" It falleth like the gentle rain from Heaven upon 

 a place beneath"— 



when a Standard Pumping Engine iH used for the water supply. 



For irrigating in your garden and spraying and syringing in your green- 

 house, you can have a slow, steady, soaking stream, or a light, fine, showery 

 fall of water, like Nature's own method. 



Effective spraying and syringing can be done only with high 

 pressure, and the only satisfactory way to obtain high pressure is to use a 

 STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE. No other pumping machine gives 

 nearly so high a i)ressure as the Standard — 90 pounds per square inch, 

 or any lower pressure required — and this without a tank. YOU CAN 

 CONTROL THE PRESSURE.

The Market. 



The retail cut flower trade has been 

 moving along quietly the last week; it 

 could not be called dull, but there have 

 been no large orders and there is no 

 doubt the high price of flowers has kept 

 the small sales down. 



Among the wholesalers pink and red 

 roses have been scarce all week, but 

 white have been plentiful enough. 

 Lilies have almost dropped out of sight 

 and carnations are still short, but vio- 

 lets, valley, daffodils and tulips are 

 quite plentiful. Taken all in all it has 

 been an easy week, with just enough 

 stock to clean up nicely and nothing to 

 worry about except collections. 



Various Notes. 



G. & J. W. Ludwig have rented a 

 large store room on Federal street, north 

 side, and will open a first-class flower 

 store at once. 



P J. Demas, of the Pittsburg Flo- 

 rists' Exchange, and J. Gregones, who 

 was formerly in the retail flower busi- 

 ness on Fifth avenue, have taken a ten- 

 year lease on a building on Fifth ave- 

 nue at a rental aggregating $500,000 

 They will rent the upper floors, but 

 expect to open a theater on the first 



Tuesday, February 3, will be club 

 meeting night and all the members 

 should pay their dues and be on hand 

 to vote, as this is the first time m years 

 there has been more than one candidate 

 for president. The candidates are: John 

 Jones, foreman Schenley Park green- 

 houses, and Wm. Allen, superintendent 

 of Homewood cemetery. 



Edw. Weaver, of Eandolph & Mc- 

 Clements, who has been on the sick 

 list, is back at his post. 



C Philipp, formerly gardener on the 

 Swift estate at Lake Geneva, Wis., is 

 now in this city, where he is taking 

 charge, as superintendent and florist, or 

 H. J. Heinz 's place, generally known 

 as the Greenlawn Conservatories, 



John Madden, of Randolph & McClem- 

 ents' Penn avenue store, reports the 

 business as showing continued improve- 

 ment, especially counter sales. 



We had two days' sunshine in succes- 

 sion last week— the first in months.
