The Florists' Review

uniformity or this desirable publicity. 

 On the other hand, state laws are in close 

 touch with the peculiar conditions of 

 each state, are more easily and quickly 

 enacted, and are more susceptible to 

 necessary and quick modification. 

 Whenever a state law is proposed, all 

 who are interested — nurserymen and 

 fruit growers — should take notice and 

 insist that such law be reasonable, 

 necessary, and should line up with this 

 principle of uniformity in relation to 

 other states." 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh has been having delight- 

 ful weather, but needs a little more rain 

 to keep things looking their best. 

 Business is not showing any signs of 

 change, and it is just as well, for if 

 there was much trade, we should have 

 trouble finding stock to take care of it. 

 Good roses are scarcer than at any 

 other time this summer, and carnations 

 have disappeared altogether. Good 

 asters continue scarce, as the buyers 

 have finished all local stock. 



The retail shops are all taking things 

 easy and waiting until trade starts be- 

 fore putting on their fall improve- 

 ments. This is a custom of the trade 

 here, possibly because they do not like 

 to see money going out when there is 

 none coming in. 



Various Notes. 



Samuel McClements, of Eandolph & 

 McClements, has been taking his vaca- 

 tion this summer in week-end auto- 

 mobile runs to Bedford Springs and 

 other mountain resorts, never getting 

 too far away to keep in touch with 

 business. 



Harvey Sheaf, manager for Mrs. E. 

 A. Williams, has been east the last 

 week, looking up novelties and plants 

 for the fall and winter season. 



A. W. Smith, Jr., also has been tak- 

 ing his vacation in week-end trips to 

 the mountains, where his family are 

 spending the summer, but says it must 

 stop, as his landscape department now 

 requires all his time. 



Those who attended the S. A. F. con- 

 vention have all returned and were de- 

 lighted with their trip. They all speak 

 highly of the beautiful city as well as 

 of the successful convention. 



E. C. Ludwig has been getting the 

 products of his gardens at Ludwig, Pa., 

 and has been able to keep up elab- 

 orate shows at his store and market 

 stands. Among other things he grows 

 asters, but the bugs got to them last 

 week and now there is nothing doing 

 in the aster line for him. 



Ed. McCallum is home from Canada 

 and looks like an Indian. He spent 

 his whole time in a canoe, and he says 

 that is the way to get in condition for 

 a winter's work. 



Howard Carney has a cottage at the 

 Hulton camp ground. He says it is 

 fine for the children but a little quiet 

 for their father. 



Miss Carrie Jordon spent a pleasant 

 vacation at Conneaut Lake and is back 

 at lier stand ready to take care of 

 trade. 



George Marshall was another who 

 went to Canada fishing, but the report 

 is that he found it too much like work 

 and stuck close to camp. His prin- 

 cipal object was to put on weight and 

 there was a better opportunity in 

 camp. Clarke.
