The Weekly Florists' Review. 



JUNE 29, 1899. 



PITTSBURG. 



Various Items. 



Since my last report business has 

 continued good. Much stock was used 

 for wedding decorations and com- 

 mencement exercises. While the pre- 

 senting of flowers at commencements 

 in this city has been almost wholly 

 discontinued, it seems to have been 

 taken up at the schools in the neigh- 

 boring towns. 



The firm of J. H. Orth & Co., of Mc- 

 Keesport, Pa., composed of J. H. Orth 

 and Thomas Behn, has failed. Their 

 store and stock have been levied on by 

 the sheriff on an execution. Liabili- 

 ties, about $1,200; assets, nominal. 



Mr. Sam McClements, of Randolph 

 & McClements, the East End florists, 

 will leave shortly for several months' 

 stay in Ireland. 



Mr. Christ Wall, with John Baker, 

 of Allegheny, has sailed for Germany. 

 These frequent trips abroad of our lo- 

 cal florists give rise to an impression 

 that there is money in the retail florist 

 business. 



Wm. Cassiday, with Elliott & Ulam 

 was married last Thursday. The con- 

 gratulations of the trade are his. 



Mr. Geo. Oesterle, of Randolph & 

 McClements, has been confined to his 

 home with an attack of sciatic rheu- 

 matism, but is now able to be about. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co., Lim- 

 ited, has issued a neat and attractive 

 price list of florist supplies. 



The Botanical Society of Western 

 Penna, will hold their regular month- 

 ly meeting next Thursday evening, 

 July 6th. 



The writer wishes to remind the 

 members of the Pittsburg and Alle- 

 gheny Florists' and Gardeners' Club 

 to attend the next meeting to be held 

 Thursday evening, July 13th, at the 

 store room of the Pittsburg Cut Flow- 

 er Co., Ltd., 705 Penn avenue, Pitts- 

 burg. T. P. LANGHANS. 



SPEGIAL TAX ON GREENHOUSES. 



The City Fathers of this place have 

 seen fit in their extreme wisdom to 

 place a special tax on greenhouses, and 

 we don't like it. Now do you know of 

 any just reason why this tax should or 

 should not be paid? Any light that 

 you may be able to shed on this sub- 

 ject will be thankfully received. Has 

 this question ever been taken to the 

 Supreme Court of any State or to the 

 U. S. Courts? Is there a special tax 

 on the business collected in any town 

 or city? J. W. C. D. 



[We have never before heard of a 

 special tax on greenhouses. Have any 

 of the other readers of The Review?

THE CLASSIFIED ADVS. 



"To save time is to lengthen life," 

 they say; therefore, as the subscribers 

 to The Review don't have to look so 

 Jong to find what they want, they 

 ought to live long, etc. I. A. B.
