The Florists' Review 



July 12, 1917. 



PITTSBXmGH, PA. 



The Market. 



There are plenty of good flowers to 

 take care of the demand, wliich, with 

 the coming of real summer wcatlier, has 

 dropped to almost nothing. Carnations 

 still are fair and many are arriving. 

 They will soon be scarce, as the grow- 

 ers already are planting. Asters as yet 

 are not plentiful, but soon will be com- 

 ing in quantities. Lilies are good, but 

 Beauties are showing the effects of the 

 hot weather. The local supply of sweet 

 peas is gone, but some good ones are be- 

 ing shipped in. 



Various Notes. 



Gilbert Ludwig is receiving congrat- 

 ulations on the birth of a son. 



Bessie Stuart Campbell still is wuth 

 us and arrangements are being made 

 for her to deliver a lecture on ' ' Roses 

 and Their Influence on Character," at 

 the Wiliam Penn hotel. Clarke. 



The Club Meeting. 



The placidity of last week's meeting 

 of the Pittsburgh Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Club was broken by a tilt be- 

 tween two of the members as to the 

 skill of Pittsburgh 's gardeners com- 

 pared with the skill of gardeners of 

 other cities. During the verbal battle 

 one fact of force was brought out: 

 "The average man goes abroad to see 

 hurriedly, excitedly and expensively 

 things which are right under his nose." 



So, to live up to the idea quoted, and 

 to settle the dispute, the members de- 

 cided to visit the several gardens, pub- 

 lic and private, in tlie residential east 

 end district, within the next few days; 

 a committee was delegated to plan the 

 route, transportation and commissary 

 of the expedition, whicli is sure to be 

 both enjoyable and instructive. Invi- j 

 tation cards will be sent to all inter- 

 ested. 



On the exhibition tables were some 

 good Spencer sweet peas from Sewick- 

 ley Heights and a sj)lendid collection 

 of herbaceous perennials and lilies from 

 Dixmont. A vote of tlianks was ex- 

 tended tlie exhibitors, Carl Becherer 

 and William Thompson. 



Burlington, Wis. — Tlie Burlington 

 Floral Co. soon will open a new store 

 in the business section here. The com- 

 pany has filed articles of incorporation 

 at Racine. The capital stock will be 

 $2,'5,000. The purpose of the incorpora- 

 tion is to enlarge the business by tlie 

 addition of a retail store.
