HAMMOND'S THRIP JUICE No. 2 



Hammond's Paint & Slug Shot Works, Beacon, N. Y. 



Dear Sirs: After trying Thrip Juice No. 2 for two seasons, I can say it is the best 

 article I ever used for thrip on roses or carnations, also for white fly. The latter was 

 the worst pest we had to contend with, but after three applications, about four (4) days aoart, we 

 ^ere practically free from it. I find it is advisable to apply in the evening, and with a good, strong 

 force pump, proportion one to forty. [Signed] T. J. OPPERMAN. Florist.

PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



A week's bright and mild weather 

 has increased the cuts of flowers con- 

 siderably and eased up prices on every- 

 thing except carnations, which are still 

 lidding for the highest prices of the 

 winter. Plenty of everything will prob- 

 ably be the report from now on. 



The local growers have allowed val- 

 ley to be short during the last week, 

 but the supply will be all right from 

 now on. Roses are fine and are get- 

 ting more plentiful every day. Beau- 

 ties are still scarce, but prices had to 

 come down, as even a few Beauties 

 could not be moved at fancy prices. 



The Lenten season is a good deal of 

 a bugaboo among florists, or was at 

 one time, but now the use of flowers 

 is so common that one hardly would 

 know it was here if it were not that 

 social functions are abandoned for a 

 time. However, the florists who sell 

 at popular prices have their inning 

 when stock can be bought at reason- 

 able prices. 



Varloxis Notes. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is 

 busy getting ready to move into the 

 new home, which is almost ready. 



Ed McCallum, of the McCallum Co., 

 is on the sick-list at present. Just a 

 little too much work; a few days' rest 

 will probably put him on his feet again. 



Jos. Haube, of Charleroi, Pa., is run- 

 ning a guessing contest. He offers $5 

 in gold to the person making the near- 

 est guess to the number of peas in a 

 quart jar. Every purchaser of seed is 

 entitled to a guess. 



Randolph & McClements had one of 

 the most elaborate weddings of the sea- 

 son February 16, the Thaw wedding. 

 The colors were American Beauty and 

 gold and about 2,500 Beauties were 

 used. The bride's table was a hollow 

 square 20x30 feet. In the center was 

 a flowing fountain, surrounded by 

 American Beauties. Directly in front 

 of the kneeling stool were large doors 

 leading out to the porte-cochere. This 

 was cleared, floored and decorated to 

 represent an Italian sunken garden, and 

 the effect was fine. Clarke.
