The Florists^ Review 



December 16, 1920 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



The market was quite active last 

 week, the wholesale houses cleaning up 

 every day. There was a considerable 

 shortage of carnations, lilies and roses. 

 Eoses and carnations are up to the win- 

 ter's standard of quality, but there are 

 not sufficient to meet the demand, es- 

 pecially of the better varieties. 



Some good stevia, calendulas and yel- 

 low daisies are arriving. Orchids con- 

 tinue to be scarce. Paper White narcissi 

 are plentiful. Pussy willows are also an 

 added feature of the market, and mistle- 

 toe and winter berries have arrived. 



Boxwood, smilax and ground pine are 

 the active greens at present, as all 

 florists are preparing for the holiday 

 rusli. Business in general has been re- 

 ported good. 



Various Notes. 



Joseph Marks, of A. Henderson & Co., 

 Chicago, was a visitor in Pittsburgh 

 last week.
