The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MARCH 31, 1898. 



PITTSBURG. 



Exhibit of Florists' and Gardeners' Club. 



The most noteworthy event of the 

 week was the carnation exhibit and 

 discussion of the Pittsburg and Alle- 

 gheny Florists' and Gardeners' Club, at 

 their last meeting night, Thursday ev- 

 ening, March 24th. 



The display of Messrs. H. 'Weber & 

 Sons. Oakland, Md., was the largest 

 and best. They exhibited the follow- 

 ing carnations: Mrs. Geo. M. Bradt, 

 Flora Hill. Mayor Pingree, Mrs. Mc- 

 Burney, Hector, Armazindy, Triumph, 

 Buttercup, Eldorado, Uncle John, Ju- 

 bilee, Daybreak, Delia Fox and a lot 

 of unnamed seedlings; also a sample 

 lot of their new rose, Mrs. Robert Gar- 

 rett. These blooms received many 

 comments. 



Mr. Fred Burki displayed a choice 

 lot of Hector with immense blooms 

 and exceedingly long stem; his Butter- 

 cups and Mrs. G. M. Bradt blooms were 

 much praised. 



Gustav Ludwig exhibited the follow- 

 ing grown by Mr. John Murchie, of 

 Sharon, Pa.: Wm. Scott, Daybreak, 

 seedlings, a fine pink of Rose Queen 

 and Peach Blow, a white of Storm 

 King and McGowan, a red named Un- 

 cle 'Walter, a spray of Dendrobium fim- 

 briatum oculatum, which was much 

 admired. A bunch of Mr. Murchie's 

 yellow Marguerite Etoile de Lyon, 

 flowers measuring three inches in di- 

 ameter, with a long, stiff stem, was 

 much admired. 



Vases of Allium Neapolitanum, 

 Bride and Bridesmaid roses grown by 

 Chas. Hoffmeyer, of Carnegie, added 

 much to the appearance of the display. 



■Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo, N. Y., 

 sent a sample lot of the famous Gen- 

 esee, three new unnamed seedlings, 

 sports of Scott and Daybreak. These 

 were exhibited by Langhans & Co., 

 Allegheny, Pa. 



E. C. Ludwig had the finest lot of 

 Albertini, with immense blooms and 

 rigid stems three feet long. A vase 

 each of Daybreak, Flora Hill and 

 Brunners was included in Mr. Lud- 

 wig's exhibit. Mr. H. D. Roher, of 

 Lancaster, Pa., was the grower. 



Judging from the general interest 

 taken in this exhibit, it is probable 

 that Pittsburg will have a fall flower 

 show. 



Among the visitors here last week 

 were Messrs. H. 'Weber, of H. Weber 

 & Sons, Oakland, Md.; J. McHutchi- 

 son, representing Aug. Rhotert, New 

 York; A. Colijn, of C. Colijn & Sons, 

 Holland. 



Just at this writing your correspond- 

 ent has been advised of several elabo- 

 rate floral memorial design orders for 

 the late Lieut. Jenkins, the Maine hero, 

 who is to be buried here March 30th.
