IHIS shows our 2 h.p. Suction Lift Pumping Engine, the type of the Standard Pumping 

 Engines which most florists find best adapted to their use. This machine delivers 

 from 800 to 1000 gallons of water per hour, against a constant pressure of 90 pounds 

 per square inch, supplying one or twft ^-inch hose, for spraying and irrigating. The 

 water is forced directly into the pipe lines at high pressure, and no tank is needed. 



We make different styles of Pumping Engines to meet all requirements, and ours is the 

 longest experience in this line. Our machine is 



THE STANDARD OF PROGRESSIVENESS AND RELIABILITY.' 



One of them lasts a lifetime, and they are entirely simple, economical and easy to operate. 



Oar catalogue illustrates and explains in detail the different types of tbe Standard Pumping: KnKinea. 



with all the special features which give them great advantages over othtir pumping methods.

MERIDEN, CONN. 



.Vhe Market. 



The warm weather has brought out 

 many of the Easter lily buds and there 

 is a large supply on the market. Car- 

 nations are scarce; the wholesale grow- 

 ers, instead of forcing them, are hold- 

 ing them back for Memorial day. 

 Funeral work still keeps the florists on 

 the jump. Many weddings have taken 

 place during the last week; therefore 

 roses and valley have been in great de- 

 mand. Judging by the looks of the fruit 

 trees, we ought to have an abundant 

 supply of fruit in the coming summer. 

 The street florists are now regularly' 

 seen. J 



Various Notes^ / 



E. C. Blatchley, of the ^atehley Co., 

 has purchased a new Metz runabout. 



Dondero, the fruit dealer of West 

 Main street, has opened a flower store, 

 using half of the store for that purpose. 



The Blatchley Co. had a fine window 

 display of azaleas and ferns last week. 



A "floral ball" was recently given 

 by the dancing class of Meriden. The 

 hall was beautifully decorated with 

 green leaves, daffodils and cut flowers. 

 Twigs tied with yellow ribbon hung 

 from the side lights, softening the glow. 

 Flowers were used abundantly and this 

 affair made local business good for one 

 day. 



B. W. Barrow had a fine window dis- 

 play of cut flowers and potted plants. 



John Bonell is handling large ship- 

 ments of Easter lilies. S. 



Little Bock, Ark. — Gus Garrett, at 

 1224 Jones street, is building an addi- 

 tional greenhouse, at a cost of about 

 $1,500.

You can hi^ve rainfall at your command — IN any quantity 

 — at any time — with the Skinner System of Irrigation. 



The special nozzles, set in the overhead pipes, spray the water in 

 a fine mist uniformly all over the plants and ground, just like 

 a steady, gentle rain. 



The most delicate foliage cannot be injured; the ground 

 does not cake and crack, but keeps soft and porous, 

 letting in the air, so essential to rapid plant growth. 



The Skinner System of Irrigation will save enough in 

 labor in one season to pay for itself. The area that one 

 man can wat^jr is limited only by the extent of the instal- 

 lation. \|rrite today for our interesting illustrated 

 booklets oil indoor and outdoor Irrigation.
