The Florists' Review 



Skktkmbkr 11, 191^. 



Oats also have turned out better 

 than expected, the condition of the 

 crop at harvest being seventy-four, a 

 shade better than a month ago, with 

 the preliminary final estimate 1,066,- 

 000,000 bushels, or 38,000,000 bushels 

 more than last month, but comparing 

 with a bumper yield last year of 1,418,- 

 000,000 bushels. Compared to all ordi- 

 nary standards the oats crop would be 

 considered a large one. 



The drought had almost as serious an 

 effect proportionately on the potato 

 crop as on corn. The September report 

 indicates a yield of 325,000,000 bushels, 

 compared to 421,000,000 bushels a year 

 ago.

PITTSBXntGH, PA. 



The Market. 



The weather last week was hot and 

 vegetation of all kinds has dried up so 

 that it looks much like fall. This has 

 had a bad effect on outdoor flowers, 

 such as gladioli and asters, except 

 where irrigation is possible. Trade 

 also seemed to be affected as much as 

 the flowers, and business was generally 

 quiet. There are more short roses, as 

 the young stock is coming along now, 

 and the scarcity of last week is not 

 felt. Beauties are still plentiful and 

 cheap. Good lilies and valley also are 

 cheap, so that it is possible to take 

 satisfactory care of orders if customers 

 will only take the kinds of flowers that 

 ;ire good. 



Club Meeting. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club held 

 its last meeting at Fort Pitt hotel, 

 September 2. There was a fair <'rowd 

 in attendance. 



P. S. Randolph & Sons exhibited the 

 following gladioli: Peace, Niagara, 

 Mrs. Francis King. America and Baron 

 Rulot. 



The Schenley park conservatories ex- 

 hibited fine cut blooms of Semple's 

 listers. 



President Neil McCallum had an ex- 

 hibition of hardy and wild flowers, on 

 which he gave an interesting talk. 



Mrs. Elsie McFate, of the Hillside 

 Hardy Flower Gardens, Turtle Creek, 

 Pa., gavQ a most interesting and in- 

 structive talk on hardy plants and 

 flowers for the garden. Mrs. McFate 

 is the first woman who has ever read a 

 ])aper or talked before the club and the 

 club will certainly lose nothing by 

 hunting up a few more ladies who can 

 jjive as intelligent a talk, for there are 

 some things women see that men pass 

 by and it is well to have someone show 

 them what they are missing. 



Fred Burki, the only member present 

 who attended the convention, made a 

 report. He said that the convention, al- 

 though not so large as some, was one 

 ef the best he over attended. Ho sp'

of the outdoor planting, which at- 

 tracted considerable attention, and 

 thinks it would not be surprising if 

 that would be a feature at future con- 

 ventions. His report of the hustling, 

 beautiful city, of the fine parks, beau- 

 tiful lakes and drives, as well as the 

 beautiful homes and delightful people 

 he met in Minneapolis, made those who 

 might have gone feel they had missed 

 a good deal by staying at home.
