The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Mabcb 28, 1912. 



ST. NICHOLAS 



You should plant Si. Nicholas next season BECAUSE: — 



It covers the whole season with top grade blooms. 



It does not crop, nor go o£f in color at any time from September to July. 



It is a great keeper and shipper. 



It outsells all other scarlets over the counter. 



It has been bringing us from 35 to 50 per cent more all season, than the best Beacon we 

 ever grew. 



Many growers have come to see it growing, and then placed their orders. 



A number of them placed orders early, then came to see it and doubled the original order. 



We can still give you cuttings that will make fine stock for blooming next winter. But 

 let's have your order at once. 



$12.00 per lOO; $100.00 per lOOO 



We have 2000 fine plants of Beacon in 2-inch pots to sell at $3.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 

 Also cuttings in sand, strong and well rooted, $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000.

PITTSBUEOH. 



The Market. 



Last week was typical of Lent; 

 plenty of flowers and low prices. Lilies 

 and Beauties seemed to get the worst of 

 it as far as price was concerned, but 

 everything cleaned up by Saturday 

 night at some price. 



The retailers are making quite a 

 show of blooming plants, which is not 

 doing the cut flower end any good, as 

 one can get a pretty pot of bloom from 

 50 cents to $2 and, as they have not 

 been so common, they catch the fancy 

 of the flower buyers. 



Various Notes. ~ 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Exchange is 

 busy moving into its new quarters in 

 Oliver avenue above Wood street. 



The flood gave Mrs. E. A. Williams a 

 scare last week. As she had just fin- 

 ished redecorating her store for spring, 

 the promise of a 30-foot flood was not 

 pleasant, but it stopped at twenty-eight 

 feet and did not reach the store, al- 

 though the cellar was filled. 



The John Bader Co. reports having 

 the finest lot of azaleas ever offered for 

 Easter, and they will be just right. 



The committee reports arrangements 

 for Prof. John Brashear's lecture as 

 progressing. It will be given in the 

 English room, Fort Pitt hotel, Monday 

 evening, April 15, at 8 p. m. Lunch will 

 be served after the lecture. 



Visitors: Miss Agnes L. Wells and 

 Miss Jane McDowell, of Steubenville, 

 O., and W. D. Fischer, New Castle, Pa.
