The Florists' Review

GREENHOUSES THAT SATISFY 



When you invest in a new greenhouse, you want the house that will pay you 

 best. You want to consider the durability, the convenience, the efficiency and 

 the cost of the house. Not one of these points is overlooked in our construction. 



Twenty-five years' experience in greenhouse construction enables us to give the best in service, material 

 and workmanship; and the purchaser of Ickes-Braun construction can invest without a doubt as to 

 the efficiency of his house.

The Market. 



A heavy snow last week retarded busi- 

 nes, and with large quantities of stock 

 arriving daily, by March 10 the whole- 

 sale houses were swamped with flowers 

 and ready for a clean-up of any kind. 

 The day was good and the street boys 

 got busy and cleaned up all the accumu- 

 lations. Of course, the prices will not 

 be satisfactory to the growers, but they 

 beat the returns they would have gotten 

 if the flowers had gone to the dump. 



Really, all things considered, business 

 has not been bad for Lent. There is 

 much stock and no special demand. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club held its meeting 

 March 6, and as it was ladies' night 

 there was quite a crowd present. 



John Murchie, of Sharon, Pa., called 

 last week. He is tanned and strong 

 after six weeks of golf in southern 

 Florida — the youngest looking 70-year- 

 old boy we have seen in a long time. 



John Walker, of Youngstown, O., has 

 notified us by postal that he is at Santa 

 Fe, Isle of Pines, visiting his friend, 

 Adam Graham. 



Dr. F. Shafer has presented the 

 Phipps conservatory, Schenley park, 

 with his splendid collection of orchids, 

 said to be worth approximately $10,000. 



The stores have been having large fu- 

 neral orders, and one rarely hears any 

 complaints about "slow Lenten busi- 

 ness." 



John Mitchell, the East Liberty sta- 

 tion florist, is seriously ill with pneu- 

 monia. 



W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburgh Cut 

 Flower Co., for the first time in forty 

 years has been confined to bed. He is 

 back at his post now, however. 



A. W. Smith, Jr., was confined to his 

 home a part of last week by a severe 

 cold. Clarke.
