Ordinary Rubber Garden Hose has to be 

 patched up like this every little while. 

 ** ELECTRIC" Garden Hose— the only hose 

 made of jointloBS rubber tubes and seamless woven, 

 braided fabrics, amalgamated into one elastic tube — 

 outlasts the ordinary bose three to one, and gives con- 

 sistent satisfaction. The extra cost is trifling and 

 makes it the most economical hose for garden use.

A Better Water Sopply 



is what you will need when 

 tlie dry, hot summer fol- 

 lows this lonK winter, and 

 the hest obtainable is a 

 Standard Pumping Engine 

 because it talies the water 

 from tile source of supply 

 and puts it into the pipe 

 line by direct pressure. 



This is the simplest, most 

 reliable and cheapest way 

 of doing your watering.

EMPORIA, KAN. 



At the corner of West street and 

 Twelfth avenue are the greenhouses of 

 the Emporia Floral Co., just completed. 

 At the head of the concern are E. M. Rob- 

 inson and J. Balph Souder; they made 

 their formal entry into the business world 

 of Emporia, March 22, when they gave 

 an opening to which the public came in 

 large numbers. 



Last September the two young men 

 came to Emporia and started to work on 

 the construction of the building. Mr. 

 Eobinson had been in business in Kansas 

 City for twelve years, and Mr. Souder 

 has had seven years of practical expe- 

 rience as a florist, so the two hit off well 

 together as partners in the firm. The 

 greenhouses are 54x100. The plant is 

 heated throughout with steam, and a 

 plant with a boiler of the latest pattern 

 is installed in a boiler house and pit at 

 the rear of the greenhouses. From the 

 sidewalk the corner entrance leads into 

 the office, which is well furnished, with 

 a display case for cut flowers, with 

 counters and other office furniture. 



The building is a handsome adornment 

 to the corner, which stood bare for many 

 years, and looms up well with the resi- 

 dences which have been recently built on 

 the lots of this addition. The partners 

 did all the work of construction, from 

 the laying of the foundation to the fit- 

 ting of the heating system. 



The stock for the greenhouses has been 

 coming in for several weeks, and special 

 shipments for Easter were received. It 

 will take several months before the com- 

 pany can cut its own stock, and in the 

 meantime supplies will be drawn from 

 outside. 



Babker, N. Y. — J. E. SpaflEord will this 

 season put up two greenhouses, 21x100.
