Flowar Market Reports 



i.CotUinued from page Ibl, 



Business continues 

 PITTSBURGH going right along 



with the exception 

 of "Fireless Monday." Prices for St. 

 Valentine's Day flowers did not soar, 

 although the varieties usually most 

 sought for were not in great abund- 

 ance. Sweet peas, yellow daisies, 

 short-stemmed roses, freesia, daffodils, 

 tulips, roses and violets are at time of 

 writing really scarce. 



The general 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. supply is be- 

 coming more 

 plentiful and trade conditions are im- 

 proving somewhat. The first half of 

 last week shipments continued to ar- 

 rive in a badly frozen condition and 

 rendered the market somewhat short. 

 Roses are selling good and include 

 about all varieties. Bulbous stock is 

 arriving in larger quantity. Sweet 

 peas, freesia and calendulas are here 

 in small quantities. Violets are very 

 good and move freely. The supply of 

 carnations is larger and , prices are 

 lower. 



Springlike weather and 

 ST. LOUIS street car strike end- 

 ing has caused quite a 

 revival in transient trade. Carnations 

 in light colors are plentiful and prices 

 holding up well. Prices are still high 

 and scarce. The violet supply is 

 larger but heavy demands are expect- 

 ed for Valentine Day. Sweet peas are 

 on the Increase. Bulbous stock is in 

 fair supply. 



DURING RECESS. 



Stamford (Conn.) Horticultural 

 Society. 



A meeting of the Stamford Horticul- 

 tural Society was held Friday evening, 

 February 2. There was an address by 

 the president, Henry Wild, and a mus- 

 ical program followed. The West 

 Stamford band gave musical selec- 

 tions and there were a song by Owen 

 Hunwick, a duet by Miss Ledbetter and 

 Miss Emily Foster, a recitation by Mr. 

 Young, a song by Miss Ledbetter, a 

 l)oem by G. B. Cannon, a song by Miss 

 Foster, a song by Mr. Hunwick, bag- 

 pipe selections by Mr. Robinson, a solo 

 by Master Chapman and a song by Mr. 

 Towes. The musical program was fol- 

 lowed by refreshments and each lady 

 present was given a bouquet. Dancing 

 followed. There were about 2oO per- 

 sons present. 



A NEW FLORISTS' SUPPLY HOUSE. 

 Martin Reukauf, for 38 years travel- 

 ing representative of one of the lead- 

 ing florists' supply houses of America 

 and well-known to about every florist 

 from the Atlantic to the Pacific, has 

 started on his own account with store 

 and headquarters at 5th and Callowhill 

 streets, Philadelphia. He will handle 

 the regular standard lines in baskets, 

 ribbons, etc., and with his long ex- 

 perience and intimate knowledge of 

 the florist business will undoubtedly 

 command a liberal share of the best 

 patronage of the country. No one is 

 held in higher esteem than Jlr. Reu- 

 kauf in his line of business, and we 

 hope and expect he will enjoy the con- 

 fidence and support of the trade.
