The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Apkil 2S, 1904. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



A slight improvement over last week's 

 business is noted. Supplies of .ill flow- 

 ers except Easter lilies have shortened up 

 and prices have advanced slightly. A 

 general cleaning up on all stock, except 

 lilies, occurs daily. The supply is, 

 however, equal to the demand ; the only 

 shortage noticeable is on white carna- 

 tions and white roses. Among the nov- 

 elties airiviug now are giant snapdragon, 

 in white and colors, also some extraordi- 

 nary fine Iris Ilispaniea, which bring 

 good prices. The demand for sweet peas, 

 single datVttdils and yellow daisies is 

 good. 



Various Notes. 



The Kuhn wedding last Tuesday called 

 for considerable fine stock. Charles T. 

 Siebert had (he dceoiation; Mr. Zieger 

 said it was one of the most beautiful 

 decorations he ever superintended. Yel- 

 low irises, yellow giant daisies, American 

 Beauty, Bride and Bridesmaid roses 

 were used in large quantities. 



L. I. ICeff's Sixth street store win- 

 dow decoration last week attracted con- 

 siderable attention: the baby sweet alys- 

 sum in miniature pots proved to be a 

 very paying novelty. 



E, C, Ludwig is receiving some very 

 fine trailing arbutus and candytuft. 



Max Schreiber is sending " the Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co. candidum lilies. 



Visitor: Gust A. Geng, Youngstown, 

 Ohio, Hoo-Hoo. 



We are in receipt of a box of fine 

 lead pencils, each stamped with the 

 name of S. S. Pennock, wholesale ilor- 

 ist, Philadelphia. 



Cle\t:i.and, O.— a bulldog owned by 

 John Travers critically injured a three- 

 year-old boy on April 23. The physi- 

 cians have the dog confined to see if 

 hydrophobia develops. 



Meadville, Pa.— Geo. W. Haas says 

 that Easter trade was very good and 

 that they might have done much better 

 if they had had stock to meet the de- 

 mand for potted plants. He looks for 

 a good spring trade, as much stock wns 

 killed during the past severe winter.
