STANDARD HIGH PRESSDRE FOR SPRINKLING, SPRAYING AND IRRIGATING 



Standard Pumping Engines are so strongly made that, while 90 pounds per square inch 

 is given as their maximum pressure, they are actually tested out under a pressure of J 25 pounds. 

 The 90-pound pressure is equivalent to that which you would obtain from a tank elevated 200 

 feet, and no other machine w^ill give such higph pressure, which you will find essential for 

 certain kinds of work. There will be other work, however, for which so high a pressure w<.uld be 

 injurious rather than desirable, and so you need some device by which you can control the 

 pressure. We have made this possible by designing the STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE 

 with an automatic by-pass in the valve chamjber of the pump (shown in the accom|)anying 



illustration), which will maintain in the system any pressure for which it is 

 set, passing the excess water back into the suction chamber to be pumf>ed 

 over again. By means of this you can close one or all of the faucets 

 being used while the pump is operating, and hose connections may be 

 changed from one faucet to another without stopping the pump.

YONKERS, N. Y. 



A regular meeting of the Yonkers 

 Horticultural Society was held Friday, 

 February 3. The dinner committee re- 

 ported that all arrangements were made 

 for a good time Tuesday, February 7. 

 About 120 good men and true intended 

 to vindicate a gardening appetite at 

 the Park Hill Inn. 



A member of the executive commit- 

 tee, J. Houghton, having left for Chi- 

 cago, a vacancy had to be filled in that 

 body. 



H. Scott received first prize for some 

 fine Calla lilies, and H. Wells, second 

 for excellent California violets. It was 

 decided to hold a social session every 

 second month, members donating good 

 things for the one to be held in March. 



The president stated that two mem- 

 bers are sick. Secretary Nicholls having 

 sustained a bad fall and F. Canning 

 suffering from the after-effects of an 

 operation for appendicitis. A sick 

 committee was appointed to visit all 

 members who are ill, reporting to the 

 society at regular meetings.

The Market. 



During January business has been 

 remarkably brisk, many special events 

 calling for an extra supply of stock. 

 Funeral work has not been overabun- 

 dant, the trade calling chiefly for 

 plants and roses from open ground 

 sales. While cut flowers are normal, 

 vegetation is far advanced — too much 

 so to be not considered dangerous if we 

 should encounter a late frost, which is 

 not improbable. 



Various Notes. 



Our old friend, W. W. Coles, with his 

 wife and child, of Kokomo, Ind., 

 dropped in on his way to his newly- 

 acquired home in Texas, and after 

 viewing the sights of the city and hav- 

 ing a talk of old times with his friends, 

 left in a happy state of mind.

Canajoharle, N. Y. — Joseph Traudt, 

 the "wizard of the Mohawk valley," is 

 devoting special attention to his latest 

 production, a variegated alyssum, of 

 which he has a fine stock ready for dis- 

 tribution. This plant was exhibited at 

 Rochester and favorably noticed. Every 

 plant has kept true to type. Begonia 

 Lorraine is another of his specialties 

 and is well grown by J. O. Graham, Jr. 



We Stand Behind Every House We Sell 



Stand behind it big and strong. Stand behind it, ready to make anything right 

 that's not right. 



If you have had experience with firms who argue and discuss — write and re- 

 write and hem and haw over little things and big things alike — ^then you will appre- 

 ciate our pleasant way of doing business.
