A STORY OF WATER SUPPLY TROUBLES 



628 PROSPECT AVKNUE 



* * * He saw our ad. In the Florists' Review— sent for our catalogue and got it promptly. The 



STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE 



using Kas or gasoline for fuel, looked right to him. "That /, ' . *. 



AUTOMATIC SAFETY VALVE IS CERTAINLY FINE. 



"But yon are too high priced. I can buy a engine and belt driven pump and get a 



common safety valve and then I have just the same thing (or less money." He did so— had it six 

 weelcB— it never worked just right, so he threw it out and refused to pay for it. Then he tried an- 

 other—the belt slipped, the safety valve leaked and got stopped up, it was not made for that 

 kind of work. He threw this one out, too, and said to us: "Tell me more about your 



AUTOMATIC BY.PASS 



and how soon you can ship me a UT AMD AMD PUHPUrO BVOXVB ?" We got his order 

 on Saturday, we shipped the same day by express, * * * running in his place the next Tuesday 

 and saved bis dried-up stock. 



His letter with payment said: "Working fine. Wish you the success you so richly deserve."

POTTING CAMELLIAS. 



Camellias should be potted when they 

 have completed their growth, and when 

 that takes place depends, of course, on 

 when the plants are started. If flowers 

 are wanted in November it will be neces- 

 sary to start them into growth early in 

 the season, so that they will set their 

 flower buds soon. It is easy to see when 

 they are about to set their flower buds; 

 the shoots cease to lengthen and they 

 commence to thicken at the points; the 

 terminal leaves attain their full size and 

 get solidified. This is the time to shift 

 the plants into larger pots; if potting is 

 neglected until the buds are fully formed 

 they will very likely drop off soon after 

 the operation. 



Camellias do not need repotting as 

 often as most other hard-wooded plants 

 do. The pots should be well drained, and 

 in potting the soil should be made as firm 

 by means of the potting stick as the ball 

 of soil which the roots are already in; 

 otherwise, when water is applied, it will 

 pass through the new soil and leave the 

 ball dry, in which condition it is impos- 

 sible for the plants to remain healthy 

 and vigorous. F.

There is no danger of fire: no smoke, dirt or gases to injure 

 the plants. They burn Lebman Coal, which costs less than 

 half a cent per hour. 4ar 400,000 Lehman Heaters are in 

 use, which clearly shows they have merit. FloriBts everywhere 

 use and recommend them. Have you one ? Beware of Imitations t
