The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febbdaby 16, 1911. 



Read This Letter 



It is from a Pennsylvania florist 

 who had been using a gravity sys- 

 tem before installing the Standard. 

 His water then cost him nothing 

 and did not have to be pumped. 

 The point is, 



It took longer to do the 

 watering with low pressure 



He writes : 



"Before we bad the pump It took two men five hours each to do the work that one man does now in 

 two houra. and the work is done better and more tboroughlr. We now save In actual time 8 

 hours a day, saving: thereby $1.59 per day in watres. or tSM per week, or $496.00 per year— more than 

 twice the cost of the engine." 



This ought to appeal to TOU. Send for a catalogue to

ALBANY, N. Y. 



At the last meeting of the Albany 

 Florists' Club, it was decided that an 

 exhibit for members only will be a 

 feature of the meeting to be \eld on 

 Thursday evening, March 2. The pro- 

 gram will conclude with a banquet. It 

 is expected that a number of new roses 

 and carnations now being introduced 

 will be on display for the first time 

 here. 



A communication was read from J. A. 

 Shaw, representing the New York Flo- 

 rists ' Club, asking the cooperation of 

 the Albany florists in securing the pas- 

 sage of a bill through the legislature 

 appropriating $50,000 for state experi- 

 mental greenhouses. Frederick Gold- 

 ring, a former president, was appointed 

 to represent the local club in the mat- 

 ter, and instructed to cooperate with 

 other club representatives. 



Louis Schaefer gave an interesting 

 report of a visit to the meetings of the 

 Buffalo Florists' Club in December and 

 January, and the enthusiasm displayed 

 by the members in discussing trade 

 subjects. 



President F. A. Danket* appointed 

 Patrick Hyde, John J. Berberick and 

 Fred Henkes a supervising committee 

 to visit sick members, and to perform 

 other necessary acts of kindness. 



Frederick Goldring and Charles San- 

 ders were instructed to prepare suitable 

 resolutions upon the death of Thomas 

 B. Snare, a member who died January 9. 



Allen J. Jenkins, Lenox, Mass., and 

 Stephen Green, Philadelphia, were 

 elected members. 



Port Arthur, Tex.— C. H. Crawford, 

 a clergyman who became a florist for 

 the sake of his health, and who pros- 

 pered in the trade, has regained his 

 strength in this genial Gulf coast cli- 

 mate and has now returned to the min- 

 istrj'. He sold his greenhouse to R. H. 

 Woodworth, who has removed it to his 

 own place and greatly enlarged it, pur- 

 posing to grow vegetables. Mr. Craw- 

 ford's flower business, however, has 

 been purchased by Charles Pearsons, 

 2035 Proctor street, who has built a 

 greenhouse and is carrying on a suc- 

 cessful business.
