The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 1, 1899. 



PITTSBURG. 



Business Conditions. 



The past week has witnessed a de- 

 cided change. Business has been on 

 the increase and a general cleaning up 

 occurred every day. This is also due 

 to the limited amount of stock being 

 cut, caused by the unseasonable 

 weather. 



Brides and Maids and Meteors are 

 quoted from $2 to $6 per 100; Beauties 

 from $1 to $3 per dozen: carnations 

 50 cents to $2 per 100: lilies, $8 per 

 100; sweet peas. 75 cents per 100; 

 paeonies. $4 to $S per 100; annual 

 chrysanthemums, $3 per 100. 



Notes. 



Last week two carloads of potted 

 plants, consisting mostly of the fol- 

 lowing plants: 1,600 geraniums. 1,000 

 coleus, 700 cannas, 1,000 alternanthera, 

 500 coleus cuttings in sand and a lot 

 of other stock, were offered for sale 

 at auction. The large consignment led 

 to speculation as to who the shipper 

 might be. Your correspondent has 

 since learned that the B. & O. Railroad 

 Company had discontinued its green- 

 houses at Connellsville, Pa., and had 

 shipped the entire product to be dis- 

 posed of. The stock was not very 

 good. The sale was advertised exten- 

 sively, but none of the florists partici- 

 pated. Most of the stock went to Ital- 

 ian fruit venders. 



M. Rice, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, was a caller this week. 



A new floral establishment has been 

 opened at 204 Ohio street, Allegheny. 

 It is known as the Allegheny Flower 

 Company. The proprietor is Mr. H. L 

 Hunter. 



At this writing, one day previous to 

 Memorial day. business is very good. 



Last Thursday evening the bowling 

 enthusiasts meet for practice, and fol- 

 lowing are the scores:
