days before. However, blooms of all 

 varieties in season were plentiful and 

 there was practically enough to go all 

 around. There was, at the last, plenty 

 of stock and good stock at that, which 

 was disposed of at good prices. Roses, 

 including Eussells, Eichmonds and Co- 

 lumbias, brought anywhere from 50 to 

 75 cents wholesale, while Sunburst, Hilda 

 and the Killarneys ranged from 12 to 35 

 cents. The best American Beauty roses 

 demanded $15 per dozen. The whole- 

 sale price of special carnations was $15 

 per hundred, there being no advance 

 over the preceding week for top-grade 

 blooms. Lily of the valley, absolutely 

 the best stock ever handled hereabouts, 

 demanded from $6 to $12 per hundred. 

 Good Easter lilies brought $25 per hun- 

 dred. There were also a few good early 

 sweet peas, demanding $4 per hundred. 

 Greens continue plentiful, with no ad- 

 vance in price for any of the varieties. 

 Mexican poinsettias, Jerusalem cherries, 

 Lorraine begonias and other Christmas 

 plants were from twenty-five to fifty per 

 cent higher than last year's prices. 



Various Notes. 



William T. Usinger, formerly a corre- 

 spondent for The Review, and a sales- 

 man for the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., 

 is expected home any time from the ma- 

 chine gun service in connection with the 

 318th Infantry in France. Mr. Usin- 

 ger, who for some time was a patient 

 in a hospital in France, has more re- 

 cently been an orderly in the same insti- 

 tution. Howard J. Hook, formerly au- 

 ditor of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., 

 who has been with the United States 

 Ordnanee Department, in Baltimore, 

 spent a few days at home last week, re- 

 maining over Christmas. 



Michael Kronis, who has been a pa- 

 tient in Mercy hospital for the last five 

 weeks, docs not improve so rapidly as 

 had been hoped for. His condition still 

 remains serious. 



The McC'alium Co. is lined up for an- 

 other good year of work. Charles F. 

 Edgar, well known throughout the coun- 

 try as manager of the Alpha Floral Co., 

 of Denver, Col., has been added to the 

 staff of traveling salesmen. Mr. Edgar 

 will retain Denver as liis home headquar- 

 ters, his commercial territory embracing
