The Market. 



The market showed little change dur- 

 ing the week. Large quantities of 

 bulbous stock continue to come in 

 daily. Valley is plentiful and the de- 

 mand is limited. Orchids are also 

 plentiful and are being offered at 

 attractive prices. Some good roses 

 are coming in, such as Premier, 

 Pilgrim, Ophelia, White Cook, Co- 

 lumbia, Bichmond and Crusader. They 

 are being cleaned up daily. The 

 supply of carnations is increasing, but 

 the demand still exceeds the supply. 

 Each day finds the wholesale houses 

 cleaned up in carnations. American 

 Beauties are also a little more plentiful) 

 especially in the shorter grades. 



Daily shipments of sweet peas and 

 violets are being received and have 

 been moving fairly well. The demand 

 for Easter and calla lilies far exceeds 

 the supply. Pussy willows are still a 

 special feature and are moving slowly. 

 Calendulas and yellow daisies are ar- 

 riving in small quantities. 



There has been really no decided 

 change in prices and it is hoped that 

 the production of roses and carnations 

 will continue to increase. Business 

 during the last week has been excep- 

 tionally good, some florists reporting 

 several large funeral orders. 



Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Retail 

 Florists' Association was held Thurs- 

 day evening, March 3, at the Seventh 

 Avenue hotel. An attractive program 

 was arranged. The McCallum jazz or- 

 chestra played several selections while 

 dinner was served. Ira Harper, chair- 

 man of the association, called the meet- 

 ing to order and, after the reading of 

 the minutes and reports from commit- 

 tees, Mr. Harper brought to the at- 

 tention of the florists the method being 

 used in connection with the advertising 

 campaign. An advertisement will ap- 

 pear in each Pittsburgh morning news- 

 paper every second week during the 

 year. There was considerable discus- 

 sion about having these advertisements 

 appear in the evening papers, but no 

 action was taken. 



G. 'Wessenaucr, of Sewickley, Pa., 

 made a 4-minute speech on street ped- 

 dlers and the glut which overtakes the 

 wholesalers and growers at various 

 times during the year. He also sug- 

 gested that every florist present give 

 a little talk in order that these meet- 

 ings be made beneficial to all.
