The Florists^ Review 



May 17, 1917. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Gold, dark weather continues, and 

 last week there were rain, snow and hail, 

 The cuts of roses and carnations were 

 smaller than a year ago, causing the 

 wholesalers considerable trouble, as they 

 were unable to supply the needs of the 



Tfitfl.il PTS 



Carnations for Mothers' day aver- 

 aged $8 per hundred wholesale, and as 

 one of the department stores was ad- 

 vertising them at $1 and $1.25 per 

 dozen, the retailers had difficulty in 

 getting a fair price. The weather, too, 

 had a depressing effect on business. 



Some of the retail stores made a run 

 on tumbler baskets filled with flowers 

 other than carnations and they seemed 



to take. 



Various Notes. 



Several of the retailers made the 

 rounds of the growers trying to contract 

 for their cuts of carnations for Mothers' 

 day. It is reported that the growers 

 refused to sell, except through the com- 

 mission men. 



Frank Stafford has the sympathy of 

 his many friends in the trade in the 

 loss of his 5-year-old daughter, Eegina 

 May, who died Tuesday, May 8.

SEWIOKLEY, PA. 



The monthly meeting of the Sewick- 

 ley Horticultural Society was held May 

 8, President Barnet presiding. The 

 schedule for the September show was 

 adopted as presented by the committee. 

 A resolution was adopted that the 

 Sewickley Horticultural Society view 

 with hearty approval the efforts of the 

 Women's Club of Sewickley in its work 

 in connection with the cultivation of 

 vacant lots in Sewickley and its en- 

 virons, and that the society offer that 

 body its hearty cooperation in the un- 

 dertaking. 



M. Curran and William Thomson 

 showed fine specimens of herbaceous 

 calceolarias and J. Barnet exhibited 

 persicas in variety. 



John Carman, Sec'y. 



I HAVE had much success advertising in 

 The Eeview and consider it the best paper 

 for the trade. — John Stammes, New York.
