THE SOIL CARRIER IN USE, 



SAVES TIME, LABOR \ MONEY 



We call your attention to our Oravlty Carriers for conveying soil into and oat of 

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

 loam in your benches. It reaulres but a few feet of our Oravity 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 2*4 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 reQulrements.

BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



H. E. Wilson has the largest range 

 of glass in this locality, totaling about 

 100,000 feet. With the exception of 

 roses and about 10,000 Enchantress car- 

 nations, the houses are devoted almost 

 entirely to the growing of plants. The 

 carnations look well. One house of over 

 12,000 feet is devoted to roses. Bride, 

 Killarney and Maid. These have done 

 well, considering that there has been 

 little sunshine. He has a nice assort- 

 ment of azaleas, cinerarias and poin- 

 settias coming on for Christmas and is 

 cutting callas. Paper Whites and val- 

 ley. One house is devoted to valley 

 and smilax. He keeps one house for 

 palms and ferns for decorations. In 

 the other houses there are rhododen- 

 drons, Lorraine begonias, azaleas, a nice 

 assortment of box and some mums. 

 There are still some good Chadwick, 

 Eaton and Moneymaker to cut. Besides 

 these houses he has about 5,000 feet in 

 Irondequoit, used for Boston and Whit- 

 mani ferns. Mr. Wilson reports a 

 Thanksgiving trade better than usual. 



Walter Salmon has gone quite exten- 

 sively into growing smilax and aspara- 

 gus. 



The harvesting of the aster seed crop 

 on the farms of James Vick's Sons 

 shows a fair return on all varieties. 



A visit to the greenhouses of Charles 

 Suhr found 5,000 feet of Enchantress 

 carnations in fine condition. Mr. Suhr 

 finds Enchantress the best all-round 

 carnation he can grow. In his bedding 

 houses he has a few mums left. He 

 found the market for them good this 

 season. The rest of these houses are 

 at present devoted mainly to primroses, 

 azaleas, Lorraine begonias and cycla- 

 mens for Christmas and Easter trade. 

 His azaleas were the first to bloom this 

 season. He has a fine strain of prim- 

 roses in the darker colors. His houses 

 looked neat and the stock thrifty. 



H. P. Neun has a large wedding dec- 

 oration this week. 



Salter Bros, report a good counter 

 trade for this season of the year. 



Geo. Boucher is showing some fine 

 White Bonnaffon mums. S. A. 



IiOUlsiana, Mo. — Andrew Dygard, who

 native of Denmark and has been en- 

 gaged in floricultural work since he was 

 14 years old.
