The Florists' Review 



October 28, 1918. 



was on the sick list for a time, but is 

 now greatly improved. 



The list of recent visitors includes A. 

 Basmussen and his brother, George, of 

 New Albany, Ind.; Jacob Schulz, H. 

 Kleinstarink and ^^ Walker, of Louis- 

 ville; H. V. Thomas, of Augusta, Ky.; 

 H. G. Behrens and Mr. and Mrs. G. A. 

 Beckman, of the Busy Bee Floral Co., 

 Middletown, 0.; S. M. Currier, for- 

 merly of Chillicothe, O.; C. E. Hillman, 

 representing the Johnston Tin Foil & 

 Metal Co., St. Louis, and S. Fine, rep- 

 resenting Chas. Zinn & Co., New York.

The Market. 



A drop in the temperature and a 

 heavy, cold rain storm are being wel- 

 comed by the growers and storemen, 

 who have suffered as a result of the 

 activity in the dahlia market. As one 

 grower puts it, "The less said about 

 prices the better; we are actually sell- 

 ing goods without count." The warm 

 weather flooded the market with all 

 kinds of stock, greatly reducing prices. 

 Large chrysanthemums could be had on 

 the street as low as 5 cents per bloom, 

 while the stores have been holding out 

 for 15 and 25 cents. Polly Eose and 

 Nagoya have made their appearance 

 in the market; Unaka has been with 

 us for some time. Everyone is praying 

 for a heavy frost and it looks at this 

 time as though the wish would be 

 granted. 



Locally grown single violets are im- 

 proving in quality and carnations are 

 being received in fine shape. The lat- 

 ter is about the only flower for which 

 there has been a demand, aside from 

 dahlias and cosmos. 



Various Notes. 



Florists were especially prominent at 

 the ladies' night given bjr Kallipolis 

 Grotto, a Masonic organization, the 

 members of the trade forming a goodly 

 part of its membership. The affair was 

 given at the Hotel Willard, where the 

 large ballroom was decorated by J. H. 

 Small & Son. John Henry Small, Jr., 

 was a member of the committee on dec- 

 orations, and Edward S. Schmid was 

 on the receiving line. C. L. L. 



PITTSBUEOH, PA. 



The Market. 



There is little change in trade condi- 

 tions since last week. With plenty of 

 stock of all kinds to satisfy all or- 

 ders, chrysanthemums have been do- 

 ing rather better than usual for the 

 first of the season. The best coming 

 in are Chrysolora, Early Snow and Pa- 

 cific Supreme. There also are plenty 

 of the poor grades, which do not move 

 so well. Beauties have been almost 

 too plentiful, with quantities of Rich- 

 mond, Maryland, Killarney and Ward 

 coming in. Cattleyas and oncidiums 

 have been in full crop. Yellow daisies, 

 carnations, valley and liliee are good 

 and plentiful enough to satisfy all de- 

 mands. Green goods are abundant. 



Vaiioos Notes. 



Edward Boss, gardener for Frank 

 Moore, Braddock and Frankstown ave- 

 nues, was promoted into the hero class, 

 October 17, when he captured a thug 

 who assaulted a woman, robbed her and 

 was making his escape. He threatened 



to shoot Boss if he came near but Boss 

 took a chance and landed his man. 



John Martin, of the McCallum Co., 

 has been confined to his home for a 

 week with an attack of grip. 



C. Goodwin & Sons, Bridgeville, Pa., 

 are sending some fine chrysanthemums 

 to the Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. 



The Polk Floral Co., of Tolk, Pa., 

 will put up another house for lettuce 

 and spring bedding plants. There 

 seems to be an opening for a vegetable 

 grower. 



The Indiana Floral Co. contemplates 

 putting up additional glass for vege- 

 tables. 



W. M. Deyoe, of Oil City, is consign- 

 ing a fine lot of Bergman chrysanthe- 

 mums to the McCallum Go. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams has had a win- 

 dow decoration of fine crotons and 

 baskets of dahlias. 



The McCallum Co., has been making 

 quite a run on dahlias, which seem to 

 be more in favor than for -several 

 years. 



W. L. Baker receives the entire out- 

 put of the J. B. Murdoch Co., which 

 consists of carnations and chrysanthe- 

 mums. 



Schenley Conservatories, Schenley 

 park, are hard at work arranging their 

 chrysanthemum show. 



The Woodville Floral Co. has been 

 cutting carnations, mums and lilies 

 which they sell themselves, cutting out 

 the middleman, but Mr. Walters says 

 he finds he has made a mistake, as it 

 costs more than his commission would 

 amount to. 



The John Bader Co. put up a new 

 house this season, but reports being 

 crowded worse than ever, having in- 

 creased the stock of plants more than 

 the glass was increased. Clarke.
