The Florists' Review 



JONl 11, 1014. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh had most delightful 

 weather following Memorial day, but 

 this week has started boiling hot. The 

 extreme weather the last of May had 

 a disastrous effect on cut flowers, burn- 

 ing everything up. Roses are good, 

 but scarce. Carnations are showing 

 the effects of the heat and are nearly 

 bloomed out. Outdoor stock never was 

 finer or more plentiful. However, 

 there is not much sale for it, as the 

 home-grown garden flowers are sup- 

 plying nearly everyone. 



The commission men have had their 

 troubles — more of everything than they 

 could handle, let alone dispose of. 



The retailers are all complaining of 

 the dull trade, especially along the cut 

 flower line. There is still some plant 

 trade, but it is about over. 



Various Notes. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. were the vic- 

 tims of a plant thief last week. A 

 negro got around about 2 o'clock one 

 morning and loaded his wagon so 

 heavily that it broke down and one 

 of the night policemen helped him get 

 fixed up so that he could haul the load. 

 The same policeman was able to make 

 the arrest after it was found the plants 

 wei^ stolen. The judge said, "Sixty 

 days. ' * 



The McCallum family has moved to 

 the bungalow at West Hoffman Sta- 

 tion, on the Butler Short Line. 



Fred Burki, president of the Pitts- 

 ■ burgh Cut Flower Co., has the sym- 

 pathy of his friends in the loss of 

 his eldest son, Frederick Burki, Jr., 

 who died Sunday afternoon, June 7. 

 He had been ill for some time, hav- 

 ing spent a part of the winter in 

 Tucson, Ariz. He came to the city 

 June 6 for treatment, but became 

 worse on his return home. The 

 funeral was from the family home at 

 Crystal Farm, Bakerstown, Pa., Wednes- 

 day, June 10. Clarke.
