The Weekly Rorists' Review. 



Febbuabx 18, 1909. 



BUFFALO. 



The Market 



St. Valentine 's day, coming on Sunday 

 as it did, made business good .on the 

 two days. Everything sold well, espe- 

 cially violets, sweet peas and valley. Vio- 

 lets were none too plentiful and were 

 sold at the wholesale house before arrival. 

 Retailers were cleaned out a few hours 

 later. The weather was disagreeable on 

 Saturday and worse on Sunday. This did 

 not seem to interfere in the least with 

 business. Bulbous stock is now plentiful 

 in all lines, but selling well. 



Various Notes. 



The club members in charge of the 

 rose show are busy arranging and coni- 

 pleting the plans for the coming exhibi- 

 tion. 



The results of the recent sale of carna- 

 tions on McKinley day, by the rescue 

 mission, have been announced. Ladies 

 and girls were stationed all over the 

 principal comers with baskets of car- 

 nations. The sales amounted to a trifle 

 over $2,000. Despite this fact, the flo- 

 rists had a larger sale than ever before.

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There was an improvement in business 

 last week. The Lincoln anniversary and 

 Valentine 's day, however, had much to 

 do with it. Roses were more plentiful, 

 but there were not enough of either car- 

 nations or roses to satisfy the demand. 



St. Valentine's day was the biggest 

 ever. This day is getting better every 

 year and will soon be a close second to 

 Easter. The retail stores advertised 

 boxes of flowers for valentines, and one 

 store alone sent out about 1,500 boxes. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



NORTH TONAVANDA, N. Y. 



The King Construction Co. received 

 an order by cable February 13 from 

 Messrs. Richon & Hermes, of Parame, 

 France, for two of their large iron-frame 

 greenhouses. Before deciding to increase 

 their greenhouse plant, M. Richon made 

 a visit to England, Holland, Belgium 

 and Germany to inspect modern con- 

 struction. Two visits were also made to 

 the United States. It is stated by the 

 King Construction Co. that negotiations 

 are in progress for the placing of other 

 orders and that by the end of the season 

 it is expected there will be several green- 

 houses of the King type erected in 

 European countries. 



Des Moines, Ia. — The wind blew the 

 chimney from the greenhouse at the 

 Mitchellville Industrial School, January 

 29. 



Colorado Spbings, Colo. — It is stated 

 the Pikes Peak Floral Co., of which Wm. 

 Henry Evans is president, has had a 

 good year and is planning an addition of 

 about 50,000 feet of glass this season.
