and the figures on these are in line with 

 the high-cost-of -living idea. Violets ex- 

 perience a good sale, 100 of the fragrant 

 blooms bringing $1. Good flowering 

 plants move easily. 



The retailers are preparing novelties 

 and clearing the decks for the St. 

 Valentine boom, and it's going to be 

 "some" boom, if great expectations 

 come true. 



Various Notes. 



In observance of McKinley day, the 

 H. B. Whitted Floral Co. had a patriotic 

 window display at its Fifth street store. 

 An American flag artistically decorated 

 with carnations formed the center of 

 the window. 



W. Hayden, of the Florist Shop, has 

 had his domain redecorated and im- 

 proved. Mr. Hayden does a splendid 

 business and is well known for his ar- 

 tistic funeral pieces. 



Topnotch tulips and jonquils now 

 come under the knife at the Max Kaiser 

 houses. E. M. P. 



PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



The sunless wcatlier, with excessively 

 cold spells, has been reflected in the 

 general scaroity of flowers. Relief, how- 

 ever, is in sight, as daffodils, hyacinths 

 and tulips are beginning to come along 

 in increasing quantity. There has been 

 no material decline in the prices of 

 roses and carnations. Sweet peas are 

 coming into market in larger quantities 

 and are of better quality. 



Various Notes. 



At tlie annual meeting of the New 

 England Nurserymen 's Association, 

 held at New Haven, Conn., last week, 

 D. A. Clarke, of Fiskeville, was elected 

 secretary. 



Maxwell Villar, formerly with Johns- 

 ton Bros., now is associated with Smith, 

 the Florist, 25 Washington street.

PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh last week had an old-fash- 

 ioned blizzard. The temperature ranged 

 from zero to 6 below, and a good part 

 of the time there was a 40-mile wind 

 blowing. There are no reports of anyone

 been greatly reduced, and that means 

 money now. 



Stock of most kinds has shortened, 

 but the demand has decreased, as the in- 

 clement weather keeps the buyers at 

 home. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburgh delegation has re- 

 turned from the carnation convention at 

 Indianapolis and each of the visitors is 

 pleased both with the convention and 

 with the entertainment while there. 



Mr. Weber, of Oakland, Md., is a visi- 

 tor in this city, but the cold weather 

 has made it uncomfortable for him to 

 go around much.
