The Florists' Review 



January 13, 1921 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



Tbe Market. 



J:5usiiieas in Pittsburgh last week was 

 just fair enough to keep retail stores 

 active, but not rushed. Funeral work 

 iiirfde up a good percentage of the busi- 

 ness. Among the wholesalers stock 

 was not plentiful, except Paper Whites. 

 Everything else was short, especially 

 roses and carnations. Some fine free- 

 sias and Eoman hyacinths are coming 

 along. Tulips are also coming, but are 

 not good. Lilies are short and the few 

 callas do not help much. 



Violets are quite plentiful, but there 

 is little demand for them. Beauties are 

 principally in the shorter grades. 



Various Notes. 



The traveling representatives of the 

 various wholesale houses are beginning 

 their trips for the new year. 



Last week R. E. Gay, Ross Adgate 

 and Henry Blend, road representatives 

 of the McCallum Co., were in this city. 

 James Reilley, of the Detroit branch of 

 the McCallum Co., spent a few days 

 here last week also. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Hostetter, of 

 Manheim, Pa., were visitors last week. 



The Pittsburgh Retail Florists' Asso- 

 ciation will hold its monthly meeting 

 Thursday evening, January 13, at the 

 Seventh Avenue hotel. Dinner will be 

 served at 6:30 o'clock. A speaker has 

 been arranged for. It is urged tliat all 

 retail florists join hands and take ad- 

 vantage of this wonderful opportunity 

 which now presents itself. 



Mrs. Margaret Burns McClements, 

 mother of Samuel and John Mc- 

 Clements, died Sunday, January 9, at 

 8 a. ni. 



A florists' establishment has been 

 ojH'iuid at Dormont, Pa., known as the 

 Dorniont Floral Shop, with John B. 

 Hirsch acting as manager. H. J. H.

What Does It Cost You? 

 That's The Point 



What does it cost you when 

 you have to transplant outside 

 when it's a bit too dry? 

 What does it cost you to do 

 hand watering, to overcome it? 

 What does it cost your plants 

 to get a poor start? 

 What does it cost you when you 

 get only half a crop? 

 What does it cost you to water 

 in your greenhouse? 



What would you make and save 

 if all those costs were turned 

 into profit? 



How would you like to have all 

 that profit and more besides, 

 without its costing you a cent 

 to get it? 



That is exactly what the Skin- 

 ner System of watering will do. 

 It more than pays for itself the 

 first year, and costs you nothing 

 the rest of the years.

 portable or for fixed use.

 and Contracts With the Weather 



Make your greenhouse weather-tieht with Asbestfalt, 

 the elastic cement that never gets hard, cracks or 

 peels in cold weather or runs in hot weather. 



$1.25 per gallon. Why pay more? 

 Tou can't get anything better no matter how much 

 more you pay. The ingredients are of the purest: 

 weighs but 10 pounds to tbe gallon. 

 With the scarcity of coal and its high prices, the 

 careful application of Asbestfalt will more than pay 

 for itself by lieeping your greenhouse air-tight. 



To insure best results, apply AsbeiWali 

 with our Liquid Putty Machine, prio* 

 $2.00. With every barrel purchast of 

 Asbestfalt, one machine free.
