connection with the Alpha Floral Co., on 

 Penn avenue, East Liberty — one of the 

 Kronis brothers' enterprises — and has 

 returned to his home in New York city. 

 Mr. Kleinberg came to Pittsburgh some 

 time before the war and returned last 

 summer following his extended over- 

 seas experience. 



Last week Mrs. E. A. Williams had 

 elaborate decorations for the McKnight 

 and Christy balls at the Pittsburgh Club 

 and the Lyon tea at the family home on 

 Eidge avenue, north side. Mrs. Williams 

 furnished orchid and American Beauty 

 designs for the funeral of H. C. Frick, 

 on the order of the family and of corpo- 

 rations with which Mr. Frick had been 

 associated. 



The McCallum Co. has eliminated all 

 Christmas greens from its stockroom this 

 year. Earl Tipton, head of the cut 

 flower department, left Saturday night, 

 December 6, for a three or four days' 

 business trip to Philadelphia. 



The Pittsburgh Florists ' Supply Co. is 

 handling some exceptionally fine roses in 

 variety, the products of out-of-town 

 consignors. Manager Carney left Sun- 

 day morning, December 7, for a business 

 trip through Ohio, expecting to be away 

 the greater part of the week. Michael 

 Frank Stafford has discontinued his 

 flower shop on Smithfield street and has 

 associated his interests with the whole- 

 sale firm.

The Market. 



Business generally has been good. 

 There has not been a superabundance of 

 anything, but rather a general cleaning 

 up each day. Little anxiety is felt 

 among the growers because of the coal 

 strike, as most of them have a fair sup- 

 ply on hand to last them several weeks. 

 Some handicap is feared, however, from 

 the threatening curtailment of train 

 service, especially as the shipments of 

 potted stock for the Christmas holidays 

 will begin to put in an appearance in 

 about ten days. Providence, for the first 

 time in several years, will have to de- 

 pend almost entirely on outside growers 

 for potted plants for the holidays 

 this year. But, as the dealers have got 

 their orders all placed, there seems to be 

 no cause for alarm. 



Last week carnations were quoted at 

 $6 to $8 per hundred, with fancy ones 

 bringing $10 per hundred. Paper Whites 

 moved easily at $4 to $6; sweet peas at 

 $2 and mignonette at $4, $6 and $8 per 

 hundred. Boses were in demand at all 

 the way from $6 to $i6 per hundred,
