90 The Florists' Review 



OCTOBEB 10, 1016. 



PITTSBUSaH. 



Tbe Blarket. 



A drop in temperature and rain were 

 the cause of a decrease in the supply 

 of flowers. Roses and carnations, which 

 have been coming in quantity, are 

 fewer, and gladioli and dahlias are a 

 thing of the past. Chrysanthemums are 

 more plentiful, but they do not make 

 up for the shortage in other flowers. 

 Violets arrive in good condition and 

 cattleyas are fine. Of these there are 

 enough for all demands. The supply 

 of greens of all kinds is sufficient for 

 the demand. 



Various Notes. 



There are a number of small growers 

 who bring in a few chrysanthemums 

 and sell them for the same price retail 

 as wholesale, and sometimes for less, 

 and this causes complaint on the part 

 of some of the retailers. 



The retail stores seem to be fairly 

 busy, some good funeral orders helping 

 out nicely and general counter trade 

 improving right along. 



One of the members of the Florists' 

 Telegraph Delivery Association stopped 

 off in Pittsburgh long enough to remind 

 us that we had not had a representative 

 at the convention in Chicago last week 

 and to point out the importance of 

 every retailer lending his support, both 

 morally and financially. He suggested 

 that retailers read the reports in the 

 trade papers concerning the work done 

 at the meeting, and he felt sure more of 

 them would show interest. 



In speaking of dahlias a retailer said 

 one of the things he had heard from 

 customers was that dahlias brought hay 

 fever and that when they were used 

 on a dining table many of those at 

 the table would be sneezing before the 

 dinner was over. We know that dahlias 

 sometimes bring mosquitoes into the 

 house, but this is the first time we have 

 heard that they carry hay fever.
