Use The Owen Compressed Air 

 Spraying System — Save Money 



The Owen system embodies a central plant in which is 

 installed an air compressor driven by a gasoline or steam 

 engine. Two heavily galvanized, high pressure steel tanks are 

 also provided complete with valves, fixtures, etc. The tanks are 

 mounted on a suitable platform which can be placed on any 

 ordinary farm wagon. When spraying, one tank is filled with about 

 200 lbs. of compressed air and the other with the spraying liquid. 

 The tanks are filled at the central station at the same time. 



The Owen Compressed 



Air Spraying System 



provides an even, steady pressure at all times. The spraying mixture Is 

 kept thoroughly agitatecf by an air agitator. One man with one set of tanks 

 can thoroughly apply 1200 gallons of mixture per day. With two rigs, one 

 man can apply 2000 gallons per day. There is no complicated machinery- 

 no pump cylinders coming in contact with the liquid — no engine to be 

 hauled around courting trouble. It's the most simple, most satisfac- 

 tory spraying system ever devised. 



When not used for spraying, the engine can be used for any 

 other purpose and the compressor will furnish air for pneu- 

 matic water systems, eto.

 wards acted as district representative

Ontario Hose Society 



The annual meeting of the Rose Society 

 of Ontario was, held in Toronto, February 

 16th, with E. T. Cook, vice-president of the 

 Canadian Rose Society, in the chair. The 

 officers' reports showed that the society had 

 made encouraging progress. Not only had 

 the membership been extended, but the 

 financial position of the society had been 

 placed on a sound basis by contributions, 

 not only from members, but from others 

 interested in rose growing in Ontario. 



The president spoke of the enthusiasm of 

 the members. Their efforts had shown their 

 determination to make the rose the flower 

 of Ontario. The society, he said, was 

 rapidly attaining one of its greatest objects, 

 which was to have as large a number of 

 affiliated societies as possible. Mr. J. T. 

 Moore, of Moore Park, he said, had help- 

 ed the society greatly by his influence and 

 financial support. It was seldom that any 

 society had secured and retained so much 

 real support as the Rose Society of On- 

 tario had. Three large rose shows were 

 planned to be held this year. 



Ottawa Flower Guild 



The Y.W.C.A. was filled with happy chil- 

 dren, Saturday afternoon, February 14, 

 bringing their bulbs and plants to the 

 sixth bulb exhibition of the Ottawa Child- 

 ren's Flower Guild. The affair was entire- 

 ly informal, and as cards had been sent 

 only to the one hundred and twenty children 

 to whom bulbs and plants had been given 

 last November, a great many of the children 

 were absent. The hall was crowded, many 

 parents and friends being present. Mr. W. 

 T. Macoun was judge. The result of the 

 children's work was surprising to every one, 

 the majority of the plants being fit for any 

 florist's window. Mr. R. B. Whyte, the 

 president, presided. 



Mr. W. T. Macoun expressed his surprise 

 at finding that the children under twelve 

 years of age far surpassed the elder mem- 

 iDers of the Flower Guild. He had found it 

 exceedingly hard work to decide which were 

 the best plants, so keen was the competi- 

 tion, and therefore he had added seven ex- 

 tra prizes to those given by the committee. 

 One plant taking a prize, to which Mr. 

 Macoun drew attention, was planted in 

 builders' sand, so that no one could ofTer 

 the lack of good soil as an excuse for not 

 growing bulbs. Mr. Macoun held up each 

 prize plant for public inspection, giving tte 

 reasons for and against excellence and 

 form. It was a delightfully instructive ad- 

 dress.
