SNOW STORM BREAKS ALL RECORDS FOR APRIL.—MDCH DAMAGE INFLICTED UPON FLORISTS.—STOHM FAR-REACHING IN EFFECTS. Daring the night of Friday, April 19, and all day Saturday, the heaviest snow storm ever known at thislate date raged over Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The snow was wet and sticky, driven by a high wind, and had not been falling many hours when communication was interrupted and the disaster began to be apparent. V. S. Schluraff says that it was the heaviest fall of snow ever known at Erie and that business was impossible; in fact, no attempt was made to do business, all efiorts beings directed toward saving greenhouses and stock. The storm lasted thirty hours and the only thing which saved many a greenhouse was the work of the men in clearing the roof. Many losses are reported from the crushing weight. Dozens of growers were practi- cally without coal and found it utterly impossible to secure any. Fortunately the cold was not severe and most of them were able to avoid serious loss in this direction. Everyone thought that the Easter weather was bad enough but we are all thankful that this latest visitation did not come two weeks earlier. It would have inflicted incalculable loss then. S.
