An Emancipation Proclamation. 



WHY not emancipate your boys, and yourself, too, from the back-breaking 

 labor of the hand pump? A Standard Pumping Engine saves time, and 

 in tl>e end saves money. It saves strength, health and peace of mind. 

 You will not worry for fear it niay get out of repair — it won't. 



You can install a Standard Pumping Engine for your greenhouse and gar- 

 den system, using direct pressure, and the same machine will furnish water for 

 your domestic supply, with any kind of a tank. You can use it to replace 

 windmills, hand pumps, belt-driven pumps or any unsatisfactory pumping ap- 

 paratus, and the only change that need be made is to put in the new pumping 

 engine — you need not disturb piping, tank or other fittings of your old system.

BOCHESTEB. 



The Market. 



Even though the weather during the 

 last week has not been ideal, trade 

 has been good. Possibly the lack of 

 spring sunshine, coupled with the two 

 or three snow storms, makes the house- 

 grown flowers appear more valuable 

 than usual. The market has not been 

 overstocked. Although carnations have 

 been specially plentiful, the demand 

 has been sufficient to clean up every- 

 thing, and at prices that netted a rea- 

 sonable profit. 



The outlook for the Easter trade is 

 unusually good. Flowers will be plenti- 

 ful, and while prices are little, if any, 

 lower than last year, they will not be 

 beyond the reach of even a modest 

 purse. The growers and wholesalers 

 are rejoicing in the fact that, while 

 the supply is large, the prices remain 

 high enough to permit their realizing 

 a fair return for their eflforts. 



Easter lilies are plentiful, with prices 

 ranging from 15 cents to 25 cents per 

 bloom. Killarney and Beauty roses are 

 quoted at $6 to $18 a hundred. Car- 

 nations are abundant, and there is a 

 good supply of sweet peas, daffodils, 

 tulips, azaleas and primroses. 



Various Notes. 



George B. Hart is planning for a 

 record-breaking Easter business, and 

 says that the market has never before 

 been so well supplied with flowers for 

 this season. E. F. R.
