Both of these terms are descriptive of Standard Pump- 

 ing: Knglnes. but they only indicate two out of many 

 points of superior excellence. These engines can be used 

 to pump direct into the pipe lines or in connection with 

 storage or air pressure tanks of any kind.

NOTES ON SWEET PEAS. 



[Concluded from paee 15.1 

 and had little or no trouble from this 

 disease, which goes to prove that it is 

 a hot weather disease. Peas for mid- 

 winter blooming were sown in August 

 at a new location, remote from the 

 older houses, where as yet I could find 

 no trace of this troublesome disease. 

 Possibly by using movable greenhouses 

 we could travel ahead of this trouble. 



The green worms never caused us 

 much trouble until last season, when 

 they seemed to come in droves. I tried 

 poisoning with different compounds, but 

 few seemed to be killed by this means 

 and we had to resort to hand-picking. 



Bud-dropping is caused by too sud- 

 den changes from long continued warm 

 weather to dark, cloudy weather or 

 the reverse, or by too high an artificial 

 temperature, followed by a sudden drop. 



The Right Temperature. 



As to temperature, during midwinter 

 we run a night temperature of 50 to 55 

 degrees and 60 to 65 degrees during 

 bright, clear weather. Toward spring 

 we drop to 45 or 47 degrees at night, 

 with the same day temperature as dur- 

 ing midwinter. 



Sweet peas require constant attention 

 after the vines are tall enough for sup- 

 ports, so that they may be kept grow- 

 ing erect. In fact, from that time on 

 during the blooming period more labor 

 is required than for any other green- 

 house crop— that is, if you wish to 

 handle the stock carefully and for 

 profit. Though the demand for these 

 flowers is increasing, so also is the 

 supply, and I find that you must have 

 decidedly better stock now than sev- 

 eral years ago, to obtain a fair, average 

 price. 



We ship altogether to commission 

 houses in different cities, which I con- 

 sider the only way to market cut 

 flowers. ^__ 



Quincy, HI. — F. W. Heckenkamp is 

 making arrangements to open a down- 

 town store. He has leased what is re- 

 ferred to as the old office of the St. 

 James hotel, and the room will be re- 

 modeled for his use at a cost of about 

 $1,500. The store will be opened about 

 August 1 and will be one of the beauty 

 spots, it is said, of the Midway, on 

 Sixth avenue. Mr. Heckenkamp is also 

 building an additional greenhouse on 

 his new property opposite Woodland 

 cemetery.
