The Florists^ Review 



May 24, 1917. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



Tlie Market. 



Most of the cut flower dealers are 

 bragging about Mothers' day business, 

 which was better than last year. Some 

 of the retailers made a feature of plants, 

 * ' the kind mother likes. ' ' 



We are now enjoying real summer 

 weather, but there has been no over- 

 supply in any kind of stock. In fact, 

 carnations are still short of the demand 

 and are bringing $4 per hundred. Roses 

 are more plentiful, but lilies still are on 

 the short side. 



Various Notes. 



The plantsmen now all are busy, as 

 it is customary to have the cemeteries 

 planted before Memorial day. The cold 

 weather held the work back, so all are 

 rushed. 



Randolph & McClements report that 

 the week preceding Mothers' day was 

 busier than at Christmas. Several wed- 

 dings and other social affairs, together 

 with the Mothers' day trade, kept them 

 working night and day. They also say 

 there is a big demand for porch boxes. 



The A. W. Smith Co. says its land- 

 scape department is far behind iu its 

 orders. There is more business in this 

 line this spring than ever before. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams has been excep- 

 tionally busy. Besides social functions, 

 there has been much funeral work. 



Mrs. Karl Koenig has started work on 

 a range of greenhouses on her new place 

 on Thompson Run road. She will put 

 up four 200-foot houses and a service or 

 pottery house this summer. She expects 

 to move her stock into the new houses 

 this fall. Next year she contemplates 

 increasing her establishment. 



John Koenig has purchased an auto 

 truck for the delivery of plants. 



Fred Burki attended the auto races at 

 Uniontown last week. 



T. P. Langhaus has moved into his 

 new home, the lawn of which runs to 

 Riverview park, giving him a city park 

 for a back yard. 



It seems certain that blooming plants 

 will be scarce for Memorial day. Calls 

 for this class of stock this spring have 

 been heavier than usual. Clarke. 



Butte, Mont.— The five florists here 

 combined to purcliase a half-page ad 

 in the best daily just before Mothers' 

 day and consider it was one of the 

 principal factors in obtaining the big 

 increase in bTisiness they all had.
