The Market. 



Monday, February 6, finds us with 

 one of the heaviest snowfalls of the 

 year; flowers of all kinds are scarce, 

 for with few exceptions we have had 

 miserable weather, the worst kind for 

 cut flower growing, and as a result the 

 wholesale houses are short on stock 

 every day and have their troubles try- 

 ing to fill orders. 



The retail dealers got along pretty 

 well, for most of the demand lately has 

 been for funeral work, and they can 

 make whatever they can get answer 

 the purpose. The fine bulb stock, which 

 can be sold at a reasonable price, will 

 take care of most of the cut flower cus- 

 tomers. 



Various Notes. 



Edw. McGrath, manager of Blind & 

 Bros.' downtown store, reports trade 

 as having doubled this season over last. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams' window of yel- 

 low crotons, Trumpet narcissi and lilac 

 has been a thing of beauty the last 

 week. 



Thos. .Tenkinson, superintendent for 

 A. R. Peacock, has just returned from 

 Canada, where he went to take unto 

 himself a bride. 



Jos. E. Bon sail, of Salem, 0., has 

 just returned from a trip to California. 



The milder weather since the first of 

 the year is causing the rugosa roses, 

 lilac and some other shrubbery to begin 

 pushing out buds and snowdrops are 

 in bloom in Schenley park. 



Walter Paul and Harry Streiff, who 

 have been working for the Alpha Flo- 

 ral Co., Chicago, are back in Pittsburg. 



Frank P. Myers, of Myers & Samt- 

 man, of Philadelphia, was a visitor 

 last week on his way home from the 

 west. Hoo Hoo. 



An item which appeared on page 104 

 of the February 2 issue of The Review 

 incorrectly stated that P. J. Demas, 

 of the Pittsburg Florists' Exchange, 

 had "taken a ten-year lease on a build- 

 ing on Fifth avenue at a rental aggre- 

 gating $500,000." This should have 

 read "a. lease for a long term of 

 years," as Mr. Demas states that it is 

 for a much longer term than ten j-ears 

 and the annual rental does not nearly 

 approximate $50,000.
