The Florists' Review

PITTSBUBOH. 



The Market. 



There is an abundance of all kinds 

 of flowers, good and bad. Great quan- 

 tities of outside flowers are shipped 

 into the market; these could have had 

 little value when packed and are al- 

 most worthless on arrival in the mar- 

 ket. However, there are plenty of 

 good roses and carnations to supply 

 all demands, except, perhaps, for Dec- 

 oration day, when there will probably 

 be a shortage. There have really 

 been no fine peonies in the market to 

 date, but they will probably arrive this 

 week, and they want to get here, for 

 their name will be "Dinnis" after 

 Decoration day. 



Plantsmen have had a great harvest 

 and many of them are already about 

 out of stock. Good geraniums and al- 

 ternantheras seem to be in shortest 

 supply. It looks as if this would be 

 a good year for the plantsmen. 



The retail flower stores do not seem 

 to be doing a great deal as far as cut 

 flowers are concerned and there has 

 been some complaint about things be- 

 ing dull. The weather today has 

 turned extremely hot and will probably 

 be hard on shipments of cut flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Menschke, of Castlo Shannon, 

 will build three more houses this fall, 

 to be devoted to roses and carnations. 



Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Ludwig visited 

 their sons at Cornell last week. 



At the next meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, June 2, Mr. Barnes, state en- 

 tomologist, will give a lecture on 

 "Spraying," a subject on which he 

 is well versed and which is of vital 

 importance to most gardeners. E. C. 

 Beineman, chairman of the ways and 

 means committee, will discuss the trip 

 to the S. A. F. convention at Boston, 

 via steamship around the coast. Every- 

 one will bring seasonable flowers. 



Clarke. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has 

 bought from F. F. Nicola and Wilbur 

 Shenk 40 x 110 feet on Sandusky street, 

 between Penn avenue and Duquesne 

 way, whereon to erect a building for 

 its own use. The price paid for the 

 lot is not definitely known, but is un- 

 derstood to be about $120,000. 



Wrentham, Mass. — Samuel A. Wing 

 has discovered what he believes to be a 

 sure remedy for cutworms, both in the 

 field and in the greenhouse. He would 

 like to put it on the market as a pro- 

 prietary article and is casting about for 

 the best method and means.
