When one buys a boiler he actually buys the rating of the boiler. One boiler will be rated for 10,000 feet and another boiler rated at 11,000 feet. If both boilers are rated accurately on the proper test the boiler that has the 11,000 feet rating is worth more money than the other.

KNOXVILLE, TENN. The Market. The recent weather has been rather peculiar; there has been a great deal of snow and rain, although it has not been extremely cold. Roses are still off crop. Carnations, however, are plen- tiful. All bulbous stock is plentiful and outdoor jonquils are coming into the market in large quantities. Club Meeting. The Knoxville Florists' Society met Tuesday evening, March 3, at Chas. L. Baum's store at 317 West Clinch street, with a large attendance. The state or- ganization and the chrysanthemum show for next fall were both discussed. Professor C. A. Keffer, of the horticul- ture and forestry department of the University of Tennessee, and Professor G. M, Bentley, state entomologist and plant pathologist, were present and gave interesting talks. Applications for membership were received from both of these, and also from Dale Mayo and George Ketchin, both with D. R. Mayo, and F. W. Allen, superintendent of Old Gray cemetery. Various Notes. Chas. L. Baum reports business for the last two weeks of February the largest ever experienced outside of holi- day trade, having had work for twenty- eight funerals in five days. Carnations are still the long suit here—2,500 a day are being cut. There has been a run on potted hyacinths and tulips, which were never better. Wholesale ship- ments to the south have been heavy of late.
