PITTSBURG. 



Trade Review. 



Considering tlie season. Inisiness 

 continues fair and steady; stoclc is 

 coining in nicely to meet tlie demand. 

 Smilax and Asparagus continue scarce. 

 Prices on other stocli are firm. 



The Florist Club. 



The last meeting ^'f Ihe Florists' 

 Club was a most interesting one — in 

 fact an informal flower show. The 

 members were requested to exhibit 

 their finest specimens, new varieties, 

 etc., at this meeting. In addition to 

 this, through the kindness of Mr. 

 Thomas W. Lawson, the club had the 

 pleasure and satisfaction of inspecting 

 the much discussed Lawson carnation. 

 The famous carnation called forth 

 much interest and admiration among 

 the club members and the general pub- 

 lic. The flowers were exhibited at 

 the store room of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., Ltd.. and hundreds called 

 to view them; and all agreed in pro- 

 nouncing them the finest carnation 

 that they have ever seen. 



Another exhibit greatly admired was 

 a bunch of Admiral Dewey roses, sent 

 by Mr. John H. Taylor, of Bayside, N. 

 Y. Mr. Fred Burki, of Bellevue, Pa., 

 displayed a lot of carnations most 

 worthy of note, including Hector, Ar- 

 gyle, Mrs. Frances Joost. Mrs. Jas. 

 Dean, New York, Flora Hill, Butter- 

 cup, White Cloud, Victor, Edna Craig, 

 Mrs. McBurney. Albertini and a sport 

 of Armazindy which attracted consid- 

 erable attention. 



A vase of fine Maids and Brides with 

 28 to 36-inch stems were exhibited by 

 Conrad Blind; these were indeed prize 

 winners. Uncle Walter, Flora Hill 

 and Lizzie McGowan, grown by John 

 Murchie, of Sharon, Pa., were dis- 

 played by Gustave Ludwig. E. Mc- 

 Connell, of Sharon. Pa., sent a lot of 

 seedling No. o-1897-pedigree— Rose 

 Queen on Daybreak. Mr. McConnell 

 claims it to be of a strong, vigorous 

 growth, better bloomer than Daybreak 

 and will retain its color better. 



Mr. Chas. T. Siebert showed a lot 

 of the new variegated fancy carnation 

 Sandusky sent by W. E. Hall. Clyde, 

 Ohio. E. C. Ludwig exhibited a vase 

 of carnations consisting of Jubilee, 

 Mrs. Bradt, Bon Ton and Flora Hill. 



Several members who attended the 

 Carnation Society meeting at Phila- 

 delphia informed the wrijer that, with 

 all due respect to the ' Philadelphia 

 Show, it did not contain anything finer 

 than some of the specimens exhibited 

 at this meeting.
