 Oreen or any other powdery substance. Does the work evenly, so every 

 leaf receives Its due proportion, without any belnff wasted. By using 

 the Peerless, a 2UU-ft. greenhouse can be perfectly powdered In less 

 than five minutes. Florists say: 



"It's a sreat Improvement over the bellows."

PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Stock has been coming in Avonderfully 

 well, considering the severely cold 

 weather that has prevailed. Roses and 

 carnations are increasing in supply. 

 Sweet peas and bulbous llowers of all 

 kinds are in abundance. Business has 

 been satisfactory, there having been a 

 clean-up practically every day. 



The retailers report that the cold 

 spell cut down the sale of cut flowers, 

 but that there were enough decorative 

 orders to offset this somewhat. 



The stores report only a fair St. Val- 

 entine's day business, the extremely 

 cold weather of the day acting as a 

 damper on the sales and, in some sec- 

 tions, causing a falling off from last 

 year's total. Violets were not nearly so 

 popular as those of any previous St. 

 Valentine 's day, when they really were 

 the principal flowers of the day. Stock 

 now is cleaned up each day at the whole- 

 sale houses. 



Various Notes. 



If. Sclical', manager for Mrs. E. A, 

 Williams, has the sympathy of his 

 friends in his bereavement in the death 

 of his mother. 



Mr. and Mrs. T. Malbranc, of Johns- 

 town, Pa., spent February ]3 in Pitts- 

 burgh. Walter Mott also was a visitor. 



R. E. Blackshaw, representative of 

 the A. L. Randall Co., Chicago, has been 

 confined to his room at the hotel by a 

 rheumatic fever, ])ut is now recovering. 



Dean Hill has opened a store at 6137 

 Penn avenue in connection with a con- 

 fectionery business. 



John Mitchell, the Union station flo- 

 rist, has loturnod from I'tica, N. Y., 

 wliere he and others celebrated his en- 

 gagement to be married. Mr. Mitchell 

 will become a benedict shortly after 

 Easter. Clarke. 



NEWARK, N. J. 



The Market. 



T^ast week saw another increase in 

 the volume of the bulbous stock. The 

 quality of tulips and jonquils is im- 

 jiroving. Sweet ]ieas also are better, 

 having long, strong stems and large 

 blooms. Carnations now are unusually 

 good and (|uite plentiful. White lilacs 

 are arriving in fair (juantities. Roses 

 are good and fairly abundant. The 

 price of roses keeps up well; in fact, 

 the same may be said of prices of flow- 

 ers in general, though there has been & 

 tendency toward lower prices since the 

 arrival of larger quantities of bulbous 

 flowers. Many of the growers are plan- 

 ning for a big supply of pot plants for 

 the spring trade, geraniums being grown 

 in extra large numbers.
