Tlie Florists' Review 



Jdlt 6, 1916. 



supply of roses, but carnations are grad- 

 ually producing fewer blooms. Outdoor 

 flowers, such as Dorothy Perkins and 

 Hiawatha roses, had their week and 

 brought good returns to the growers 

 who took pains to bring in this stock in 

 good condition. 



The general reports are that the 

 month of June was most satisfactory; 

 many say it was the best they ever 

 had. 



Among the new arrivals are water 

 lilies, which find a limited sale. Out- 

 door peas and phloxes now are to be had 

 in quantities. Larkspur was in good 

 demand this season. 



Various Notes. 



B. L. Elliott and a number of friends 

 motored to Philadelphia last week. Ben 

 made more than 900 miles in less than 

 three days, which is going some. 



Edward McCallum and C. C. Phillips 

 spent July 4 on the Cheat river. This 

 is a bass stream, where one may cast 

 the fly and loaf and dream to one's 

 content. 



E. L. McGrath requests a correction 

 of a note in The Eeview. Mr. McGrath 

 still is manager of and retains his in- 

 terest in the Blind Floral Co. 



The E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. is send- 

 ing out a new booklet of thirty-two 

 pages. It is nicely illustrated and 

 shows many designs and decorations. 



The retailers are using larkspurs with 

 combinations of roses and other flowers 

 in a most satisfactory way. 



Visitors fast week: William Cromack, 

 of Irwin, Pa.; J. W, Glenn, of Kittan- 

 ning, Pa.; Allen Langhans, of War- 

 ren, Pa. 



James Murray McGrew, head sales-

 Pittsburgh hospital, where she spent 

 several weeks following an operation for 

 appendicitis. 



Miss Eliza McKinley, head saleslady 

 for Randolph & McClemeuts, left Mon- 

 day for Greensburg, Pa., where she 

 probably will spend the remainder of 

 the summer. 



William J. Ferguson is off on a three 

 weeks' pleasure and business trip, a 

 portion of which will be spent at 

 Cleveland, O. 



Anthony Leach, who has charge of 

 the grounds and greenhouse of Henry 

 J. Heinz, has returned from a fort- 

 night's trip through the east. 



Thomas Edward Tyler, secretary of 

 the Horticultural Society of Western

 fine orchids to Beaumaris, Ont., for the 

 wedding of his employer's son, Charles 

 Dudlev. W. A. C.

The Market. 



The weather last week was good for 

 business. It remained cool and stock 

 kept up wonderfully. It seems a shame 

 for the growers to throw out stock as 

 good as that coming into the market 

 now. Carnations, of course, are down 

 in price and are being moved in large 

 quantities. The stock is good and there 

 are no complaints whatever. 



Boses are bringing fairly good prices 

 and the stock certainly is worth all it 

 is bringing. The cut is large and there 

 are fine varieties to select from. The 

 orders are heavy enough to take up
