The week just passed iihrough ha* 

 been rather a quiet one in a business 

 way for most of the local florists, it be- 

 ing Cadillaqua week. Heresifter the 

 linding of Cadillac at Detroit, which 

 occurred 211 years agd, will be- cele- 

 brated annually with a land and water 

 carnival. 



All the decorating of the machines 

 which participated in the largest airto 



Sarade ever" held in the country, was 

 Dne,,;?vith artificial flowers, paper ef- 

 fects, flind paipt, and only in t^wo in- 

 stances was a natural green used. 

 '; It is estimated that we had from 75,- 

 000 to 100,000 oufc-of-town visitors datij^, 

 ijaat little of their money reached the flo- 

 ijitsts. Still no one is cpqaplaining, as 

 l^e *iH-T©a^"th€»* benedt iftdirectly. 



St^k is^potir aB(i scarce. Carnations 

 ftre small and asters not much better. 

 Such is the condition of the market 

 tnat it is really no ple.asur(et94U. orders.,

Of course, Standard Piimpinir En^nes are designed primar- 

 ily to Kive the best possible water supply in tbe greenhouse or 

 in the field, no matter what the circuihstances, but our long 

 :ex(«rience in furnishing irrigation systems has enabled us to 

 develop special features that make the y < ' 





SUNDURD PUMPINB ENSINE 



particularly well adapted to service of this kind. The accompanying illustration shows the 

 special valves thiat-we bare designed to enable our pumping units to take liauid fertilizers 

 into the irrigation systems and distribute them over a field with the water. Thisisaccom- 



plislied by means of a special regulating inlet 

 ' valve, which can be adjusted to take in a definite 



quantity of fertilizer with the given amount of 



\tater. 



In the Deep Well Pumping Engines we Jiave a 

 special pump, which is mounted on the base of 

 the machine itself, for pumping the fertilizer into 

 the discharge pipe line against the pressure, and 

 we thus secure the same distribution in the Deep 

 Well pump as is accomplished in the Suction Lift 

 pump. A person experienced with work of this 

 nature will readily appreciate the great saving 

 of time by distributing KTtilizer in this way, as 

 well as absolute safety in securing a proper dis- 

 tribution of the fertilizer to all parts of the field.

 these engines and their special fea- 

 tures for florists. Write for it today
