The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Januaey 13, 1903. 



PITTSBURG. 



Business has settled down to its nor- 

 nial state again. Tlie general demand 

 for last week's business was in funeral 

 work. Flowers are good in quality. The 

 supply of Maids and Brides is limited. 

 Carnations are plentiful and help to fill 

 out the scarcity 'of roses. A surplus of 

 the poorer grades of carnations was very 

 noticeable- last week. The better grades 

 sold at reasonable prices. 



Paper white narcissus are still a glut. 

 Roman hyacinths and Easter lilies are 

 rather scarce. Tulips are not in de- 

 mand. Mignonette, valley, violets and 

 sweet peas are arriving in good supply, 

 and sell readily. 



Last week we experienced some very 

 severe weather, the thermometer register- 

 ing as low as zero on Friday, Jan. 9. 

 It remained very cold over Saturday and 

 on Sunday it rained all day. Monday. 

 January 12, zero was again staring us 

 in the face. Such sudden changes are 

 common in this section. 



While the cry for coal sounds over the 

 countiy our coal companies have mil- 

 lions of bushels just lying around in the 

 way. A local paper published a cartoon 

 showing immense piles of coal, with signs 

 such as "Coal we can't get hauled away," 

 "Coal we don't need," hung on each pile. 

 'Kotwithstanding all this, it is difficult 

 (or us to secure a sufficient supply, on ac 

 count of the shortage of railroad cars. 



Fred Burki contemplates the erection 

 of an ad<litional range of houses for car- 

 nal iona, at his Hakerstown place. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 club, the old officers were all re-elected. 

 Pittsburg expects to be well rcpresentoil 

 at Oie Carnation Convention which cnii 

 vencs at Brooklyn, N. Y.. February lO-iiO, 

 190.'i. The following ones expect to at- 

 tend: Fred Burki, Geo. Blind. Edward 

 Blind. B. L. Klliott, T. P. Langhans and 

 J. L. Wyland. 



Among the visiters this week were: 

 G. li. Huscroft, of Steubenville, Ohio; 

 Arthur Langhans and Miller Carenbauer. 

 of Wheeling. W. 'Va.: Thos. J. Wade, 

 representing Aug. Rhotert, New York. 



Hoo IIoo. 



ORANGE, N.J. 



The annual installation of new officers 

 for the current year of the N. J. Flori- 

 cultural Society took place at its room* 

 in Orange. George Smith, president; 

 William Bennett, vice president; Joseph 

 A. Manda, secretary; Malcolm MacRorie. 

 treasurer, all made short felicitous ad- 

 dresses, which contributed much to a 

 pleasant evening. 



A vote of thanks was heartily given 

 to the retiring president, John Hayes, 

 upon motion of George Smith. Mr. 

 Hayes' administration has been marked 

 by a conservative and harmonious policy, 

 which has contributed much to the suc- 

 cess of the society and its good name be- 

 fore the world. A balance of .$280 was 

 reported by the treasurer and the re- 

 ports of secretary and librarian showed 

 cause for congratulations for a prosper- 

 ous year past and an encouraging pros- 

 pective one. J. B. D. 



Bellefoxt.vine, O. — Poole & Purllant 

 report Christmas trade as up to expec- 

 tations, with the price of roses "sky 

 high," yet all stock was cleaned up. 

 Plants did not sell very well on ac- 

 count of the zero weather.
