The Florists' Review 



Mabch 6. 1919 



PITTSBURQH. 



The Market. 



Business conditions continue fair, 

 considering the mid-season, speaking 

 from the social standpoint. Funeral 

 work continues to be the mainstay of 

 the florists' demands. As the direct re- 

 sult of several days of clear skies and 

 crisp atmospheric conditions, there is a 

 decided improvement in all marketable 

 products throughout the western Penn- 

 sylvania sections. Eoses, both in num- 

 bers and quality, are much improved, 

 and sweet peas are coming in heavily. 

 Greens of all kinds show a decided im- 

 provement over the previous week. 



Various Notes. 



After an absence of nearly two years, 

 F. M. Smith has returned to Pittsburgh 

 and joined the sales staff of Ean- 

 dolph & McClements. Since leaving G. 

 P. Weaklen & Co., Mr. Smith has been 

 doing essential shop work in Buffalo, 

 N. Y., and Philadelphia, Pa., and more 

 recently in suburban Pittsburgh. Mean- 

 while his health has noticeably im- 

 proved, the strenuous shop life seem- 

 ingly having effected a cure of the 

 throat trouble which formerly resulted 

 in periodical attacks of tonsillitis. Not- 

 withstanding, he announces himself as 

 glad to be again in the "posy game." 



Carl Voelker, formerly with the Alpha 

 Flower Shop, in East Liberty, has re- 

 turned from a several weeks ' trip, which 

 included Chicago, Cleveland, Youngs- 

 town, Akron and Steubenville, O. Mr. 

 Voelker expects to locate in either 

 Akron or Steubenville. 



Julius Dilloff, who has long repre- 

 sented the Schloss Bros., Inc., was in 

 town last week in the interest of Wert- 

 heimer Bros., of New York. 



John Matsukes, of the Liberty Flo- 

 rists' staff, has returned from a two 

 weeks' business trip, on which he vis- 

 ited New York and Washington. Charles 

 Matsukes, who was the original manager 

 for the same firm, has returned, after 

 spending ten months in Philadelphia, 

 Pa., where he has been engaged in one 

 of the essential industries. Instead of 

 resuming the flower business, his inten- 

 tion is to go into the wholesale confec- 

 tionery trade, together with a brother- 

 in-law, G. Bealus. E. E. S.

 as Much 



Armstrong Nurseries, of Ontario, 

 Cal., writes the following: 



"We grow on one acre as 

 many plants and get bet- 

 ter results than we would 

 on five acres of land under 

 the furrow system."
