ERIE, PA. 



Trade was good on St. Valentine 's day. 

 Violets were in great demand and other 

 choice cut flowers and potted plants sold 

 well. Pink roses with white lilacs were a 

 favorite coiui>uiation in large bouquets 

 presented as tHientines. Bulbous stock is 

 getting more plentiful. 



Allen Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., and G. Hampton, represent- 

 ing Joseph G. Neidinger, of Philadelphia, 

 were in the city on business last week. 



Erie's beautiful trees are weighted 

 with ice. Many of them have broken 

 down under the strain. Bain, sleet and 

 hail are holding sway. B. P. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



Current G>0unent 



Winter one week and summer the next 

 is what we had for the last month. 



Business has been fair at the markets, 

 if only some florists would take into con- 

 sideration the fact that the cutting down 

 of prices does no good to anybody. Many 

 newly built places are in need of plants, 

 and their owners are wiHing to pay a fair 

 price to stock them. Grow less stock, 

 hold your' prices and you will certainly 

 realize more money. 



The planting of the continuation of the 

 Audubon boulevard, one mile long from 

 St. Charles avenue toward Canal street, 

 has been a big job and has just been fin- 

 ished by the Metairie Eidge Nursery Co. 

 Many large palms have been set out. 

 Lots are selling fast and it will be one 

 of the great sights of New Orleans. 



The florists handling flowers and deco- , 

 rations are certainly busy at this time. 

 Flowers and plants for receptions and 

 balls, given during this season, are used 

 in greater quantity than in 1907 or 1908, 

 and the prospects are for a satisfactory 

 ending of the season. 



Several weddings and receptions on a i 

 great scale have recently taken , place. '

The greatest of the latter was the ban- 

 quet given in honor of President-elect 

 W. H. Taft, at the New GrunewaJd hotel. 

 The floral decoration was intrusted to 

 IT. J. Virgin, who did not have exactly 

 carte blanche, but he made a splendid 

 display to suit the wishes of the com- 

 mittee of arrangement. The walls were 

 decorated with large Areca lutescens, 

 cocos and plumosus, with southern wild 

 smilax. The latter was also used to 

 form a grand canopy over the entire hall, 

 interspersed with thousands of lights in 

 the national colors. Behind the presi- 

 dent-elect were placed two vases, six feet 

 high, each containing 150 American 

 Beauties. The speakers' table and the

other twelve tables were decorated with 

 thirty-six plateaus filled with Richmond 

 roses, mixed with asparagus and maiden- 

 hair ferns. National flags and bunting 

 were used in , abundance to add to the 

 general effect, which was indeed an im- 

 posing one.
