We desire to call public attention to a very large reduction in the prices of our Rider and Ericsson pumps. 
This is due to greatly improved facilities in our new plant. The introduction of special machinery has 
resulted, not only in the absolute standardization of all parts, but also in decreased cost of manufacturing. 
We want our patrons to share these benefits with us. 
The old and new prices printed below speak for themselves:

Hot-Air Pumps last a lifetime. Over 40,000 are now in use, and the users include the best-known people 
in America and Europe. These reduced prices bring them within easy reach of a very modest income. 
Beware of imitations. Our name-plate appears upon every genuine pump. In view of the enormously 
increased demand, orders should be placed as much in advance of requirements as possible.

THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 
Mayr, 1908 
bedding. There are so-called annual strains 
—for example, the Paris Extra Early—which 
will bloom the same year that the seed is 
sown. The seeds of this strain can be 
sown outdoors in early spring for late sum- 
mer bloom, or in a cool greenhouse in May 
for bloom all winter. 
Robinson says that this plant loves a wall 
better than the garden. It forms an endur- 
ing bush on an old wall if planted in mortar, 
Two single varieties of wallflower as pictured in 
1613 in the “‘Hortus Eystettensis’’ 
and grows even in walls quite new — but 
that is in England. 
One drawback to the wallflower is that 
if used for cutting, the water must be 
changed twice a day or it smells badly. 
If the flowers are kept for twenty-four 
hours without changing the water, they will 
have to be thrown away.

The Camellia’s Centenary 
ie IS not inappropriate that the Camellia’ 
should be celebrating its centenary by, 
becoming once more a popular greenhouse, 
flower. Of course in the South as a hardy} 
shrub (or small tree) it has never failed to’ 
be appreciated, but on account of the stiff 
formality of its flowers, it had fallen into 
disfavor among florists and gardeners in the 
North. Yet at this time it is not infrequently 
met with in the florists’ stores. ‘The first 
plant of camellia, Mr. Berckmans tells us, 
was introduced in Charleston in 1808.
