ThcWcckly Florists' Review* 



AtBiL 6, 1911. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was about as 

 bad as the meanest person could wish. 

 Stock shortened up considerably, but 

 trade held up wonderfully well in the 

 face of wind, rain and snow. This week 

 is not showing any improvement in the 

 weather to date. 



Various Notes. 



Phipps Conservatory, Schenley park, 

 is busy getting the Easter show in 

 shape and all indications are it will be 

 "the finest ever." The cold weather 

 ^as enabled them to hold their stock in 

 just the shape they wanted. 



Those who attended the big flower 

 bhow are home, to continue to pour into 

 our ears the stories of all the good 

 things we missed — those sweet peas, 

 roses, fine plants, and everything that 

 was better than they ever saw before. 



The telephone has just brought report 

 of the death of William Clory, Coshoc- 

 ton, O., b>ir no particulars. 



Albert Pochelon, of the L. Bemb 

 Floral Co., and Eobt. M. Eahaley, of 

 the Michigan Cut Flower Co., Detroit, 

 Mich., were visitors, stopping on their 

 wav from Boston. Hoo-Hoo. 



NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



The Market. 



Business remains about the same. 

 Flowers are quite plentiful. Carnations 

 retail at 60 cents and 75 cents per 

 dozoii. roses at $1.50 and $2 per dozen, 

 violets at $1 per hundred blooms, sweet 

 ])eas at $1 per hundred blooms, snap- 

 dragons at 75 cents per dozen, callas at 

 $2 per dozen and lilies at $2.50 per 

 dozen. Bulb stock is good. Tulips, 

 daffodils and Paper Whites retail at 

 50 cents per dozen and double Murillos 

 at 75 cents per dozen. Plant trade 

 remains satisfactory. 



Stock for Easter is looking well; 

 there will be some nice lilies here. The 

 street faker was with us again last 

 Saturday, selling at low prices. The 

 last week was quite cold for this time 

 of the year. 



Various Notes.
