crop which is heautif\illy hardened off 

 with splendid substance and bears 

 shipping much better than usual. 



The market keeps 

 PITTSBURGH active through the 



agencies of the sea- 

 son department store openings requir- 

 ing quantities of foliage plants and 

 cut blooms. The opening of the mil- 

 lion dollar Grand Opera House was 

 also the inspiration last week for deco- 

 rative floral work and congratulation 

 bouquets and formal pieces on a scale 

 never before experienced in theatrical 

 circles in the city. Lilies are coming 

 in more plentifully. Exceptionally fine 

 sweet peas, too, are on the increase, 

 and meet a fair demand. There are 

 also more carnations, as well as quan- 

 tities of tulips which, however, have 

 only a fair market. Roses remain 

 scarce. 



Business has 

 ROCHESTER, N. Y. not been very 



brisk, but the 

 forepart is good. Bulbous stock is 

 very plentiful, necessitating special 

 sales. Carnations are crowding but 

 good in quality. Roses of all kinds are 

 fine, especially Ophelia and Scott Key. 

 Lilies are selling well, but the supply 

 is meagre. Violets are still coming 

 in very plentiful, as are sweet peas, 

 freesia, yellow marguerites, migno- 

 nette and Narcisis poeticus. Pussy 

 Willows are being used very exten- 

 sively in baskets. 



Carnations are cleaning 

 ST. LOUIS up satisfactorily, also 



roses at fair figures. On 

 "clean-up" lots of carnations $10 per 

 1000 has been the prevailing prices. 

 Short stem roses sell at $2.00 per 100 

 in all varieties. Violets are getting 

 smaller with prospects of but few for 

 Easter. Sweet peas are coming in 

 nicely.

CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



The Reading, Pa., Florists' Associa- 

 tion held its monthly meeting Thurs- 

 day, March 7, at the home of J. C. 

 Bauder, with a full attendance. All 

 made a report of the stock they have 

 on hand and the outlook for the Easter 

 trade. The growers reported that 

 lilies would be plentiful. The princi- 

 pal discussion of the evening was re- 

 garding better co-operation. The new 

 idea is for each member to specialize 

 on one or a few plants or flowers. In 

 that manner the dealers can raise 

 their quota to supply the demand. 



A LEADER IN THE WHOLESALE COMMISSION TRADE FOR OVER THIRTY YEAR» 



Shippers of good flowers can find here a steady market for their product, 

 with good returns and prompt payments. Make a start now for the New Year.

KVEBYTHINO FOR THE FLORIST 



Webster, Mass. — The Webster Flo- 

 ral Co. have had all they could do to 

 keep their houses going this winter, 

 with the extreme cold and fuel short- 

 age. The firm is composed of Mr, Mar- 

 tins and Mr. Gustafson, formerly book- 

 keeper and grower, respectively, at 

 the A. N. Pierson place in Oomwell, 

 Conn. They bought the old F. C. 

 Riebe place here last fall and found 

 the heating apparatus inadequate and 

 out of repair but are hoping to get the 

 place into good shape this season. 

 They are planning for a large bedding 

 plant business for this spring. One 

 house of lettuce is coming along fine. 



One of the oldest established florists 

 in this section is Paul Klaber, who, in 

 addition to his greenhouse business, 

 fills the position in charge of the parks 

 and street trees of Webster. He also 

 has suffered from the fuel shortage and 

 closed down two of his houses, which 

 he is now preparing to put into com- 

 mission again.
