WAYSIDE NOTES. 



William Mathews, of Utica, N. Y., is 

 having big success in growing cattleyas 

 and vandas in osmunda roots on bark 

 and intends adopting this method with 

 other varieties. Vanda tricolor, suavis 

 and cnerulea are fine specimens. Blooms 

 bring good prices and are in constant 

 demand. 



Frank Baker, of Utica, is preparing 

 his usual supply of small ferns, which 

 fill up the empty spaces after Easter 

 stock is gone. > 



Spencer & Martin have given up their 

 houses, in Utica, and confine their busi- 

 ness to the store, which keeps them 

 hustling. 



Brant Bros, and Peter Crowe have kept 

 the market in Utica supplied with ex- 

 cellent cuts of roses. Adiantum Crowe- 

 anum was never better than now. 



Dr. Rowlands, of Utica, cannot sup- 

 ply the demand for carnations, which 

 are his specialty. 



J. G. Hatcher, of Amsterdam, N. Y., 

 reports big sales of flowering plants, 

 which made up in a measure for the 

 shortage in cut flowers during the holi- 

 days. He is now wrestling with the 

 problem of good help, the higher wages 

 being paid by the big corporations mak- 

 ing it difficult to get even ordinary labor, 

 excepting at an advanced rate. He is 

 working up quite a seed business. 



A. J. Hilton, of Amsterdam, has no 

 kick coming and believes that returns 

 will figure up ahead of last year. 



J. O. Graham, at Little Falls, antici- 

 pated the demand with an extra supply 

 of pot plants, which are selling better 

 than ever. 



Fred Goldring, of Slingerlands, had a 

 job to keep the Albany stores supplied 

 during the holidays and he says he must 

 double his capacity if the demand con- 

 tinues. 



Sambrook Bros., at Troy, worked day 

 and night during the holidays. Funeral 

 work interfered with holiday business 

 somewhat. 



The forthcoming Knights Templar's 

 convention, at Saratoga, will find a busy 

 man in T. J. Totten, who is figuring on 

 the big contract for decorating. He in- 

 tends giving considerable space to the 

 new rose, Jules Grolez. He is having a 

 big demand for summer blooming roses 

 under glass. 



L. E. Marquisee, of Syracuse, speaks 

 highly of his new white carnation. Mar- 

 chioness, which is even freer than En- 

 chantress. The flower is perfect in 

 shape, even if partly open. -It will be 

 seen at Toronto, if Old Sol will favor 

 this section with a few of his rays. 

 Judging from reports it will be hard to 

 put up a representative shipment from 

 many of the growers. A fine Enchant- 

 ress is here. It seems distinct from 

 Skidelsky's excellent variety. W. M. 



Jackson, Miss. — The Jackson Floral 

 Co. Has been incorporated with W. B. 

 Taylrr president of the corporation and 

 W, J. Brown, founder of the business, 

 as manager.

PITTSBURG. 



Current CotnsnenU 



This city has suffered from the worst 

 combination of weather, since the first of 

 the year, it is possible to conceive. With 

 the exception of two cold days, we are 

 liaving spring temperature, with rain. 

 We had two days' partial sunshine dur- 

 ing December and part of one day the 

 last week, the result being a shortage of 

 good flowers of all kinds, especially roses. 

 Carnations are getting soft and are the 

 cause of complaint when shipped any 

 distance, people thinking they are get- 

 ting old stock. 



Business, however, has been good, 

 cleaning up everything that comes in; 

 but this has been true for the last 

 month and the wholesalers have had noth- 

 ing to complain of. While they have not 

 been receiving great quantities of stock 

 they have been getting large prices and 

 the returns to the growers have, in a 

 way, made up for the shortage in cut. 



The retail men, especially the deco- 

 rators, have been having large innings. 

 Some of the handsomest decorations this 

 city has ever seen were in order last 

 week. Mrs. E. A. Williams, Randolph 

 & McClcments and H. L. Blind & Bros.

had a series of them at the Pittsburg 

 Florists' Club, and as they were carte 

 blanche orders, there was something 

 dbing. They are entitled to credit for 

 not overdoing orders of this kind, but 

 producing the most beautiful effects and 

 each decoration entirely different from 

 any of the others. After having seen 

 these decorations all in the same room
