Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., Pittsburgh, Pa.— 

 A comprehensive and attractive catalogue or 

 florists' supplies; forty large pages, about lOx 

 13% InchcB, clearly printed on a good quality 

 of enameled paper, well Illustrated, and bound 

 in a tasteful and substantial gray cover. The 

 assortments offered are large enough to afford a 

 wide choice In such requisites as baskets, flower 

 stands, vases, ribbons, chiffons, Christmas spe- 

 cialties, artificial flowers, wreaths, wire designs, 

 etc. The company's opinion in regard to the 

 future probabilities in the prices of such goods 

 is stated thus: "Do not hesitate to buy at pres- 

 ent prices. You will undoubtedly save money by 

 doing so, and lose money if you delay." — Florists' 

 Review, November 6, 1919.

Mention The RcTiew when you write. 



The demand for roses is poor and 

 after the best are disposed of there is a 

 large surplus and bargain hunters are 

 easily accommodated. American Beau- 

 ty is in good supply and prices are any- 

 thing but steady. Hybrid teas continue 

 in heavy supply, the warm weather last 

 week bringing the cut forward fast. 



Carnations are plentiful and the qual- 

 ity is still poor; consequently much of 

 the stock arriving ia hard to move. 

 While the varieties Mrs. C. W. Ward 

 and Benora command as much as $3 

 per hundred when good, $2 is about 

 top for the best of the general run, 

 with inferior stock clearing at $1 or 

 less. 



Cattleyas are not plentiful, and prices 

 continue to be on a rather high scale, 

 $1 per flower for the best outside of the 

 hybrids, which bring as much as $2, A 

 few flowers of C. Trianse are coming in 

 and are of excellent quality. There is 

 a small supply of oncidiums and other 

 spray orchids, which move nicely. 



Lilies continue scarce, the few arriv- 

 ing bringing from $30 to $35 per hun- 

 dred and even more for extra quality 

 flowers. Lily of the valley is not in large 

 supply, but there is quite enough to 

 meet the demand at the stiff prices now 

 in vogue, $20 per hundred for the best 

 grade, down to $8 for culls. Rubrums 

 are in plenty and the demand for them 

 is fairly good at $3 to $5 per hundred. 

 Some short-stemmed gardenias are ar- 

 riving daily and command $3 to $6 per 

 dozen, according to grade. A few cal- 

 las are seen and they move fairly well 

 at $2 to $3 per dozen. With the scar- 

 city of lilies, callas are being used to 

 some extent in wedding work. 



The supply of sweet peas is increas- 

 ing and arrivals are showing some im- 

 provement in quality; about $2.50 per 

 hundred sprays is the top figure in sales. 

 Violets are abundant, but meet only a 

 small demand. 



Among the miscellaneous offerings 

 are calendulas, snapdragons. Paper 

 White narcissi, the supply of which is 

 increasing, and lupines. Paper Whites 

 sold last week at as low as three bunches 

 for $1.

THANKSGIVING 



IS 



THURSDAY, 

 November 27 



THANKSGIVING as a day of sentiment and prayer is where 

 Cut Flowers should testify to their "FULL MEANING." 



The extra needs of the "OUT-OF-TOWN" Retail Florists 

 are taken care of because of our STRONG POSITION of 

 handling a BIG SHARE of the Roses, Carnations and Mutns 

 that are grown for the CHICAGO MARKET. 



EARLY ORDERS make our acceptance toward their ful- 

 fillment much more satisfactory.
