when pumping directly into two lines of ^inch hose, and it 

 only requires a 2-horsepow8r engine to do It. This size is 

 capable of delivering from 800 to 1000 gallons of water or 

 liquid fertilizer per hour against any pressure up to 90 pounds 

 per square inch. This is equal to the pressure from a tank 

 200 feet high.

The Maxket 



Flowers of all varieties were plenti- 

 ful here last week; in fact, far in ex- 

 cess of the demand. The lenten season 

 has had a marked effect on business. 

 Violets and sweet peas came into the 

 local market in large quantities and on 

 fair days the street men were offering 

 good sized bunches at little money. 

 Killarneys, white and pink, could be 

 had at from $3 for the poorer grades 

 J $12 for the best. White roses, such 

 as Bride, Ivory, etc., brought from $5 to 

 $12 per hundred, and pink roses cost $1 

 more by the hundred. The newer and 

 odd varieties of roses, Radiance, Welles- 

 ley, Enchanter and Mrs. Taft, due to 

 a shortage in the supply, brought better 

 prices. There has been an exceptionally 

 plentiful production of carnations and 

 $5 per hundred can be considered as 

 the top-notch price, while poor stock 

 could be had for much less. Sweet peas 

 could be had at the wholesale houses 

 at any price from $2.50 to $10 per thou- 

 sand, as never before have they been 

 seen in this city in such large quanti- 

 ties as now. The supply of lilies has 

 shortened considerably, although callas 

 are in heavy supply but small demand. 

 Gardenias are plentiful and can bo had 

 at from $25 down to almost nothing, 

 but cattleyas are quite scarce and are 

 bringing 50 to 75 cents each. 



The growers are all doing their 

 utmost to bring their stock in right for 

 the Easter business and it would seem, 

 from the present indications, that moat 

 of them will be successful. At this 

 writing the lilies are in good shape and 

 at the proper time there will be a good 

 supply of these, as well as of hydran- 

 geas, spiraeas, rhododendrons and lilacs. 

 A great many of the lilies, however, 

 will be short.
