The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Decemukr 4. 1002. 



PITTSBURG. 



Within the last week activity 

 in tlie llower market lias been more 

 pronounced than it has been for 

 some time, and the florists are 

 sanguine that business will be good for 

 the balance of the year. At this writing 

 the market is very steady, with a suffi- 

 cient supply of roses, carnations, Roman 

 hyacinths, violets and valley to meet the 

 demands. 



Clirysanthemums bade us adieu on 

 Thanksgiving day, for which both retail- 

 ers and growers were thankful. We 

 are all glad to see them come in, in the 

 fall, and twice glad to see them go. 

 Harrisii lilies and paper white narcis- 

 sus are now to be had in quantities. 

 Tliese fill any shortage caused by the 

 disappearance of mums. 



Prices for Tlianksgiving averaged 

 about the same as a year ago. The 

 general report is that business was bet- 

 ter than the year previous, and had 

 the weather conditions been more favor- 

 able business would have, undoubtedly, 

 gone on record as a winner. 



Maids and Brides sold at retail, from 

 $1 to .$3 per doz. Carnations, 75 cents 

 to .'(S1.25 per don. Violets, 75 cents to $2 

 per bunch. Chrysanthemums, $2 to $G 

 per doz. Roman hyacinths and paper 

 white narcissus, 50 cents to 75 cents 

 per doz. 



The first real fall of "the beautiful" 

 occurred in this vicinity last Sunday, 

 November 30. 



The condition of stock in this section 

 looks very promising for a good crop 

 for Cliristmas. Growers are gradually 

 becoming wiser; repeated cxperipnce's 

 having taught them that it is folly to 

 hold any quantity of stock beyond a 

 reasonable time, preceding a holiday.

Business was considerably injured by 

 the recent political contest", which tem- 

 porarily disorganized the social world, 

 but normal conditions have returned and 

 we are all busy. In addition to flowers 

 for luncheons and dinners, funeral work 

 has been in steady demand, as usual here. 

 In addition to natural deaths there have 

 been some shooting afl'airs that have kept 

 us busy. At the "funeral of Dr. Cayley, 

 who was killed several weeks ago, there 

 were two large carriages filled with de- 

 signs. One was the largest ever seen 

 here. It was a large panel, 7x5 feet, on 

 an easel, made for the Fraternal Order of 

 Eagles. It was arranged by the Butte 

 Floral Co. A picture is sent 'you. 



The Butte Floral Co. gave its second 

 annual chrysanthemum show and open- 

 ing recently and Senator Clark and 

 some eastern visitors said the blooms 

 and their arrangement excelled those at 

 New York. Tlie blooms were arranged 

 among oriental decorations with beauti- 

 ful electric light effects. An orchestra 

 concealed behind a bank of mums ren- 

 dered a popular program. The show 

 was attended by crowds of visitors. So- 

 ciety turned out in force. The local 

 press was very warm in its praise. 



There is talk of calling a meeting 

 after the holidays to organize a florists' 

 club here. 



Law Bros, report business very good. 

 Tlieir new store gives them much more 

 room, and it has been very attractively 

 arranged. " Rambler.
