The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Max 23, 1912. 



PROSPEROUS FLORISTS 



frequently owe their prosperity to foresight in making 

 use of up-to-date appliances for saving expense, labor, 

 time, etc., and at the same time increasing efficiency 

 and results. 



You know that a constant, steady water supply is 

 necessary if you want the best possible crops, whether 

 in the field or under glass We recognized this need 

 years ago, and to meet it properly we developed 



STANDARD PUMPING ENGINES. 



They are fully guaranteed. If in any way unsatis- 

 lactory they may be returned at our expense and pur- 

 chase price will be refunded. ' --^ 



These engines are made in a variety of styles and are adapted to almost any conditions ordinarily 

 present, and will pump liquid fertilizers as easily as water, without any danger of clogging. Some are made 

 to pump from shallow wells, cisterns, lakes or rivers; others are adapted to pump from deep wells, but all 

 of them use either gas or gasoline and are constructed with a view to reliability abovd everything else. 

 Let us send you Catalogue Wo. 12. It tells much of interest and is free, but we need your name and address.

FORT WAYNE, IND. 



Trade in this vicinity for Mothers' 

 day broke all records. The demand Fri- 

 day and Saturday was great, but Sun- 

 day there was an oversupply, due to the 

 inclement weather, as this greatly in- 

 terfered with the transient trade. Nev- 

 ertheless, there were a great many or- 

 ders booked ahead and these kept the 

 florists rushing. The demand was most- 

 ly for white and red carnations. This 

 latter was owing to the fact that a 

 proclamation issued by Governor Mar- 

 shall contained the suggestion to wear 



White flowers for Mothers' memory. 

 Red flowers for Mothers living. 



White and red roses were most in de- 

 mand. The supply of carnations was 

 good, many of the growers holding back 

 their stock for this day. 



The rainy weather the first part of 

 last week made business rather quiet, 

 but it has been quite brisk the last few 

 days. There has been a great deal of 

 funeral work, and several large wed- 

 dings, also decorations for parties and 

 receptions within the last two weeks. 



The general stock has been excellent 

 for this time of year. Roses are good in 

 quality, as also are carnations. There 

 is some particularly fine snapdragon 

 now, with enormous spikes. Daisies, 

 pansies, mignonette and sweet peas meet 

 with good demand. 



Various Notes. 



A wedding of interest to the trade 

 was that of Miss Bon Silene Auger, 

 daughter of Mrs. L. E. Auger, and Her- 

 bert P. Coverdale, which occurred Sat- 

 urday evening, May 18. The grand- 

 father of the bride was the first flo- 

 rist to settle in Indiana and her father, 

 Louis Auger, the first florist in Fort 

 Wayne. R- P- F. 



AUentown, Pa.— Charles F. Berke- 

 meyer has purchased the store of A. B. 

 Ellsworth, at 17 North Sixth street, and 

 will continue the business under the 

 name of the Ellsworth Flower Shop. He 

 will retain the present efficient force of 

 helpers and will push the business ener- 

 getically. Mr. Ellsworth, who is now 

 treasurer of the Blair Machine & Tool 

 Works and is interested in extensive 

 real estate operations, will have an 

 office for a time at his former address.
