PUMPING ENGINE WORN OUT? — Not If It's a Standard 



Wy U Y ? Because we make THE STANDARD so that it CANT WEAR OUT. No expense is spared 



^^ * 1 I • in its manufacture to make it DURABLE. 



^'^"^^"" In DESIGN, with VERTICAL ENGINE, VERTICAL ENGINE VALVES, long double con- 



necting-rods, flange unions, MACHINE-CUT gearing and cast-iron foundat on, it is the ACME OF DURABILITY, 

 and t^e MATERIALS from which each part is made have been selected with much care and forethought. No matter 

 how effective the design, if cheap materials are embodied In the machine it is going to give out in a few months or 

 a few years. In THE STANDARD PUMPING ENGINE all the contact pieces are of HARDENED STEEL, the engine 

 connecting-rods are DROP FORGINGS, all the heavy bushings are of BRONZE, and the pump valves are of BRASS, 

 which cannot rust or corrode. The pump cylinder is brass-lined and has a brass plunger. In fact, each separate 

 piece is of the material which OUR LONG EXPERIENCE has proved to be the best adapted to its paiticular use. 



STANDARD PUMPING ENGINES ARE LIKE THE OLD ROMAN ROADS - BUILT TO LAST

MILWAUKEE. 



The Market. 



Business has not up to this time been 

 so badly afifected by Lent as was antici- 

 pated. With favorable weather both 

 day and night, stock is increasing in sup- 

 ply from day to day and is of good qual- 

 ity. Bulbous stock is quite plentiful, 

 but is still holding its own. Good car- 

 nations find ready sale. 



Various Notes. 



There was not a more pleased bunch 

 on Sunday, March 12, than the five-man 

 team of the Florists' Bowling League, 

 for in the return match with the Odahnas 

 they beat them in three games straight. 

 We hope this will not make them over- 

 confident, in view of the match game 

 with the Chicago boys, March 19. 



The Currie Bros. Co. has been exceed- 

 ingly busy of late, forgetting all about 

 the much dreaded lull expected about 

 this time. 



To receive a large American Beauty 

 order and then not be able to fill it, 

 was .the experience of J. M. Fox & Son 

 on Monday of this week. 



The M. A. McKenney Co. reports a 

 steady demand for pot plants of late. 

 The firm 's show window, which contained 

 good specimens of rambler roses, aza- 

 leas, genistas, etc., no doubt helped to in- 

 crease sales in that line. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. is well satis- 

 fied with last week's business. Advance 

 orders for white carnations for St. Pat- 

 rick's day are numerous. 



The C. C. Pollworth Co. has a heavier 

 call for green carnations than ever be- 

 fore. Though in previous years the trade 

 called for white carnations for St. Pat- 

 rick's day, they now order them ready 

 for sale. 



Nic Zweifel and C. C. Pollworth have 

 expressed their intention of attending the 

 National Flower Show at Boston. 



Mrs. H. V. Hunkel left in the first 

 part of last week for St. Louis, to attend 

 the wedding of her brother, Wm. C. 

 Smith. Mr. Smith is well known to the 

 local craft, having been in the employ of 

 his uncle, Wm. Edlefsen, some ten years 

 ago. 



Spring openings of department stores 

 are the order of the day, helping to 

 break the monotony of some of the retail 

 florists. 



The following called on the trade: J. 

 E. Matthewson, Sheboygan, Wis.; Martin 

 Reukauf, representing H. Bayersdorfer & 

 Co., Philadelphia; Frank Farney, with 

 M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia, and Mrs. 

 C. B. Tremain, Hartford, Wis. E. O
