$3, $4 and $5. The shorter grades, how- 

 ever, are much in demand. 



Cattleyas are scarce, while the de- 

 mand is unusually large. The wholesale 

 price is $1 apiece. 



Flowers of the later season are begin- 

 ning to show up in greater or less num- 

 bers; all are of satisfactory quality. 

 Sweet peas are rated anywhere from $1 

 to $3 per hundred. Calendulas sell at 

 $3 and $4 per hundred, while narcissi 

 are $6 per hundred straight. Although 

 nice and tall, the latter are not much 

 in favor. Marguerites are a little too 

 short to be pleasing; $1 per hundred is 

 asked for the daisies. 



Of the green stock, boxwood, both the 

 tree and the dwarf varieties, is coming 

 rapidly from Virginia and Tennessee 

 and going out fully as quickly at $25 

 per hundred pounds. Winter berries 

 have also made their first appearance 

 for the season of 1919-20 and have a 

 sales disposal of $3.50 per box. 



Various Notes. 



At the recent Heinz exhibition at 

 Greenlawn, the plant of Wells' Late 

 Pink, said to carry 1,000 blooms, at- 

 tracted much attention in the chrysan- 

 themum display, as did also the collec- 

 tion of crotons. Frank Hasslinter and 

 August W. Weber are in charge of the 

 conservatory and grounds, the former 

 having come recently from three years 

 at the Laketon road range of William 

 M. Turner, of Wilkinsburg. For some 

 time past Mr. Weber has been on a farm 

 on Mount Nebo, near Sewickley Heights. 



Superintendent George W. Burke, of 

 the bureau of parks, and Foreman John 

 W. Jones, of Schenlcy park, contributed 

 the handsome floral decorations for the 

 third World's Christian Citizenship 

 conference held in Syria Mosque, the 

 Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial hall 

 and Carnegie Music hall during Arm- 

 istice week, November 9 to 16. 



Frank Ludebacher, who came to Pitts- 

 burgh some time ago to supervise the 

 remodeling of the old Thaw place, Lynd- 

 hurst, on Beechwood boulevard, now the 

 property of Emil Winter, has returned 

 east to become superintendent of Mr. 

 Untermeyer 's estate, Greystone, at Grey- 

 stone-on-the-Hudson. He was accom- 

 panied by Anthony Aloysius Leach, who

The QUANTITY and QUALITY of the stcck is beyond 

 comparison. 



The EXPRESS SERVICE from CHICAGO is the BEST. 



It is because of our large supply of cut flowers with that 

 of the larger supply in the market as a whole that thousands 

 of retail florists operate a Retail Store without the inrest-
