PITTSBURG. 



Cut flower trade keeps up pretty 

 well since Christmas, though prices 

 are down some, especially on carna- 

 tions. They don't sell out as clean 

 as they should, $10 to $20 per 1,000 for 

 standards, up to $4 per 100 for fan- 

 cies, are the prices. But the carna- 

 tion seems to have lost beauty since 

 Christmas; whether it is that they 

 were forced some, or because we can- 

 not get Christmas prices for them now. 



Roses are not overplentiful, especi- 

 ally good Beauties. Harrisii are com- 

 ing more freely, but the disease has 

 shown itself more and more the last 

 six weeks. 



Burki is sending in lots of free- 

 sias and some fine Meteors, Romans 

 and paper whites are still not wanted. 



An Elabo-ate Decoration. 



The heads of the Carnegie Steel Co. 

 had a dinner at the Schenley Hotel, 

 Saturday, for which Messrs. Randolph 

 & McClements put up a very swell 

 decoration. Peach trees in bloom 

 screened the musicians, orange and 

 pear trees in fruit, a bed of 2,000 red 

 tulips, a bed of 500 Harrisii, with a 

 large palm in the center, were some 

 of the features of the decoration. Ev- 

 erything appeared natural and repre- 

 sented a Japanese garden illuminated 

 with Japanese lanterns: no other 

 lights were used. Forty cases of 

 southern smilax were used. The Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co. supplied the 

 decorators with the material. 



Randolph & McClements certainly 

 seem to have the facilities for handl- 

 ing swell decorations — the stock, the 



iXpcii'iirv, :iui\ \h<- nun. \'-i~ lUK 

 iheir store, which they rebuilt last 

 summer, you can see their vans and 

 rubber tired wagons lined up to re- 

 ceive their loads, everything in the 

 best of style. 



We have had quite a cold spell 

 lately, and with the trust making the 

 price of coal, the nile seems to dis- 

 appear twice as ffust as usual. Have 

 heard that one of our florists had 

 to get water into his boiler with the 

 watering can, one day lately, on ac- 

 count of city water works being part- 

 ly shut down. When will the florist 

 learn to forestall such vexations. 



BAER. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Trade on New Years day might be 

 compared with a good Saturday's bus- 

 iness. However, everybody was so 

 well satisfied with their Christmas 

 sales that no complaint could be heard 

 anywhere. Potted plants were in bet- 

 ter demand than on Christmas day, 

 quite a lot of lily of the valley and 

 Roman hyacinths in pots being sold. 

 Roses and carnations are coming in 

 to the market in better shape and are 

 expected to improve right along as 

 season advances. Violets are also im- 

 proving in quality and quantity and 

 sell at the old prices of $1 per doz. 

 for Princess of Wales and 75 cents for 

 California; Swanley white and Marie 

 Louise, 75 cents and $1 per dozen 

 bunches. Lily of the Valley is be- 

 coming more plentiful and is nicely 

 grown. Roman hyacinths are of good 

 quality and bring 20 and 25 cents per 

 dozen. White chrysanthemums are 

 still being brought in by the China- 

 men and a supply of them can be seen 

 at most all the stores. 



Notes. 



The window display at Pelicano's 

 on Kearney street, was extra fine on 

 New Year's day. One window given 

 over to Siever's carnations in variety 

 and banked with poinsettias made a 

 fine show of the divine flower. The 

 other window had a bank of roses; 

 among them were some extra fine 

 Bridesmaids and Carnots, edged with 

 Lily of the Valley. Altogether, both 

 windows were catchy and extremely 

 pretty in appearance. 



Some nice Primula Forbesi in 4-inch 

 pots is on sale at a few stores, but 

 goes slowly. Buyers admire its dainty 

 little flowers, but stop when 50 or 75 

 cents is asked for a plant in a 4-inch 

 pot. In a cut state it fares in the 

 same way. The ladies expect to get 

 as much of it for 10 or 15 cents as they 

 would violets. It will never do for 

 this market. What a pity! J. N. 



PEORIA, ILL.— Charles Loveridge 

 did a big Christmas business and had 

 a fine cut of good stock from his own 

 houses in North Peoria. He has a 

 city store at 321 Main st.
