essay on "Botany, and Its "Use to 

 Gardeners in Their Work." The essay 

 assigned to us for this month by the 

 National Association of Gardeners was 

 "Young Gardeners and Their Opportu- 

 nities in America," by Henry Gibson, 

 of New York, who, incidentally, is a 

 member of this society. Both essays 

 were most ably written. Robert Jones 

 announced that he would give a prize 

 of $5 for the best twelve carnations 

 exhibited at our next meeting.

The Market. 



Pittsburgh recently has had all the 

 different kinds of weather on the calen- 

 dar, but the worst was the rain all day 

 Saturday, February 12. Sunday morn- 

 ing there were six inches of snow and 

 next morning the temperature was 6 

 degrees below zero. Stock is plentiful 

 enough, except roses; there is not 

 enough sunshine to bring them along. 

 Bulbous stock, however, is becoming a 

 drug. Still, the wholesale houses are 

 cleaning up every day and they report 

 trade as good. 



Various Notes. 



The retail storemen certainly "did 

 themselves proud" for St. Valentine's 

 day, in the way of window decorations. 

 Mrs. E. A. Williams showed valentine 

 boxes arranged in so striking a way 

 that each box was a picture. They 

 were not cheap, but were beautiful. 



The A. W, Smith Co. displayed cor- 

 sage bouquets in many styles, includ- 

 ing the miniature colonial styles of cor- 

 sages; also vases of orchids. 



The Blind Floral Co. had valentine 

 boxes and small baskets, arranged in a 

 most attractive way. 



R. J. Daschbach displayed strikingly 

 beautiful basket arrangements. 



Kandolph & McClements have an ef- 

 fective way of using plant arrange- 

 ments, as well as cut flowers, for valen- 

 tines, and they certainly had a busy 

 time. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. find the many 

 styles of tumbler baskets, when prop- 

 erly arranged, to be greatly in demand 

 for St. Valentine's day, as well as heart 

 boxes, to carry the many ideas in cor- 

 sages. 



Miss E. B. Maxwell's force had to 

 work to the limit to keep up with the 

 demand for love tokens. 



All of these people had handsome 

 windows, and in each case the window

Made of Galvanized Wire and
