ister with the secretary. Letters have 

 been received from several out of town 

 florists stating their intention to be 

 present. It is expected that the show 

 will be well worth seeing this year.

The Market 



The cut flower business was at its 

 best the first of the week and the closing 

 days of the season were all that could 

 be expected, but with the first day of 

 Lent the change was noticeable and 

 prices commenced to decline slightly. 

 However, the last few years the Lenten 

 season has not been the great bugaboo 

 which it was in former years; in fact, 

 the last two years, there were more 

 flowers used, only at cheaper prices, than 

 immediately before Lent. Stock of all 

 kinds is becoming more plentiful every 

 day and we must expect that values will 

 decline. 



Variotis Notes. 



Geo, A. McWilliams, of Natrona, lias 

 bought a farm of seventy-five acres, all 

 underlaid with coal, back of Tarentum. 

 He expects to put up a range of houses 

 this summer for growing cut flowers. 

 The great number of mills and manu- 

 factories which are coming into his 

 vicinity are making too much smoke to 

 grow cut flowers. 



The beginning of Lent does not seem 

 to bother Blind Bros., as they worked 

 day and night on funeral work during 

 the last of the week. 



Miss Agnes L. Wells, of Steubenville, 

 Ohio, sailed Monday with a party of 

 friends for a six months' trip through 

 Europe. 



E. C. Ludwig's stand in the Alle- 

 gheny Market is a thing of beauty these 

 days. Ernest makes a great show and 

 has everything that is in the market in 

 sight. 



W. D. Faulk, of McKees Eocks, would 

 like to dispose of his McKees Eocks 

 store, as his other business is now taking 

 all his time. 



The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange is 

 preparing to move into new quMi;ers 

 in the very near future. 



Tuesday will be rose night at the 

 Florists' Club. 



H. Glenn Flemming, of Fairmont, 



W. Va., has a novel feature in connec- 

 tion with his place. He has a range of 

 eight greenhouses and directly under the 

 greenhouses is a coal mine, the entrance 

 to which is from the boiler rooms. His 

 night man digs the coal and hauls it out 

 during the night. He also has a car 

 arranged to hold the vases of flowers 

 which are loaded on the car and run 

 into the mine instead of into a re- 

 frigerator, and claims he can keep 

 stock, when necessary, twice as long as 

 in refrigerators and have it in much 

 better condition. 



Wm. Lauch is shipping the cut of 

 his New Galilee place to the Pittsburg 

 Cut Flower Co. 



J. B. Murdock & Co. are handling 

 some very good roses and carnations. 



Dutch bulb growers are very much in 

 evidence these days, but the growers 

 are a little shy, 



Geo. L. Huscroft opened his new store, 

 114 North Fourth street, Steubenville, 

 O., last Saturday, He has an elegant, 

 large room. The prevailing color is 

 dark green with palm decorations on the 

 wall. The effect is beautiful and the 

 store is strictly up to the requirements 

 of a first-class city flower shop.
