Qub Exhibition. 



The Scranton Florists' Club recently 

 held a very successful exhibition in 

 Guernsey hjill. No admission fee was 

 charged and the public attended in large 

 numbers. The local papers also devoted 

 much space to the show. 



There were a number of out-of-town 

 exhibitors, including the Chicago Car- 

 nation Co., Joliet, 111.; C. W. Ward, of 

 Queens, N. Y.; John E. Haines, Bethle- 

 hem, Pa.; Samuel S. Pennock, Philadel- 

 phia; J. L. Dillon estate, of Blooms- 

 burg; Davis Bros., Bloomsburg; Leo 

 Niessen, Philadelphia; W. J. and M. S. 

 Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind.; F. Dorner & 

 Sons Co., Lafayette, Ind.; Yates Floral 

 Co., Canajoharie, N. Y.; Nathan Smith 

 & Son, Adrian, Mich.; F. R. Pierson Co., 

 Tarrytown, N. Y.; Paul Niehoff, Le- 

 highton, Pa., who showed a fine lot of 

 Aurora roses. 



Among the local exhibitors were T. B. 

 McClintock, G. R. Clark, Schultheis & 

 Co., Marvin k Mnir, William McDonald, 

 of Moosic; Ralph Harwood, of Dun- 

 more; Thomas Arner, J. Wade, Carbon- 

 dale; George Schlingmann, of Wilkes 

 Barre; C. H. Gerbig, of Archbald; E.J. 

 Hull, of Olyphant; William Chalice, 

 gardener to C. D. Simpson; William 

 Clark, gardener to Mrs, H. M. Boies; 

 Fred Hatch and John Hill, gardeners 

 to T. H. Watkins. 



Among the special exhibits worthy of 

 note were a handsome mantel decora- 

 tion, thfi exhibit of Schultheis & Co., 

 and another mantel decoration by T. B. 

 McClintock. G. R. Clark had a table 

 decoration set with handsome china. 

 Near the entrance the Scranton Flo- 

 rists' Supply Co. had an exhibition of 

 baskets, ribbons and other supplies. 



The club has monthly exhibitions and 

 at the end of the season will award a 

 silver cup to the member scoring the 

 highest aggregate number of points. 



For this purpose a standing board of 

 six judges has been appointed, whose 

 duty it is to pass upon the exhibit of 

 each month. The judges are William 



PANSIES 



Scotch and English PANSIES are noted all the world over for 

 their excellence. We have unique selections. 



The flowers are lar§^e, superb in color and grand in substance, 



and yearly selected and improved. 



We do not recommend the flimsy Trimardeau Pansies— size alone is not 

 beauty. 



Try a small packet of each of the following, and and you will 



order largely another season: COVENT GARDEN SUPERB 



STRAIN.' PRIZE ENGLISH EXHIBITION. $1.60 per doz. packets; 



$4.50 per os. 



These are our Noted Special Strains, but we also keep nearly every 

 other variety in commerce. 



TRY also our very special, carefully selected strains of Primula 

 Sinensis Fimbriata, (all var. including the giant strains) ; Primula Stel- 

 lata, all varieties; Calceolaria and Cineraria, very best market strains; 

 Carnation, best and choicest stage and Marguerite varieties; Cyclamen 

 Persicum, all varieties including new color; Gloxinias, etc.

We are the originators of the True Crystal Wax Onion and are ready to execute orders for thii 

 item if placed at an early date. Beware of spurious and cheap seed. If you ask some of the Texas 

 growers their experience in the past years with a cheap Italian-grown Crystal you will certainly buy 

 nothing but our genuine seeds.

ST. LOUIS. 



The Market 



The weather has been fine; in fact, 

 too warm, 90 degrees in the shade being 

 remarkable for this time of the year. 

 Business among the retailers was only 

 fair: funeral work and a great many 

 decorations of plants for spring open- 

 ings of downtown stores. This week not 

 much is looked for until the last two 

 days before Easter. 



There has been and still is an over- 

 supply of cut flowers in this market. 

 This applies to roses and carnations es- 

 pecially, there being an actual glut of 

 these. This also applies to almost every
