The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY S, 19M. 



PITTSBURG. 



Cut flower trade is about the same as 

 last reported— spotty, with occasional 

 large funeral orders, creating more de- 

 mand for white flowers. Roses are 

 still scarce; carnations more plentiful, 

 but a large percentage of them are of 

 the lower grades. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. are 

 handling a large lot of carnations, 

 especially Saturdays, which is main 

 market day in both cities. 



Wm. F. Laueh, of Carrick, is sending 

 in some good Red Jackets, a variety 

 not much grown hereabouts. 



The growers all complain of the Har- 

 risii; more disease than last year. Sev- 

 eral of the growers have discarded 

 them entirely, as the loss amounts to 

 40 or 50 per cent, besides the labor of 

 caring for them four or five months. 



There will be about five or six go 

 from here to the Buffalo meeting. 

 Probably they will have some carna- 

 tion blooms to exhibit. 



We are getting very few sunny days 

 this winter, which probably accounts 

 for the scarcity of roses. 



Several of us have received Scott's 

 Manual and are well pleased with it.

 ter in band. B.

 berg in our last issue the prices of

 1,000. instead of $2.00 per 100 and 

 $15.00 per 1.000. The prices are cor-

A iAcl hilly borne out by its re ord, being equally good 

 with Craig. Hill and myself lan as.surance that it is not 

 a success Ml one soil and a faihire in another) By its 

 havinfi been shown at the flower shows and clubs since 

 early in September (an assurance that it is not a good 

 late carnation but an all season variety.) 



In color, size, fragrance and stem it is just what the 

 "storemen" want. In habit, constitution and freedom of 

 bloom It is iust what the grower wants. It produces 

 more flowers to the square foot than any other known 

 variety, and is never out of crop from September to July. 



With iS.ooo stock plants to work from there is no dan- 

 ger of it being overpropagated, and all orders entrusted 

 10 me will be tilled with cuttings selected from the plants 

 and also in filling the order, by myself, thus doubly as- 

 suring good stoCK. Honest sample blooms lumished
