The Weekly Florists' Review. 



OCTOBER 27, 



PITTSBURG. 



In the Conclave of the Knights 

 Templar, Oct. llth-14th. Pittsburg had 

 its first opportunity to show her ability 

 to fittingly entertain many thousand 

 visitors. That she has acquitted her- 

 self with honor is the universal opin- 

 ion. The street decoration, especially, 

 the electric displays, it is admitted, 

 were never surpassed at any previotis 

 conclave. In some respects the con- 

 clave was a disappointment to the lo- 

 cal florists. They had anticipated a 

 large transient trade but were disap- 

 pointed. The social events were so 

 numerous and so largely attended that 

 in the great excitement and hurry 

 flowers were not in great favor. And to 

 make matters worse, the conclave gave 

 no opportunity for the usual social 

 ■events. 



The floral decorations at various 

 Commandery headquarters, at all 

 places where the social events took 

 place, were elaborate and in every 

 way satisfactory. A fair estimate of 

 these official floral and palm decora- 

 tions places the cost at about tea 

 thousand dollars. 



The bulk of the orders for these 

 decorations were placed with Messrs. 

 Elliott & Ulam, .5th Ave. Florists. The 

 largest individual decoration was that 

 furnished by Mrs. E. A. Williams, Car- 

 son street, for the Pittsburg Com- 

 mandery, No. 1, at Pittsburg High 

 School. For this decoration 130 cases 

 of Southern Wild Smilax alone were 

 used. 



Mr. John Bader, Mount Troy. Alle- 

 gheny, furnished the decoration for 

 the Allegheny commandery, in the 

 auditorium of the Carnegie Library 

 building: this decoration presented a 

 very beautiful appearance. 



The table decorations at the grand 

 banquet were furnished by Messrs. A. 

 W. Smith and Elliott S- Ulam jointly. 



The area way in the Allegheny 

 County Court House was converted in- 

 ■ to a large ball room, the palm and 

 laurel decorations of this were furn- 

 ished by Elliott & Ulam. A palace and 

 grand ball room were combined in 

 this place and it was a wonderful reve- 

 lation to the visitors. At all the vari- 

 ous headquarters palm and floral deco- 

 rations were used. T. P. L. 



LAFAYETTE, IND. 



Miss Anna Dorner. daughter of Mr. 

 Fred Dorner. was married to Mr. Fred 

 E. Hudson, Oct. 19. Mr. Hudson is in 

 the employ of F. Dorner & Sons Co., 

 and the young couple will make their 

 home with the bride's father. Mrs. 

 Hudson will continue her connection 

 with her father's business. 



The wedding was purely a family af- 

 fair, but the following evening there 

 was a gathering of the employees of 

 the firm at Mr. Dorner's house and the 

 happy event was duly celebrated. 

 . The young couple will have the best 

 wishes of a host of friends for a long 

 and happy life together.
