Standard Durability 



Durability is one of the chief points of advantage in Standard Pump- 

 ingf Engfines, just as it is a feature of all high priced automobile engines, and 

 the high grade stationary engines for electric light and power purposes. The 

 Standard engine design is similar to that of the best automobiles in having a 

 vertical, water cooled engine. The vertical engine is far preferable to 

 the horizontal for its superior wearing qualities, as long experience has 

 demonstrated. The inlet and exhaust valves are of the vertical poppet type, 

 are mechanically operated by means of steel cams, and have extremely long guide 

 bushings, which hold them in line and absolutely air-tight. The side strain on 

 horizontal valves gradually wears them out, but the vertical valve, mechanically 

 operated, is the acme of durability.

The Market. 



Trade has been fairly good during the 

 last week. Funeral work has been quite 

 plentiful. Flowers are not quite so 

 scarce. Carnations still retail at 75 

 cents per dozen, roses at $2 per dozen; 

 single tulips at 60 cents, double tulips 

 at 75 cents per dozen; daffodils at 50 

 cents and 60 cents per dozen; Paper 

 Whites at 50 cents per dozen, retail; 

 violets at $1 per hundred blooms, sweet 

 peas at $1 per hundred blooms, snap- 

 dragons at $1 per dozen, callas at $2 

 per dozen, Easter lilies at $3 per dozen. 

 Freesia still helps out, as also does 

 alyssum. 



The plant trade continues good. Some 

 nice flowering plants are to be seen in 

 the store windows. 



During the last week we have had 

 more days of sunshine than we have 

 had for months. The weather is mild, 

 with occasional cold nights. 



Various Notes. 



E. H. Chamberlain had a nice window 

 display of flowering plants Saturday, 

 February 25, consisting of azaleas, tu- 

 lips, cyclamens, daffodils, lily of the 

 valley and cinerarias. 



"William P. Peirce was busy last week 

 with funeral work. He reports a good 

 call for plants. 



Peter Murray is sending in some nice 

 obconica primroses. His place is in 

 fine shape. 



'R. E. Nofftz is cutting some excellent 

 bulb stock. He had a handsome window 

 display last week. 



R. H. Woodhouse had a good wed- 

 ding order recently, requiring a large 

 quantity of palms, ferns and flowering 

 plants. W. L. 



Greenfield, Mass.— E. A. Richards, of 

 the Sunny Dell Greenhouses, makes a 

 specialty of growing carnations for the 

 retail trade, and he modestly states 

 that he hopes some of his stock may 

 be good enough for exhibition at the 

 Boston show in March. He says he has 

 a light pink sport of White Perfection 

 that he is watching closely, believing 

 that it will prove to be valuable. He 

 thinks highly of May Day and expects 

 to plant it more extensively next 

 season.
