The Florists' Review 



JUI^B 4, 1014. 



PITTSBUBOH. 



The Market 



Up to Saturday of last week, the 

 temperature far exceeded the average 

 for the month of July and resulted in 

 bringing into the market unlimited 

 quantities of stock, which gave the 

 wholesalers plenty of everything, and 

 to spare. Local stock reached the mar- 

 ket in good condition, but the shipped 

 stock suffered. Sweet peas came in 

 melted; few were fit for sale. The 

 southern storage peonies were badly af- 

 • fected. There were, however, quanti- 

 ties of fine stock from near home that 

 more than supplied the demand. The 

 unusual quantity of good peonies hurt 

 the sale of lilies. Roses arrived in such 

 quantities that the wholesalers selected 

 the best to fill orders, throwing away 

 the poorer grades and those that the 

 heat forced open. Plantsmen did well, 

 but they still have plenty of stock 

 left to take care of those who are late in 

 getting their planting done on account 

 of the late season. 



The retail stores report a good Memo- 

 rial day trade for cut flowers. Some, 

 however, say it is not as good as last year, 

 owing to the extremely hot weather, 

 but generally they were well satisfied. 



Various Notes. 



Pittsburgh has built a new market 

 on Duquesne way, but has not been able 

 to get the gardeners to take hold of it. 

 May 30 another effort was made and 

 Miss Carrie Jordan, of the old market, 

 was the first to open a flower stand. 

 She was joined later by a few garden- 

 ers. By next Saturday it is hoped to 

 have the market going right. 



Miss Alice Fuchs, daughter of J: J. 

 Fuchs, the south side florist, was mar- 

 ried June 1. 



The business of the Colonial Floral 

 Co., which has been located at 3610 

 Forbes street, with the Hallor bakery, 

 now is being conducted by the Iroquois 

 Flower Shop. Miss Catherine Sauers, 

 an accomplished florist and an expert 

 in malting up corsage bouquets and flo- 

 ral designs, is in charge. 



Earl Lutz, of Monessen, Pa., who 

 formerly was in the retail business and 

 was compelled to discontinue on ac- 

 count of failing health, died Saturday, 

 May 30. Clarke.
