Flower Market Reports 



(CottttMut-d from pagt 3 1>) 



disposed of. The same may be said 

 of carnations; they, too. came in so 

 plentifully that they sold as low as 

 $10 in 1000 lots for good grades. Roses 

 are now on crop and are bound to be 

 a glut by the end of the week. All 

 bulb stock is down in price as this, 

 too, is more than the demand calls 

 for. It looks as though the market 

 wll! be even more glutted, as the 

 week opened bright and cold. The 

 first few days in Lent must have hurt 

 some, as the leading retailers say that 

 about the only thing doing is funeral 

 work. 



Washington during 

 WASHINGTON the past week has 

 been favored with 

 various kinds of weather, which alter- 

 nately increased and decreased the 

 supply of fiowers of all varieties. 

 Prices have dropped considerably, es- 

 pecially in the case of carnations. The 

 lower grades of roses fell in value, 

 but the better grades have retained 

 their price and are in good demand. 

 American Beauty roses have been 

 somewhat more plentiful, and the 

 Richmonds have been stiffening up 

 and coming along in much better con- 

 dition. The price on bulbous stock 

 has also dropped materially. Gar- 

 denias are in heavier supply and 

 while Al stock continues to bring as 

 high as $3 per dozen, the other grades 

 can be had for considerably less. The 

 writer's attention was called to some 

 exceedingly line home-grown lilacs 

 which, when placed beside the foreign 

 grown article, made the latter look 

 poor. Not only are the flowers and 

 the foliage better, but the cost to 

 produce them is much less.

A PIERSON U-BAR GREENHOUSE 

 AT PITTSBURGH. 



Our cover illustratiou this week 

 shows an interior view of a green- 

 house erected by the Pierson U-Bar 

 Company for Mr. H. A. Heinz. Mr. 

 Heinz started witli a palm house and 

 two wings arranged after the style 

 here shown, and the results have been 

 so pleasing that he has enlarged his 

 range several times since. 



As shown in the picture, the effect 

 is that of an outdoor garden plot; the 

 paths are grass and the lawn mower 

 is in regular use. Efforts like this, 

 where the gardener throws in a lot of 

 individuality and puts his best into his 

 work, are what help to place a gar- 

 dener in the recognized front rank of 

 his profession.

DURING RECESS. 



The Monmouth County Horticultural 

 Society held its tenth annual banquet 

 at Red Bank, N. J., on Wednesday 

 evening Feb. 25. The dinner was of 

 the usual fine character served at such 

 affairs, and was followed by an elo- 

 quent speech by Howard R. Cruse of 

 Jersey City. Short addresses were 

 also made by some of the guests. 

 Songs were sung by Percy Hicks and 

 William Dowlen and there were also 

 piano selections. An innovation of 

 the banquet was the presence of wom- 

 en among the diners. This will prob- 

 ably be made a permanent feature.
