fields of the Philadelphia Cut Flower 

 Co. will be in full crop next week. 



B. Eschner, of the M. Eice Co., 

 ■writes from Europe that "the flower 

 shops of America have Europe beaten. 

 It would be a poor place for a supply 

 Louse, as they use scarcely anything 

 but crepe paper, but they have a unique 

 way of running it up the stems and 

 branches of plants that looks well." 



Ford & Kendig Co. has removed its 

 main office from Twenty-fourth and 

 Wood streets to 27 North Seventh 

 street. The warehouses will remain at 

 Twenty-fourth and Wood streets. 



The first letters from H. Bayersdor-

The Market. 



Pittsburgh had a good rain in the 

 early part of last week and since then 

 bas had the finest kind of cool spring 

 weather. Almost' all kinds of shrub- 

 bery, such as syringas, philadelphus and 

 weigelas, are in bloom. German iris 

 and early peonies are also in flower. In 

 fact, almost everything which usually 

 comes ten days later is at its best, and, 

 should we have a warm week, outdoor 

 stock may be scarce locally for Deco-

ration day. The late frosts hurt stock 

 in some places, including many of the 

 peonies, and considerable fruit is re- 

 ported lost. 



The wholesalers are handling im- 

 mense quantities of stock, such as peo- 

 nies, double white narcissi, miniature 

 gladioli and sweet peas. The large 

 crop of roses and carnations has a 

 tendency to keep down prices, and the 

 firms are glad to clean up at any price. 

 Beauties also suffered last week. The 

 retail stores nearly all handle bedding 

 plants and, though it is still early, there ' 



are many people who must get their 

 beds planted even if they do suffer 

 from the cold nights. As stock is 

 cheaper in the cut flower line, there are 

 more purchasers and large quantities 

 are moved. 



The plantsmen are just as busy as 

 they can be and the stock is selling 

 at the same old figures, as there never 

 seems to be any change in prices in 

 the plant end of the game, except in the 

 case of an occasional dealer who cuts 

 his prices in order to clean up quickly, 

 and it is doubtful whether that is good
