DIRECT PRESSURE vs. 

 TANK PRESSURE 



Our last advertisement demonstrated that a hig^h 

 pressure system saves four-filths of tbe time 



spent in watering. We now wish to call your attention 

 to the fact that oy a direct pressure system, with 

 which you can regulate the pressure, making it as 

 high or as low as you witli, your watering will be much 

 more efficient, and adaptable to all purposes. 



If you are spraying for red spiders, for instance, you 

 will need a very high pressure and fine spray. For 



certain other work, a lower pressure is desirable. With an elevated tank you cannot 

 regrulate the pressure, and so high a pressure as the STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE 

 gives is impossible unless the tank could be elevated 200 feet, which elevation is necessary to 

 secure a pressure of 90 pounds per square inch. Send for a catalogue to

MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Undoubtedly business, which was 

 good last week, would have been still 

 better had it not been for the unfavor- 

 able weather. This also had a tendency 

 to shorten receipts in most lines, es- 

 pecially carnations. There was quite 

 an improvement in the volume of busi- 

 ness done for St. Valentine's day, the 

 stock most called for being violets an<] 

 sweet peas. Sunday noon, February 19, 

 found the wholesalers well cleaned np 

 in all lines. 



Various Notes. 



Al Benke, of Watertown, Wis., was 

 in town last week visiting Mrs. Benke, 

 who underwent an operation at the 

 Trinity hospital. Latest reports are 

 that she is getting along nicely. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co. reports 

 business satisfactory; a better call for 

 St. Valentine's this year than last. 



While we seldom bear of the Flo- 

 rists' Bowling League, which has a 

 membership of fifteen, they meet once 

 a week. Last week a five-man team of 

 florists plaj'ed a match with the Odah- 

 nas. Although the florists lost out, 

 they did well and expect to show up 

 better in the return match, which is 

 to take place March 1 at their homo 

 alleys, Steihke's, Eleventh and Prairie 

 streets. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. says ship- 

 ping demand exceeded receipts most of 

 the tim'b last week, 



Aug. F. Kellner, who had the decora- 

 tion for the Bachelors' ball February 

 20, used large quantities of cedar 

 wreathing, wild smilax and foliage 

 plants to good advantage. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. says the 

 call for cut flowers from the Madison, 

 Wis., florists, due to the Junior Prom, 

 was exceptionally good this year. 



Visitors last week were: Alfred Syl- 

 vester, Oconomowoc, Wis.; B. Eschner, 

 of M. Eice & Co., Philadelphia; J. J. 

 Karins, representing Henry A. Dreer, 

 Philadelphia, and F. E. Creedy, repre- 

 senting Arthur T, Boddington, New 

 York city. 



March 2 the next regular meeting of 

 the Florists' Club takes place and, with 

 plans as outlined by President H. V. 

 Hunkel, ought to prove interesting.
