The Weekly Florists' Review. 



FEBRUARY 17. 189S. 



PITTSBURG. 



Trade Conditions. 



Trade for the past week has lieen 

 good. Bulhous stulT is plentiful and 

 meets with fair demand. Judging from 

 the sale of single violets, it would 

 seem that they are liecoming more pop- 

 ular here. Funeral work has been 

 plentiful. Many memorial flower to- 

 kens were ordered for the unfortunate 

 ones killed at the big fire of the Union 

 Storage and Chautauqua Ice Co. planLS. 



Various Items. 



The most noteworthy event of the 

 week has been the formation of the 

 firm of Britenstein & Co., which suc- 

 ceeds Patterson Bros. The tirm is 

 composed of Messrs. Walter Brit';n- 

 stein of Smithfielil. and Walter Flemui, 

 formerly manager of Patterson Bros. 

 Britenstein & Co. will carry on the 

 business in Patterson's old flower 

 stand, corner Market street and Liber- 

 ty avenue. 



At a late visit to the greenhouies 

 of F. Britenbaugh & Brother, at Ben- 

 nett. Pa., your correspondent saw a 

 very tine lot of fuchsias which are 

 worthy of some note. The "Little 

 Beauty" variety, which was originated 

 by them, is again in big demand this 

 season. 



Visitors: Mr. D. Corbin. the violet 

 specialist, of Philadelphia, and Mr. M. 

 Rice, of M. Rice & Co., Philadelphia.

FLORAL CALENDARS. 



We have received froiu Mr. O. B. 

 Long. Btiffalo, N. Y., some completed 

 specimens of his floral calendars for 

 1898, the designs for which have been 

 already described in these columns. 

 They are certainly very handsome. An- 

 other neat idea of Mr. Long's is a 

 small blotter, upon the back of which 

 appears the calendar for the current 

 month. This bears the card of a re- 

 tail florist who has evidently used 

 these blotters for distribution ' to his 

 customers. It ought to be a I'ery ef- 

 fective advertisement, both blotter and 

 calendar being useful and worthy of 

 preservation.

Butted Glass. 



This is no loni:;er an exin-rinient. it has come to stay. Thore 

 are various ways of making Butted Roofs, but the best way 



is with tljo 



Clipper Bar. 



With this bar you can make a roof that is absolutely free 

 from drip, and glass cannot be torn out by the wind. Butted 

 glass makes a tight roof, a warm house and saves fuel. Jt 

 lasts longer, looks betterand costs less than theold-fashinnf-d 

 ruiif. Hut do not think that this is the only bar we sell, for 

 it is not; we furnish what people want and there is nothing 

 in greenhouse material that you cannot get from us, and all 

 of open-air-dried Cypress clear of bright sap. stained sap, 

 knots and all otherdefects.
