land, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia — as 

 brilliant and successful. He has proba- 

 bly done more than any other grower 

 to make floriculture remunerative. He 

 knows when flowers are needed in some 

 great center and is able to place them 

 there in great numbers at exactly the 

 right moment. This has happened time 

 and time again. Flowers would be 

 needed somewhere. The town and the 

 retailer matter not. The regular source 

 of supply would be inadequate. A 

 wholesaler in the nearest big city would 

 telegraph or call up Mr. Myers on the 

 long distance telephone and the want 

 would be filled. 



Martin Samtman is a genius in the 

 growing of roses for cut flowers under 

 glass. He knows by instinct what they 

 need and when to give it. He never 

 wastes his efforts on things that don't 

 count. He has certain rules, to which 

 he adheres rigidly, yet his success as a 

 grower is not so much due to his rules

Primula Malacoides. 



The brief telegram describing the ex- 

 hibits staged at the Florists' Club in the 

 Adelphia on the evening of February 

 3 did not do justice to the really beau- 

 tiful table of Primula malacoides. They 

 were staged by Clarence U. Liggit for 

 Harry K. Rohrer, of Lancaster. The 

 plants were shown in valentine baskets. 

 They were exceedingly well grown, mak- 

 ing a display that was both novel and 

 attractive. This variety of primula is 

 a specialty with Mr. Rohrer, this par- 

 ticular stock being named after him — 

 Primula malacoides Rohrerii. Mr. Lig- 



git prefers it to obconica. It is charm- 

 ing and it does not poison anybody. He 

 has many of them ordered for valen- 

 tines. 



A Disaster. 



It is with deep regret that another 

 disaster is recorded. It also is due to 

 the snow storm. The twin houses of 

 Joseph Beavis & Son, on Limekiln pike 

 near Haines street, collapsed with the 

 weight of the snow at 5 o'clock on the 

 morning of February 5. The houses 

 are ridge-and-furrow with a gutter be- 

 tween. The snow piled up in the gut- 

 ter until the weight became too great. 

 One house went in. The stock was 

 frozen. The other house was boarded 

 up. These houses are on the north of
