The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



February 22, 1912. 



PROSrEROUS FLORISTS 



frequently owe their prosperity to foresight in making 

 use of up-to-date appliances for saving expense, labor, 

 time, etc., and at the same time increasing efficiency 

 and results. 



You know that a constant, steady water supply is 

 necessary if you want the best possible crops, whether 

 in the field or under glass. We recognized this need 

 years ago, and to meet it properly we developed 



Standard Pumping Engines. 



These engines are made in a variety of styles and are adapted to almost any conditions ordinarily 

 present, and will pump liquid fertilizers as easily as water, without any danger of clogging. Some are made 

 to pump from shallow wells, cisterns, lakes or rivers; others are adapted to pump from deep wells, but all 

 of them use either gas or gasoline and are constructed with a view to reliability above everything else. 

 Let us send you Catalogue No. 10. It tells much of interest and is free, but we need your name and address.

The Market. 



The zero weather broke just in time 

 to allow the Valentine's day business 

 to come and be handled without any 

 trouble. The temperature was around 

 the freezing point and was such a con- 

 trast to the preceding weather that 

 trade took a decided change for the 

 better. Heavy advertising and circu- 

 lar work made the day popular and 

 trade was away in advance of other 

 years. Violets were the leaders, but 

 heavy sales were reported in all lines. 

 Sweet peas sold well and the mild 

 weather made it possible for corsages 

 to be worn on the street. The day 

 showed a marked increase in the use 

 of flowers, and the increase will no 

 doubt continue until the day can he 

 compared to Thanksgiving and the 

 larger holidays. The window displays 

 were extensive and the novelties were 

 well worthy of mention. 



Bulb stock is now in the market in 

 a crowded condition, with not much 

 sign of an outlet. Carnations are also 

 plentiful, but the shortage of roses is 

 marked. 



Various Notes. 



R. M. Rebstock has entirely remod- 

 eled the store and added elaborate fix- 

 tures, and now has a store which any- 

 one might well be proud of. The best 

 feature of all is that business keeps 

 coming and there was a fine Valentine 's 

 day business. A Ford car for delivery 

 has now been added. R. A. S. 



Somersworth, N. H. — G. S. Ramsburg 

 had the decorations for the recent ball 

 of the Somersworth Clerks' Associa- 

 tion. 



Albany, N. Y. — Whittle Bros, expect 

 to remove from their present store, 10 

 North Pearl street, to 52 North Pearl 

 street, about May 1. 



Hartford, Conn. — The city is seeking 

 to open a street, laid out in 1867 but 

 never opened, across which now stand 

 the greenhouses of J. Albert Brodrib, 

 who has thus far prevented by injunc- 

 tion the removal of his buildings.
