The Weekly Florists' Review. 



February 15, 1012: 



A Few Cents' Worth of Gas or Gasoline 



each day will give you plenty of water at high pressure every day in the year, and you won't need to 

 use an overhead or storage tank either. After years spent in studying the florists' and garden- 

 ers' water supply question, we developed a line of pumps and engines that are adaptable to 

 almost any conditions. We have combined the two in one unit 

 and make them in sizes that give a capacity of from 400 to 4000 

 gallons per hour. 



Standard Pumping Engines 



may be used to pump directly into the pipe line and will give a 

 steady, even stream suitable for spraying, irrigating or applying 

 liquid fertilizers. They can also be used with any other kind of 

 elevated tank or air pressure systems when preferred. Tell us the 

 conditions to be met in your case and we'll tell you the best system to overcome your diffi- 

 culties. Write fully about all possible sources of supply and the work to be done. We will freely 

 give our expert advice to exactly fit your case, and in addition will send you our catalogue telling 

 lots more about Standard Pampinc Engioes. Let us hear from you today— now— while you're thinking about it.

GREENWICH, CONN. 



The monthly meeting of the West- 

 chester and Fairfield Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held February 9, with Presi- 

 dent Stuart in the chair and 114 mem- 

 bers present. Eleven applications were 

 received and one honorary member 

 elected. Charles H. Totty gave an in- 

 formal talk on the novelties of 1912, 

 which proved decidedly interesting to 

 all, as did his account of the plans for 

 the National Flower Show, for which 

 many of the members are preparing ex- 

 hibits and which all hope to attend. 



A smoker followed the business ses- 

 sion, during which refreshments were 

 served and there were fine talks by P. 

 Muller, of Boston; E. W. Neubrand, of 

 Tarrytown; Jas. Scott, of Elmsford, 

 and others. E. Mitchell, of Greenwich, 

 gave some delightful songs, as did 

 Messrs. Brown, Marshall, Foster, Wilde 

 and many others. 



The exhibits were particularly good. 

 Certificates of merit were given to 

 C. H. Totty for Carnation Wodenethe 

 and to Scott Bros, for Carnation Wm. 

 Eccles. Cultural certificates were given 

 to T. Aitchison for Carnation Beacon, 

 to R. Allen for two vases of mixed car- 

 nations and for three cinerarias, and to 

 A. Wynne for three plants of stocks. 

 Two plants of schizanthus from A. 

 Wynne and a vase of amaryllis from 

 W. Grierson were highly commended. 

 Votes of thanks were given the follow- 

 ing: P. W. Popp, for vase of schizan- 

 thus; A. Bieschke, for hybrid freesias 

 and for Mrs. Sander marguerite; A. 

 Paterson, for sweet peas; J. Foster, for 

 display of vegetables; J. Burns, for a 

 vase of mixed carnations, A. Wynne, 

 for a vase of single stocks. 



Mr. Totty offered three medals, gold, 

 silver and bronze, for three blooms of 

 Mrs. George Burke, to be competed for 

 at the next fall show. O. E. A. 



Willlmantic, Conn. — J. Li. Leonard an- 

 nounces that he expects to remove to 

 California in the near future.
