elegant furnishings of the rooms. The east 

 and west drawing rooms were done in 

 green and white, the combining colors. 

 Easter lilies were the flowers used, and 

 in great profusion. In the east parlor 

 a pyramid of palms marked the spot 

 where the bridal party was to stand. 



AMHERST, MASS. 



As reported in last week's Keview, 

 the new instruction building and green- 

 house range for the departments of 

 floriculture and market gardening, at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College, 

 have been nearly completed, and Febru- 

 ary 22 was chosen as the date for the 

 dedication of the buildings. It has been 

 decided, however, to postpone the dedi- 

 cation, in consideration of the fact that 

 it would be diflScult for florists to at- 

 tend the exercises on a holiday that is 

 so generally observed as is Washington's 

 birthday. The date finally selected will 

 be announced later. 



ERIE, PA. 



The Market. 



We are having some warm days and 

 the snow has disappeared, making this an 

 unusually mild winter. Trade is fair. 

 The pink Killarney is getting to be the 

 most popular rose here, with Bhea Reid 

 a close second. Maids are in good color. 

 Azaleas in all colors are seen in fine spe- 

 cimen plants at present and add much 

 to the beauty of the floral stores. 



Variotis Notes. 



J. T. Cokly, of Scran ton Florists' 

 Supply Co.; Julius Dilloflf, of Schloss 

 Bros., New York, and George F. Struck, 

 of Knight & Struck, were visitors in the 

 city last week. 



The Baur Floral Co. 's window is very 

 attractive with pink Porto Rican mats 

 and variegated azaleas. 



Mr. Wells, rose grower for the Erie 

 Floral Co., will leave for the west in the 

 near future. 



A brother of Arthur Nyberg has come 

 to the front and offers to reimburse all 

 who were recently victimized by the 

 young man while in charge of Mr. Schlu- 

 raff 's store. B. P. 



PLATTEVILLE, WIS. 



W. A. Schaefer, of the Platteville Flo- 

 ral Co., says that it would be impossible 

 to give anything but a good report for 

 the month of January in this vicinity. 

 There was an unusual amount of funeral 

 work and wedding decorations. Carna- 

 tion day was especially good, in spite of 

 the fierce blizzard which raged here. 

 Stock is always well cleaned up and a 

 considerable number of orders have been

Baltimoee, Md. — John Cook, the origi- 

 nator of My Maryland rose, has been 

 under the care of the doctor for four 

 weeks, suflfering with a bad sore throat. 



Albion, N. Y. — On Tuesday morning, 

 February 2, the main greenhouse plant, 

 potting shed and office, and a portion 

 of a new cement house of Julian T. 

 Duquette were burned to the ground. A 

 high southwest wind prevailed at the 

 time. The stock in the cement house 

 was ruined. There was no insurance 

 and the loss foots up into the thousands. 

 The fire started in an unused part of 

 the potting shed and there was every 

 indication of its being the work of 

 tramps.
