THE STANDARD PUMP S ENGINE CO., 



USERS OF STANDARD PUMPING ENGINES 



Are always ready to say a word of appreciation for 

 our machines, and many of their good i)oints are empha- 

 sized in the various letters we receive. 



Here are two unsolicited letters which will give you 

 an idea of what Standard dbrability means to users : 



Kenosha. Wis., November 2, 1910.

The Market. 



Even though we are in the midst of 

 Lent, biipiness is not by any means at a 

 standstill. Stock of every description is 

 quite plentiful and of the best quality. 



The last few days have been quite 

 warm, causing an overabundance of 

 spring flowers, and it will be hard for 

 some of the growers to hold back their 

 azaleas for Easter, unless the thermome- 

 ter takes a drop and stays down for a 

 spell. 



Various Notes. 



The new store at 741 Woodward ave- 

 nue, to be occupied by the Detroit Floral 

 Co., will be ready for occupancy about 

 March 25. Shortly after the spring 

 planting season the old greenhouses of 

 the above firm will be torn down. The 

 store at the old place will be conducted 

 until "fall. 



The Bemb Floral Co., although owned 

 by a real German, introduced a clever St. 

 Patrick's day novelty in the form of 

 golden harps about ten inches high, and 

 planted at the base in a cork bark recep- 

 tacle were shamrocks. 



Louis Charvat is after the retail busi- 

 ness in the extreme northeastern part of 

 the city. On Theodore street, near Mt. 

 Elliott, he is building three houses, each 

 20x95, also a small store. The material 

 for the houses is being furnished by the 

 J. C. Moninger Co. Work, will be com- 

 menced this week. 



J. F. Sullivan disposed of a large num- 

 ber of green carnations March 17. 



A beautiful modern building, 110x165, 

 is soon to be erected on the corner of 

 Broadway and East Grand Eiver, the site 

 occupied for the last eighteen years by 

 B. Schroeter. The building is to be a 

 public market and promises to be a good 

 thing for Broadway and incidentally the 

 florists in that vicinity. 



Among the Detroit party at Boston 

 will be Philip Breitmeyer, Harry Breit- 

 meyer, Robert Rahaley, Chas. Plumb, 

 Wm. Hielscher, Albert Pochelon and oth- 

 ers. 



M. Bloy is cutting some exceptionally 

 fine forget-me-nots. H. S. • 



The firm of Jqjin Breitmeyer 's Sons 

 has been reorganized under the same 

 name. The members now are Philip and 

 Harry Breitmeyer. Herman Klagge, who 

 was a member of the old firm, has retired.

OP- IRRIOAXION. 



Once a dradgerir- 

 Now a pleasure ! 



ATI the hard work of watering green- 

 houses and outdoor flower beds, with 

 the accompanying wet feet and muddy 

 clothing, is absolutely eliminated by 

 the Skinner System of Irrigatipn. 



The area one man can water is 

 limited only by the extent of the 

 installation. 



The water from the special noz- 

 zles of the- Skinner System comes 

 out in a fine mist, falls gently on 

 the plants like a soft rain, without 

 injuring the most tender foliage 

 or wasliing away the soil. 



Write us today for our free 

 illustrated boolclets, including 

 special booklet for florists on 

 Greenhouse Irrigation. A postal 

 will bring them.
