COMFORT 



A Seedling of S. N. NERWARTH & BRO.,Eiston,ra. 9!!mx<* 



Parentage, HARLOWARDEN and ENCHANTRESS 

 As a medium-priced **red" it has a very promising future 



From the florex Gardens. North Wales, Pa., where this has been grown on trial, 

 we have a letter under date of Nov. 24, 1911, saying: "So far we like the new seed- 

 ling very much; the color of the flower is fine and the size good. The stems are stiff 

 and the number of blooms to a plant shows it will be a good producer." 



E. J. Weaver, of Ronks, Pa., who has been growing five hundred on trial, writes 

 us under date of Jan. 8, 1912: "So far this season this variety has produced more 

 than double the blooms Beacon has, planted in the same house, and I feel sure it will 

 maintain its lead the balance of the season. It is of a much brighter color than Bea- 

 con, flower as large, with a good stem, and a calyx that practically does not split, 

 not averaging more than one split flower a week from the five hundred plants."

PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Continued cold weather was not con- 

 ducive to good business and there was 

 considerable complaint from the re- 

 tailers. Funeral work was almost all 

 there was to depend on, except in the 

 case of those who have the decorative 

 end of the business; these had charge 

 of a number of fine social affairs, 

 which called for nice work and used 

 up about all the good stock coming in. 

 The wholesalers did not fare so badly, 

 as stock was not any too plentiful, 

 especially roses of the shorter grades. 

 The trade in violets suffered somewhat, 

 as it has been too cold to wear them 

 on the street and that seems to be 

 one of their principal uses. Paper 

 White narcissi, yellow trumpets and 

 short tulips are coming in quantities, 

 with enough lilies to supply the de- 

 mand. 



Various Notes. 



McKinley day is January 29. This 

 is usually a good carnation day and 

 every florist should make an effort to 

 keep up its observance. 



David Fraser says we are misin- 

 formed regarding the Independent Gar- 

 deners' Club and that he has never 

 heard of it and is not its treasurer. 



Coal is one of the principal topics 

 among the growers. The Pittsburgh Cut 

 Flower Co. used forty-four cars of coal 

 during December. 



E. C. Ludwig says he wants all his 

 friends to know he is a candidate for 

 club president and to come and vote 

 for him. 



The A. W. Smith Co. has been mak- 

 ing a fine window display of Cattleya 

 Trianae and other orchids. 



Bay Dashbach has made a number 

 of advantageous changes since taking 

 his new store and now has a really 

 beautiful shop. His trade is increas- 

 ing every week. Hoo-Moo.
