The Weekly Florists' Review* 



JULY 13, 1S99. 



PITTSBURG. 



Business has now assumed a sum- 

 mer aspect. Light consignments are 

 being received and consequently there 

 is no surplus. 



White carnations and white roses 

 are a scarcity. The quality of stock is 

 fair. Up to this writing the demand 

 for stock exceeds the supply and a gen- 

 eral cleaning up of stock occurs daily. 



The retailers report that trade has 

 held up very well. 



The Elks' carnival and fair which is 

 here for two weeks began with an in- 

 dustrial parade. The decorating of 

 floats made demands upon the florists. 

 G. & J. W. Ludwig, A. W. Smith and 



E. C. Ludwig have floral booths erect- 

 ed on the "Midway Plaisance." 



Hughes & Hacke, one of our promi- 

 nent dry goods houses, have added a 

 floral department. Hugo Stoehr is in 

 charge. Mr. Stoehr was formerly with 



F. Welfer, of Liberty Market. 



Mr. F. H. Houghton, several years 

 ago a florist of Pittsburg but now lo- 

 cated in Boston, was here last week 

 accompanied by his partner, F. J. 

 Clark. 



J. B. Ferguson, of this city, has 

 bought the business of Gibbs & Sun- 

 shine, 5515 Fifth avenue. 



I. S. Crall, Monongahela, Pa., con- 

 templates erecting five 85 feet carna- 

 tion houses. 



Bowling. 



Last week the bowlers rolled the fol- 

 lowing scores:

At noon, July 5th, Helen B., wife of 

 Wm. S. Keller, died after a prolonged 

 sickness. Besides her husband and a 

 little son, the young lady leaves her 

 aged parents, three sisters, two broth- 

 ers and a wide circle of friends and 

 acquaintances to mourn her premature 

 death. 



BAY CITY, MICH— John Irvine & 

 Sons have succeeded the Irvine Floral 

 Co. The firm is composed of John Ir- 

 vine, the veteran florist, and his sons 

 John C. and Richard A., both of whom 

 have been brought up in the business. 

 They will occupy the salesroom at 817 

 Washington Ave. and will also control 

 the greenhouses on Sherman street. 



ST. JOSEPH, MICH— Charles Ben- 

 nings has recently added a new house
