The Weekly Florists^ Review^

Your Stock Next Summer 



will be a failure or success, depending upon whether it receives proper watering. 

 **Put not your trust in Almanacs," is a word to the wise florist. You can't 

 tell whether there will be rain enough so that watering will be unnecessary, or 

 enough wind to pump water if you are depending upon a windmill. But 



You Can Depend Upon a Standard Pumping Engine, 



which is always r«ady to pump when you are ready to water, and takes care 

 of your crop when wind and rain fail. 



You can obtain hig^her pressure from a Standard Pumping^ Engine 



than from any other outfit on the market, and the same machine will furnish 

 water for your spraying and irrigating and for your domestic water supply. 

 It will pump hot water for your greenhouse heating system, and it is a very 

 simple matter to disengage the pump gearing and use the engine alone for power 

 purposes. Yet this installation costs less than a windmill and tank, and 

 it is cheaper to run one of them than to buy city water.

AMHERST, MASS. 



The short course in floriculture at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege opened January 3, with a smaller 

 attendance than had been expected, the 

 registration being eleven. The first 

 talk was given by Mr. Cobb, sales 

 manager of Lord & Burnham Co., who 

 showed a large number of drawings by 

 means of the reflectoscope, of private 

 and commercial ranges which his firm 

 had built. He also spoke of the details 

 of construction to which they attach 

 especial importance and he gave a clear 

 idea of the important factors to be 

 considered in greenhouse construction. 

 January 6 E. 0. King, of the King Con- 

 struction Co., spoke on their construc- 

 tion. Mr. King's talk emphasized the 

 original ideas which have been brought 

 out in the King construction, and he 

 showed by lantern slides a large num- 

 ber of commercial ranges which they 

 have constructed. Mr. King spoke es- 

 pecially of their iron frame truss con- 

 struction and explained the theory on 

 which their houses are built. January 

 7 the observation trip was to the large 

 range of the Montgomery Eose Co., 

 in Hadley, which was built last year 

 by the King Construction Co.

The Columbus Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting Tuesday evening, Janu- 

 ary 10. There was a good attendance 

 and the following were elected to mem- 

 bership: Robert Munk, B. Griffith and 

 Frank Verrick. 



The question of giving a flower show 

 here this fall was taken up and the 

 following committee was appointed to 

 work it out: Sherman Stephens, H. M. 

 Munk, Charles Jones, C. P. Torrey, 

 C. A. Roth and Otto Ackerman. All 

 the club members think the time is 

 ripe to put on a good show, and no 

 doubt they will all lend their support.
