Nifif Horticultural Co. are all prosperous. 

 Auction sales will begin soon in the 

 plant department. 



The annual ball of the Greek-Amer- 

 ican Florists' Association February 28 

 was the crowning success of this society. 

 The attendance was over 3,000. The 

 decorations, in charge of P. Theophine, 

 were the most elaborate and beautiful 

 ever seen in Terrace Garden. Several 

 retailers and almost every prominent 

 wholesaler in the business were present. 

 The oflScers of the association are: 

 President, C. Sakelos; vice-president, P. 

 Theophine; treasurer, G. Eondires; 

 secretary, C. Thomas; assistant secre- 

 tary, M. Andriopulos; board of direc- 

 tors, Geo. Mitres, Christ Pappas, John 

 Tryforos, Theo. Cardassis, John Strates, 

 D. Soteriades, G. Ranges, A. Stathes, N. 

 Lales and D. Pappadem. Prominent in 

 the society are Messrs. Cotsonas, Fel- 

 louris, Nicholas, Pappas and Lecakes. 



Bowling Scores. 



The following scores were made at 

 the club's allevs March 1: 



The market is loaded with bulbous 

 stock. Roses are in short supply and 

 carnations are about equal to the de- 

 mand. Lent seems to have little effect 

 on trade this year. Valley and lilies are 

 plentiful, but greens are scarce. 



Various Notes. 



E. G. Hill, of Eichmond, Ind., ad- 

 dressed the Florists' Club March 5. His 

 talk on roses was interesting and was 

 much appreciated by the members. 

 There were fifty members present, an 

 excellent attendance, considering the 

 storm that hit Cleveland that day. 



Detroit Versus Cleveland Bowlers. 



The Detroit bowlers came here March 

 1 and bowled three games with the fol- 

 lowing results: 



1st 2n(l 3rd 



Detroit 15.52 1.552 1640 



Cleveland 1548 1029 1637 



Cleveland won three out of four games 

 at Detroit last month. One game was 

 missing in the contest, but out of the 

 seven played Cleveland won four games.

PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Generally speaking, last week's busi- 

 ness was satisfactory to the wholesale 

 flower market. Although the Lenten 

 season made itself felt by the lack of 

 social functions requiring large quan- 

 tities of flowers, the demand was gcod 

 and, while prices dropped somewhat, 

 the volume of business done was good. 



Large quantities of tulips, daffodils, 

 sweet peas and violets arrived, but they 

 dragged heavily even at bottom prices,
