JUNE 22, 1899. 



The Weekly Florists' Review, 



77 



men. The scarcity of good roses took 

 considerable hustling to get enough 

 stock to fill orders. 



Prices on stock the past week were 

 about the same as last week. In roses 

 Brides and Maids were practically 

 worthless, as the majority are badly 

 mildewed and crippled and only a few 

 are coming in with fairly clean foli- 

 age, and these are soft and small. 

 Kaiserins are better and those cut 

 from old plants are long stemmed and 

 fine. Meteors are of fair quality. 

 Beauties are sadly off in color and 

 very few come in. Carnations hold 

 up remarkably well and are quite 

 plentiful. White had a great call the 

 past week, also reds, but the latter 

 are not of good quality, Portia being 

 the best among them. The large or- 

 ders that have been placed for this 

 week at our commission houses will 

 send the price up for the best to $2. 

 Some fine valley was seen last week, 

 which sold well at ?3. 



Sweet peas are more plentiful, but 

 still the price holds up, the best bring- 

 ing 75 cents, poor grades 35 and 50 

 cents per 100. Plenty of good smilax 

 on hand now at $12.50. 



Notes. 



The Connon Floral Co. made a very 

 pretty and neat decoration at music 

 hall (Exposition building) for the 

 high school commencement. 



Wm. Ellison, of Ellison & Tesson, 

 and daughter, in company with Millie 

 Young, left last week to spend the 

 summer months up north. 



Henry Berning is now handling sup- 

 plies with his cut flower department. 

 Henry reports the past season a good 

 one. 



Harry Rieman has closed up his 

 store on Jefferson avenue and is now 

 out among the florists with a petition 

 for a World's Fair commissionership. 



C. A. Kuehn reports that the past 

 season in cut flowers and supplies is 

 better than the last one, with shipping 

 trade on the increase. 



Nearly all the fakirs have gone into 

 the straw hat cleaning business and 

 some of our store men are doing the 

 same. 



E. C. Ludwig, of Allegheny, Pa., 

 with his wife and two sons, are in the 

 city attending the Elks' convention. 

 Mr. Ludwig is vice-president of the 

 Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists' 

 Club, also one of the team of bowlers 

 that will bowl at Detroit. J. A. Peter- 

 son, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is also in 

 town attending the Elks' convention. 



Mr. A. Meyer, who recently recov- 

 ered from a severe illness, says the 

 young generation is all right, for on 

 resuming charge of his business he 

 found that his son, A. Meyer, Jr., had 

 things in as good shape as though the 

 senior had been on deck all the time. 



Bowling. 



The bowling club rolled five games 

 Monday night and a few very good 

 scores were made, still there is room 

 for improvement. Mr. Kunz only 

 rolled two games, being sick. Mr. E.
