Tb« Market. 



It rained all day Friday, with an 

 awful wind and rain storm Saturday 

 night, but in spite of that it was about 

 the biggest Easter business that this 

 city ever saw^J^veryone cleaned up, 

 both in plants and cut flowers. It 

 sounds like a joke to hear every year 

 that trade wa»*bStter than ever before, 

 but there is no doubt that as long as 

 the retailers continue to sell flowers 

 at reasonable prices, as they did this 

 year, the business will continue to 

 grow and more flowers will be sold 

 each year. 



The arrangements of plants in bas- 

 kets, seen in the shops, were really 

 beautiful, especially some of the com- 

 bination baskets; they are so well done 

 that it is a wpnder the cut flowers hold 

 up their end as they do. 



Various Notes. 



The shows open to the public at 

 Easter were: The Phipps Conserva- 

 tories, Schenley park and North Side 

 park, and the private conservatories of 

 H. J. Heinz, H. C. Frick and A. E. 

 Peacock. All had grand displays of 

 flowers and were patronized by crowds, 

 especially the park conservatories; 

 their visitors ran into thousands. These 

 shows mean much in the way of edu- 

 cation and our private citizens deserve 

 a great deal of credit for throwing 

 their places open to the public. 



There are a number reported on the 

 sick list. Among them are Allen M. 

 Langhans, of the Pittsburg Cut Flower 

 Co., and Arthur Hall^, of the A. W. 

 Smith Co. 



Ben Elliott, of the John Bader Co., 

 says The Eevie'vt advertisements bring 

 customers; he tipld out cleaner than 

 ever before — seven big houses of Easter 

 stock emptied in one week. This is 

 going some, but, from the activity be- 

 ing displayed by his large force, I 

 would say the seven houses wUl be 

 full of Memorial day stock before next 

 Saturday. The palm and fern house 

 also shows that trade was good. 



W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., celebrated bis thirty-fourth 

 Easter in the retail and wholesale cut 

 flower business. Hoo-Hoo. 



Bedford, Mich. — Four carnation 

 houses, each 34x172, are being erected 

 here by A. J. Stahelin. They are of 

 the Qarland iron^-frame type.
