The Weekly Florists' Review*

The Market 



The market has been flooded with 

 stock the past week. The bright weather 

 has brought in probably the worst glut 

 this city has ever seen. We are getting 

 more home-grown stock every year and 

 the increased number of wholesalers 

 brings in an increased quantity from' the 

 outside, and the market at a time like 

 this cannot possibly make use of all the 

 receipts. While trade is as good as it 

 ever is at this season, and as much or 

 more stock than ever used, it does not 

 make an impression on the quantity 

 coming in. Best Beauties are selling at 

 $3 per dozen, tea roses and carnations 

 at buyers' prices, and bu}bous stock you 

 cannot give away. Trumpets and daffo- 

 dils are in bloom in the gardens. 



Various Notes. 



Jos. Jordan, one of the old green- 

 house men of this section, who has been 

 supplying many of the retailers with 

 ferns, died suddenly March 28. 



E. E. Allen, of Blairsville, died last 

 Monday. 



Wm. Lauch, of Carrick, lost his barn 

 by fire last Wednesday night. The horses 

 and wagons were saved. 



Ed. McGrath, of Breitenstein & 

 Flemm, is looking pleasant these days. 

 It is a boy. 



Superintendent Wm. Hamilton, of the 

 Allegheny parks, is preparing for the 

 annual Easter flower display at the 

 Phipps conservatory. Central park, and 

 expects to have a larger and more beau- 

 tiful display than usual, owing to the 

 lateness of Easter. Tulips already are 

 several inches above the ground and all 

 bulbous flowers are expected to be in 

 full bloom by April 20. 



The private conservatories of A. R. 

 Peacock, Highland and Wellesley ave- 

 nues, and H. C. Frick, Penn and Home- 

 wood avenues, will be thrown open to 

 the public on April 9. In the latter con- 

 servatory there will be a large display of 

 orchids. 



Justus Mulert, trustee in bankruptcy 

 for Thomas M. Ulam, presented a peti- 

 tion in the United States district court 

 for the confirmation of the sale of the 

 entire stock and fixtures of the store to 

 William M. Turner, a florist at 809 Penn 

 avenue, Wilkinsburg. Turner bought 

 everything for $500 cash. The sale was 

 confirmed. Hoo-Hoo. 



The Review is eagerly looked for and 

 a welcome visitor every • Saturday. — Jas.
