers: also, upon receipt of information relative to size of your green- 

 houses, furnish an estimate of the cost of a system for your requirements.

The Market. 



Business last week was fully as good 

 aa for the week previous, and the 

 opening days for this week were rush- 

 ing. The weather, which is ideal, un- 

 doubtedly helps stimulate trade to some 

 extent, although social functions have 

 been the order of the day for a fort- 

 night. In commenting on the supply 

 of cut flowers for Thanksgiving, from 

 all appearances, if the weather stays 

 bright and the nights cold, the supply 

 in all lines will come up to the demand, 

 no matter how brisk that may be. The 

 quality, too, will be fine. 



Various Notes. 



With the A. F. Kellner Co. it never 

 rains but it pours. All are busy as 

 bees trying to finish up outside plant- 

 ing and other outdoor work, but a good 

 demand for interior decorations is 

 claiming considerable time. 



J. M. Fox & Son are working on the 

 details for the decorations for the an- 

 nual Charity Ball, to take place Decem- 

 ber 3 at the Auditorium. This is one 

 of the main social functions of the sea- 

 son, and creates a good demand for cut 

 flowers and decorative stock. 



From the M. A. McKenney Co. comes 

 the report of a busy week. It is 

 claimed that the firm has had its share 

 of business for the season thus far. 



As no one has heard from either Mr. 

 or Mrs. C. C. Pollworth, who are on 

 their annual hunting trip, they must 

 be having the time of their lives. They 

 were expected back Tuesdav, Novem- 

 ber 19. 



Fred Holton, of the Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., could not break away from St. 

 Paul till two days after the flower 

 show. He reports a fine exhibition and 

 the hospitality still finer. 



Mrs. J. T. Hinchliff and Mrs. Miller, 

 both of Bacine, Wis., were up last week 

 to take up the matter of their Thanks- 

 giving supply. 



A. Reinhard, of North Milwaukee, 

 successor to A. Groth, is cutting carna- 

 tions and Bonnaffons which are of fine 

 quality. The place never looked better. 



E. O. 



The Holton & Hunkel Greenhouse Co. 

 has increased its capital from $50,000 

 to $125,000. 



Fekin, lU. — William Schantz has 

 completed his new greenhouse and has 

 stocked it with lettuce and carnations. 



For Ornamentalness 

 No Greenhouse Equals the U-Bar 



At a glance that's apparent. The reason is 

 the U-bar. To put it another way: you can 

 put a gold-plated harness on a heavy draft 

 horse and hitch him to a swell little runabout 

 —but with all his trappings he ambles along 

 draft-horse fashion just the same. So, by the 

 ThitittheU-Bar same token, putting a curved eave on a green- 

 ma k'efu'-fi'ar ho^s® •iocs not make it a U-Bar curved eave 

 Greenhouse's the house. A U-Bar house is distinctly different, 

 famous green- and it's the U-Bar that makes it so. Send for 

 house, they are. ^^^ catalogue and find out just why.
