The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



MAY 12, 1S98. 



PITTSBURG. 



Business continues stationary- A 

 surplus in roses being noticed. Carna- 

 tions are now niucli more plentiful. 



A window decoration of Messrs. 

 Britenstein & Flemm attracted much 

 attention last week. It was a ribbon 

 decoration in patriotic colors, simple 

 but very effective. 



Britenbaugh & Bro., of Bennett, Pa., 

 contemplate the erection of a large 

 addition to their already extensive 

 plant. The addition will be used as a 

 carnation house. 



Mr. Robert Faulk, a well known 

 florist of this locality, who has been 

 seriously ill, is reported to be improv- 

 ing. 



The Pittsburg and Allegheny parks 

 are aglow with tulips; the varieties 

 and colors have been used to good ad- 

 vantage. 



Prof. B. H. Patterson, of the Pitts- 

 burg Central High School, discussed 

 "Plants of Historic Interest" before 

 the Botanical Society of Western 

 Pennsylvania last Thursday evening. 

 May 5. 



James C. Hamilton, son of Superin- 

 tendent William Hamilton of the Alle- 

 gheny parks, has enlisted in Roose- 

 velt s regiments of cowboys. 



Mr. W. H. Elverson, of the Pittsburg 

 Clay Mfg. Co., of New Brighton, Pa., 

 reports that a conflagration on the 

 night of May 3 totally consumed plant 

 No. -i, formerly owned by the Schoen- 

 field Pottery Co. The loss will be 

 about $oO,0(X>, partially insured. Mr. 

 Elverson says that the fire will not 

 prevent them from filling their orders 

 promptly. 



Fred Burki is sending some very fine 

 out-door valley to market. 



While the meetings of our Florist 

 Club have been of an interesting char- 

 acter, and while the club is of no little 

 use to its members, there seems to be 

 room for improvement in the matter 

 of attendance. The last few meetings 

 were poorly attended. In view of the 

 tact that arrangements for a fall 

 flower show and banquet are under 

 way, the officers of the club hope for 

 a better attendance. T. P. L. 



HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO 

 MARKET. 



The past week has been a repetition of 

 the three preceding with slight excep- 

 tions. Trade continues very plow in- 

 deed, and the immense quantities of 

 tlowers sent in only aggravate the 

 trouble. 



Summer prices still prevail on all stock. 

 Beauties especially suffer. Carnations, 

 while selling fairly well, are not cleaned 

 up as we would like to see them, reds in 

 particular going very slow. The few 

 days of cold, cloudy weather choked off 

 the supply toward the end of the week 

 and in consequence a better condition 

 prevailed for a day or two. 



Smilax is more freely offered. Out- 

 door Lily of the Valley of fair quality is 

 appearing. Narcissus plentiful. Lilac as 

 yet irregular both in quantity and qual- 

 ity.
