The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



November 22, 1900. 



PITTSBURG. 



Various Items. 



We have had quite a spell of winter 

 in the last two weeks, which has started 

 up roses and carnations and improved 

 business. Roses are still plentiful and 

 likely will be until after Thanksgiving. 

 The store windows look gay and the 

 chrysanthemum is a good flower with 

 which to decorate them. 



Smila.x is plentiful but it is difficult 

 to procure good Beauties and cattleyas. 

 Romans and paper whites are in. Burki,, 

 as usual, is first with Harrisii, he cut- 

 ting the first one last week. 



Mr. Burki took in the chrysanthemum 

 show at Chicago and is well pleased with 

 his trip. While in Chicago he, with oth- 

 er florists, was taken by Mr. Washburn, 

 of Bassett & Washburn, out to their place 

 at Hinsdale, where everything was found 

 to be in first-class condition, especially 

 carnations, among which Bradt is "as 

 fine as you ean make it," as Burki says. 

 He also visited Wietor Bros.', Rein- 

 berg's and Budlongs establishments, and 

 he says that if Beauties are not plentiful 

 in Chicago this winter it will not be 

 for lack of number of plants planted. 



Mr. Burki also visited friends in 

 Peoria, 111., and looked in at Murray's 

 and found everything in good shape. 

 Mr. Kuhl, in Pekin, across the river 

 from Peoria, has quite an establishment 

 for a small town and is a thorough busi- 

 ness man, pushing things right along. 



Mr. C. R. Leuschner, of Boston, ilass., 

 is laying out a park of fifty acres at Se- 

 wickley for Mr. Boggs, of Boggs & Buhl, 

 the department store people in Alle- 

 gheny. 



Mr. Hostetter, of Manheim, Pa., has 

 been in town this week taking in the 

 show at Schenley. 



Mr. Killen, representing C. H. Joos- 

 ten. New York, has been here on business. 



The weather now is warm again and 

 still favorable for outside work, as we 

 have not had rain enough to wet the 

 ground much. Baer.
