The Weekly Florists' Review* 



APRIL 27, 1899. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



There has been no change of any 

 importance in the cut flower market 

 during the past week. Apparently no 

 special surplus is noticeable. 



The supply of good carnations does 

 not exceed the demand. Srailax is 

 very scarce. Lilies are moving out 

 better now, but the prices are low, 

 good stock selling at $4 per 100. Roses 

 are being received in great quantities, 

 the quality is good, prices ?2 to $5 per 

 100. 



Notes. 



F. Burki of Bellevue is cutting some 

 very fine snapdragon and yellow corn- 

 flowers. 



A clever con-man representing him- 

 self as C. E. Allen, president of the 

 Ohio Clay Mfg. Co., called at Gustav 

 & J. W. Ludwig's Allegheny market 

 stand one day recently and bought |5 

 worth of flowers, for which he paid 

 with a draft for $35 drawn on his 

 company. When Mr. Ludwig hesitat- 

 ed about accepting the draft Allen 

 flashed out his company's charter. 

 After this seemingly satisfactory iden- 

 tification, Mr. Ludwig gave- Allen |30 

 in change, but the draft came back. 

 Mr. Ludwig made some inquiries and 

 found there were others in the same 

 boat. T. P. L. 



SAN JOSE, CAL.— B. H. Bourguig- 

 non has retired from business, being 

 succeeded by the firm of Bourguignon 

 & Delaney, composed of F. E. Bour- 

 guignon and H. L. Delaney. 



CIRCLEVILLE, O.— J. J. Brehmer 

 has purchased the greenhouse of the 

 late James Hurtt. 



ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.— Geo. H. 

 Berke has opened a floral store at the 

 corner of Atlantic and Illinois avenues. 



CORUNNA, MICH.— H. A. Welfare 

 has sold his greenhouses to Mrs. Lyon, 

 of Flushing, who will continue the 

 business. 



CONCORD, MASS.— The green- 

 houses of Daniel Angler were de- 

 stroyed by fire April 16. Loss about 

 $4,000, with no insurance. 



SIOUX CITY, IOWA.— The case of 

 Kinney vs. Elder has been decided in 

 favor of Mr. Elder. George Kinney 

 sued Mr. Elder for wages alleged to 

 be due him for extra work. Kinney, 

 who was formerly employed as florist 

 at the Elder greenhouses, was recently 

 accused of circulating cards which 

 were detrimental to Mr. Elder's char- 

 acter. He was arrested for libel and 

 was bound over to the grand jury in 

 $100 bonds. 



FOR INFORMATION of real practi- 

 cal value The Florists' Review stands 

 decidedly at the head.
