The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JCNB 22, 1011. 



KlTANDARD PUMPING ENGINES do not compete with any other pumping outfits because the 

 BJ Standard is in a class of its own, having special features designed expressly to meet 

 the needs of Florists and Gardeners. These features are not found in other engines and pumps 

 and can be obtained only with the Standard. You will be more interested when you get our 

 catalogue and learn how we can save you time and money and get you better results with less labor— 

 A Standard catalogue is the first mile post on the road to prosperity— we send it on request.

The Market. 



All kinds of stock are scarce. Boses 

 are small and carnations are not plenti- 

 ful and the prices on them are high. 

 Outdoor stock is also scarce, as it is 

 too dry and hot. No rain has fallen 

 for many weeks, causing grass and 

 shrubbery to die in the yards.^ Sweet 

 peas will be a failure, green aphis hav- 

 ing a great hold on them, and the hot 

 wind is killing the stems. Gladioli are 

 not in yet and few are expected. Asters, 

 if not watered, are burning in the 

 fields. 



Various Notes. 



The Rock Flower Co. is making large 

 preparations to grow violets, a great 

 many of which will be grown in cold- 

 frames. Their roses are looking fine 

 and a big force of men are busy get- 

 ting in new soil. Some of the soil has 

 been shipped in from quite a distance 

 and a test will be made to see if better 

 stock cannot be grown in Missouri. The 

 carnations in the field are looking fine, 

 considering the exceedingly dry weath- 

 er. They are growing their asters un- 

 der tall sheds shaded with laths. These 

 laths are woven with wire and can be 

 handled easily; the wind cannot 

 throw them and the sun has no effect 

 on the laths, as the wire holds them 

 straight. Their hydrangeas, in bloom 

 under some large shade trees, are extra 

 fine. The large lake of water is about 

 exhausted and the city's 8-inch main 

 will soon be tapped to supply them. 



Charles Humfeld, of Clay Center, 

 Kan., made us a visit last week. He 

 reports dry weather and excessive heat. 

 His carnations are in full crop at pres- 

 ent. They are just finishing up a 15- 

 acre patch of sweet potatoes. He is 

 using a machine this year that plants 

 and waters each plant as fast as the 

 two horses draw it. 



E. H. Frandsen reports a good spring 

 trade. He is now looking up material 

 for one more greenhouse. 



Andy Arnold reports that he is about 

 all sold out. He had a splendid trade. 



Jacob Tobler did not go to the market 

 square this season to sell his plants. 

 His home trade takes all he cair grow. 

 His business was fine. 



Humfeld-Orear Floral Co. reports a 

 splendid trade. They Bad hard work to 

 find enough plants to supply the de- 

 mand. 



L. Orear is one of the happiest men 

 in the southern part of the city. An 

 eight and one-half pound boy arrived 

 June 11. Mother and baby are doing 

 well. The boy's grandpa says that it 

 is the finest boy he has ever seen.
