The pride of the place today is the 

 compressed air system for pumping 

 water, and the manure tank, which sup- 

 ply great quantities of clear water and 

 of liquid manure, respectively. The 

 first was put in to avoid impure water 

 and the second to conserve plant food. 



The water system is complete. An 

 artesian well has replaced the alum- 

 tainted spring. The well water is lifted 

 by compressed air, another pump forc- 

 ing the water through the system. A 

 pond is fed by the drain of water, or 

 overflow from the greenhouses, giving 

 a supply of manure water which can 

 be strengthened or diluted as desired. 



To illustrate how he got through, Mr. 

 Farenwald said that he watered one 

 large section in three hours by using 

 many pieces of hose all on different 

 spigots, turning each spigot on full 

 force and moving them all as fast as 

 the soil within reach got soaked. The 

 success of this scheme was due to slopes 

 downhill in the rose bed, the watering 

 being commenced at the upper end and 

 continued to the lower until all the 

 plants had enjoyed a good drink. 



No one can visit Mr. Farenwald 's 

 place without realizing that Mr. Faren- 

 wald himself is the magnet. The men 

 who call him familiarly Fernwold, 

 frankly admit that he thoroughly un- 

 derstands his business, although they 

 are not always quite sure whether or 

 not he is laughing at them. Whether 

 in fun or in earnest, Mr. Farenwald is 

 always worth hearing. His statements 

 in the second case can be safely ac- 

 cepted in tbto, while those in the first 

 may be taken cum grano sails.

WHOLESALE FLORIST

Philadelphia, Pa. 



Tuesday evening, January 7. It was 

 publicity night, with a galaxy of dis- 

 tant stars to illuminate the occasion, in- 

 cluding seven motor loads from Balti- 

 more. An informal dinner was given in 

 their honor before the meeting. It is pro- 

 posed to make this dinner a feature of 

 club nights. The idea is that any mem- 

 ber may come to the Adelphia to dine 

 with his fellow-members before the 

 meeting.
