The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JIARCH 17, 189S. 



PITTSBURG. 



The agreeable weather of the past 

 week has aided business to some ex- 

 tent. Stock is plentiful, but no sur- 

 plus is noticed. At the last meeting 

 of the Florists' Club it was decided to 

 make our next meeting. March 24, a 

 "Carnation Night." Every grower and 

 dealer is requested to exhibit samples 

 of his carnations. Those having car- 

 nations to display for this exhibit can 

 send them to P. & A. F. & G. Club, T. 

 P. Langhans, Sec'y, Allegheny. Pa., 

 who will attend to their proper dis- 

 play. 



At a recent visit to the greenhouse 

 of Mr. John Bader, Mount Troy, Alle- 

 gheny, Pa., your correspondent saw 

 several houses of Azalea Indica which 

 will be in fine shape for Easter. Mr. 

 Bader has made extensive prepara- 

 tions to supply the trade with bloom- 

 ing plants, palms, etc., for the Easter 

 season. 



At the last meeting of the Botanical 

 Society of Western Pennsylvania, the 

 subject of "Botany in the School- 

 room a Natural Factor in Develop- 

 ment." was discussed by Anna M. 

 Deens. of the Pittsburg High School. 



Visitors: Messrs. L. Van Leeuwen, 

 Bulbgrower, Sassenheim; H. Weber, of 

 H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md. The 

 latter showed very fine blooms of their 

 new rose Mrs. Robert Garrett.

BUSINESS CHANGE. 



W. T. Bell, of Franklin, Pa., who 

 has been engaged in business as a flor- 

 ist there for thirty years, has taken 

 two of his sons, John Bell and Philip 

 Bell into partnership, and the firm will 

 be known as W. T. Bell & Sons. The 

 sons have always been engaged with 

 the father, and have been practical 

 florists from childhood. Two large 

 houses will be added, and extensive 

 improvements made this season.
