The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FEBRUARY 15. 1900. 



PITTSBURG. 



Springlike weather, frost, tlien rain, 

 ha.s been the order tlie past week, 

 'riiiir.silay it was To in the shade, the 

 ventilators weie thrown wide open and 

 plants stenied to enjoy it; ne.\t morn- 

 ins the ground was frozen a little and 

 the thermometer down to liil. 



\'on Sions and rcses are loniing in 

 more freely and carnations are not at 

 all scarce. It seems queer that we 

 cannot get more than 3. seldom 4 cents 

 lor fancy carnations, such a.-; White 

 Cloud. Flora Hill, Ameiica. Vic'.or, 

 Joost and Bradt outside of holidays. 

 Here in Pittsburg the retailers want 

 something better than the Gieeks han- 

 dle, but do not want to put up the 

 price, so the grower still finds Scott 

 the best paying one for pink and Mrs. 

 Fisher in white. 



If it was not for the pleasure the 

 grower finds in fine large blooms he 

 would not feel like spending money 

 every year for new varietie.-^. 



One of our florists is advertising, in 

 the street cars, $1.50 boxes of cut flow- 

 ers for $1.00. 



Visitors in town: Ringier from Chi- 

 cago, Gasser from Cleveland. 



BAER. 



CINCINNATI. 



Trade has been unusually brisk the 

 past week, owing to several large so- 

 cial events and the funeral of the late 

 Hon. Senator Goebel. 



The monthly show of February 10. 

 with roses as a special feature, was not 

 largely represented, owing to the scar- 

 city of roses. Mr. E. Asmus. of Hobo- 

 keii, N. .J., sent a vase of the cele- 

 brated "l>iberty" and everybody was 

 delighted with it. The flower, shape 

 and color are what have been repre- 

 sented and, judging from present indi- 

 cations, this rose will have a grand 

 future. 



George & Allen made the l)est dis- 

 play in loses; their Maids and Brides 

 were excellent; they also carried first 

 on Meteor, Beauties, tulips and daffo- 

 dils. Corbett & Wilson, of College 

 Hill, were the only exhibitors in vio- 

 lets, Prince.ss of Wales and Marie 

 Louise. Stuart &. Haugh, of Anderson. 

 Ind.. showed a vase of carnations, a 

 sport of Armazindy, named Avondale; 

 the blooms were identical with that of 

 the parent; color shell pink and stem 

 strong and stifl'. 



Quite a delegation of visiting florists 

 were with us at the meeting. J. 

 Schultz, C. K. Kunzman and .1. Coenen, 

 of Louisville; .). Evans and Ch. Nops, 

 of Richmond; Walter Bertermann, In- 

 dianapolis. 



In the evening the boys were treated 

 to a little sport at the Highland bowl- 

 ing alleys and had a Jolly good time. 

 I am sorry to say that but a few will 

 avail themselves of the opportunity of 

 going to Buffalo. R. Witterstaetter, 

 W, Siinderbruch and W. Murphy are 

 going, and perhaps one or two more.
