Another Successful Florist 



Who Uses a Standard Pumping Engine.

 TiiK Btandard PiiMi' & Engine Co. 



Gentlemen: — In reply to your inquiry as to how I like the 

 Standard Pumping Engine, I will say that after trying two other 

 pumping outfits I installed a Standard, which I have used to my 

 entire satisfaction. It is doing all that you claim for it, pumping all 

 tlie water for my greenhouse (20,000 feet of glass) and my house. 



This machine costs about 60 cents a month for gas and bat- 

 teries and all the expense of running. It will give any pressure 

 up to loO poimds easily, and has force enough to eradicate red 

 spider and white fly by knocking the eggs off from the plants. 

 When connected with a pneumatic tank for domestic use, as we 

 have it, it is very satisfactory. 



I assure the florists that they will make no mistake in buying 

 Standard Pumping Engines. 



Yours truly, R. B. Hayes.

The Market. 



Conditions have changed little from 

 last report, except that stock has been 

 coming in a little more plentifully. Red 

 roses, however, continue to be scarce. 

 Carnations are coming in a little more 

 plentifully and are of excellent quality 

 Violets are quite plentiful, but the de- 

 mand is not large. While talking of 

 violets, it might be mentioned that 

 several of the retailers every Saturday 

 hold special violet sales. They are 

 offered at 2.5 cents a bunch, but of 

 course are not of the best quality. 

 Sweet peas, daffodils and tulips find a 

 ready market, at good prices. With 

 the general demand and quite a lot of 

 design work and shipping trade, the 

 florists have no cause for idleness. 



Various Notes. 



The seed and bulb trade is opening 

 up well. J. A. Simmers and the Steele-

 trade.

 a shipping trade.

 .Tanuary 24 and brought a few nice 

 orders to a good many of the trade. 



S. A. Frost, of College street, reports 

 last week's business as excellent. Or- 

 ders for design work were plentiful. 



The death of Judge McMahon last 

 week caused quite a few orders to be 

 received. 



Thomas Manton, of Eglinton, has 

 some fine plants in his houses. Some 

 fine specimens of orchids were seen.
