 head to maintain the equines and they

Mardi Gras at New Orleans comes 

 February 26 and 27. It always brings 

 some business to the Chicago market 

 and usually calls one or two local whole- 

 salers to the Crescent City, combining 

 business and pleasure. 



The ground hog undoubtedly saw his 

 shadow ; but the U. S. Weather Bureau 

 takes straight issue with him and pre- 

 dicts an early spring. 



Hubert Hansen's stock is in good con- 

 dition and there are flattering prospects 

 of a good crop coming. His Guardian 

 Angel, "White Cloud and Higinbotham 

 are very fine. They have had a prosper- 

 ous fall and winter season. 



Work has commenced on an addition 

 which will make the Auditorium Annex 

 the largest hotel in the United States. 

 The space now occupied by P. J. Haus- 

 wirth's store is to be part of a new 

 grill room. Mr. Hauswirth has a lease 

 for two years more and will De provided 

 with a store in the new building.

PITTSBUHG. 



The Market 



We have just experienced a very pe- 

 culiar week, the weather varying from 

 74 degrees above down to zero Saturday 

 morning. However, trade has been very 

 good. Roses still remain scarce and 

 prices have held well. Carnations, while 

 more plentiful, clean up every day, good 

 stock bringing $4 to $5 per hundred. 



WILD SMILAX 



ANOTHER CAR (L. & N. 15,0(6) IS JUST IN. 



We arc strictly HEADQUARTERS for the BEST WILD 

 SMILAX. No better goods to be hadt and a large supply con- 

 stantly on hand. Can fill the largest orders without notice.

Freesia seems more plentiful than ever 

 before and it is impossible to move all 

 of it; valley, violets and lilacs are al- 

 most as bad; good Sprengeri remains 

 scarce but plumosus strings and bunches 

 are plentiful. As a whole, business has 

 been very satisfactory for the whole- 

 salers. Among the retailers they are 

 not bragging; not many large orders, 

 but the regular trade is very fair. 



Various Notes. 



F. M. Stafford, formerly manager of 

 Blind Bros. ' south side store, has sev- 

 ered his connection with that firm and 

 opened a new store at 1726 Carson street, 

 almost opposite Blind Bros.', making 

 three flower stores in the one block. He 

 is thoroughly familiar with the trade 

 on that side of the river, having lived 

 there all his life. His friends wish him 

 success in his new venture. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was a 

 visitor last Thursday and, while here, 

 had an experience which he can prob- 



ably laugh over better now than at the 

 time. Mr. Falconer, who was showing 

 him around, commissioned one of his 

 friends to provide something to eat 

 by the time they returned to the city. 

 He hied himself to a favorite cafe and 

 ordered a dish which is the pride of the 

 house, to be ready for the party at 5:15 

 p. m. The party returned about 5:20 

 and this same man conducted them to the 

 table, expecting the meal to be served at 

 once. After waiting a few minutes he 

 tried to hurry the waiter, who in turn 

 hurried the chef; but the minutes flew 

 until Mr. Hill had to go for his train. 

 Just as he was departing, the waiter 

 came hurrying in with a large platter 

 containing a most appetizing looking 

 supper, but too late for Mr. Hill, who 

 only got a look in and a smell and hur- 

 ried off to his train, leaving two of the 

 party to eat a meal ordered for five. 

 Their hopes are that at some future time 

 they may be able to prove to Mr. Hill 

 that all Pittsburg chefs are not so
