Lakewood, N. J., after a serious ill- 

 ness. 



The offices of the Pierson U-Bar Co. 

 are in the Metropolitan building, where 

 all facilities are thoroughly up-to-date 

 and in keeping with the reputation and 

 experience of Mr. Pierson, who is a 

 thorough florist in every sense of the 

 word. 



The carnation meeting of the Horti- 

 cultural Society of New York, held at 

 the American Institute February 14, 

 was a most successful affair. There 

 was a large display of new and stand- 

 ard varieties. F. K. Pierson Co. was 

 awarded a silver medal for Winsor and 

 Outtman & Weber received a bronze 

 medal for Victory. Kobert Craig, of 

 Philadelphia, was the essayist, but was 

 prevented from being present by the 

 death of his mother, who was in her 

 eighty-eighth year. His paper, which ap- 

 pears elsewhere in this issue, was read 

 by Patrick O'Mara. 



The Burnham-Hitchings-Pierson Co. 

 is building six iron frame orchid houses 

 18x150 for the Julius Eoehrs Co., also 

 two large ridge and furrow houses for 

 A. L. Miller, of Jamaica. The company 

 has tripled the oven capacity in the 

 foundry at Irvington. Recently they 

 have perfected the use of trussing in 

 greenhouses, doing away with support- 

 ing posts and heavy purlins. They have 

 also introduced a new gutter, a decided 

 innovation, increasing the waterway, 

 decreasing the shade. 



Last Sunday evening at Arlington 

 hall John Seligman was married to Miss 

 Eebecca Saltzman, the families and in- 

 timate friends attending. His brother, 

 David Seligman, was best man. Con- 

 gratulatory telegrams came from many 

 fn the trade. The honeymoon trip will 

 be enjoyed after Easter. 



Mr. Thompson, of Slinn & Thompson, 

 has returned from his four weeks' wed- 

 ding trip, part of which was spent at 

 his country home near Albany. 



Kalph Armstrong, for many years 

 with Siebrecht & Son, has accepted a 

 position with Wadley & Smythe. 



The outing committee of the Florists' 

 Club meets at the office of Traendly & 

 Schenck on Friday afternoon. 



The National Florists' Board of Trade 

 has added fifty new names to member- 

 ship since Christmas. The organization 

 is doing very effective work.

A few more days to pass and our 

 spring business will open. March is the 

 best month of the year for the sale of 

 plants. After aU, this winter has been 

 very mild. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety had its regular monthly meeting 

 last week. The attendance was good. 

 The committee on the Southern Inter- 

 state Florists' Association made a good 

 report. Numerous replies to our circu- 

 lar have been received and the prospect 

 for a large support is very good. The 

 reports of the finance committee and of 

 the secretary on the final settlement of 

 the last flower show were so encourag- 

 ing that a proposition was made at once 

 to prepare another chrysanthemum show 

 for next falL It will be the main dis- 

 cussion at our next meeting. 



The resignation of John Eblen as 

 treasurer of the society was read and a 

 committee appointed to visit him and try 

 to induce him to keep a position whi<d» 

 he has so well filled for the last fifteen 

 years. 



The result of the monthly exhibit was, 

 in the flowering plants: M. M. de La- 

 pouyade, first prize for begonia; H. 

 Papworth, second for azalea. For the 

 nephrolepis varieties: H. Papworth, 

 first prize with an Elcgantissima; Abele 

 Bros., second with the same variety. 



James Newsham has just completed a 

 new greenhouse 20x100 feet. It is a 



substantial structure, most adapted to 

 the south and to the keeping of pot 

 roses, of which he h&b a great quantity. 

 J. Bolninke has moved his seed store 

 into the house next to his former stand, 

 jae is in the place which was occupied 

 for years by Troshler, the veteran seed 

 merchant of the south. His business is 

 increasing and he says he is well sat- 

 isfied. M. M. L.

The Market. 



The condition of tiade the past week 

 has varied somewhat from former re- 

 ports. Stock has been scarce and nearly 

 all dealers have experienced more or 

 less trouble in filling orders. White 

 and red roses have been the hardest to 

 find and the demand for them apparently 

 is heavier than lor pink. Yellow roses 

 are also very scarce and an inspection 

 of the different greenhouses will find 

 but few being grown. The supply of 

 carnations has about equalled the de- 

 mand. Tulips, daffodils and valley have 

 sold very well; in fact, much better than 

 for some time past, on account of the 

 scarcity of roses. Easter lilies are 

 coming in nicely ani help out wonder- 

 fully for funeral work. Violet sales 

 have been unusually heavy the past 

 week.
