The Florists^ Review 



January 28, 191S. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



A week of bad weather, including 

 rain, snow, sleet and zero, and sonio- 

 times all four within twenty-four hours, 

 is what we are having. As a result 

 the supply of cut stock has fallen off, 

 particularly roses, and — would you be- 

 lieve it? — the wholesalers really seem 

 to glory in it! It had been so lon^ 

 since they could tell a man the price 

 and know it woulil stand thfit some 

 of them act like boys just out of 

 school, tarnations have fallen off, but 

 there is a quantity of bulbous stock, 

 lilies, tulips, daffodils and Paper 

 Whites. These are plentiful and are 

 increasing daily. Some splendid lilac, 

 freesia and sweet peas add to the va- 

 riety; then there are yellow daisies, 

 calendulas, wallflowers, mignonette and 

 orchids. In fact, you can get almost 

 anything asked for. Beauties have not 

 been so plentiful, but the Kiliarneys 

 and Kichmond are cominji in finer 

 ilaily. Some fine valley is now in, a 

 little short of foliage, })ut with splendid 

 s{)ikes of bells. 



Various Notes. 



(,'. Philiijts opened a new store .(anu 

 ary 26, at the corner of Forbes au'! 

 Dallas avenues. Mr. Phillips is a land 

 scape gardener and will push that end 

 of his business. He has also had ex 

 perience in the cut flower end in Ne^. 

 York city and London, so with hi . 

 general knowledge of the V)usiness 1 ' 

 should l)e quite successful. 



The delegation from l*ittsburgh 1 ^ 

 Buffalo included Fred Burki, T. )'. 

 Langhans, E. C. McCallum, George Mai - 

 shall and .James B. Murdoch. Tl •

WORCESTER, MASS. 



The Massachusetts Fruit Grower'- ' 

 Association recently held its wint'i' 

 convention here. Little business v* ;< ^ 

 transacted, as nearly all the time w s 

 given over to lectures. Moving pi( - 

 tures showing operations in the gre.it 

 orchards of ]\Iassachusetts were shown. 



The florists' business in general is 

 quiet. Flowers of all kinds are plen- 

 tiful and prices low. A few large I'u- 

 nerals have helped the retailers, but 

 collections are slow. 



Harry Randall's new store has soimo 

 fine window displays and he repor'. s 

 good transient trade at his new stanii. 



H. F. A. Lange had a beautiful vi'i- 

 dow last week, of cattleyas and 

 cypripediums in baskets. This week he 

 is featuring Rose Queen peas and white 

 primrose plants. E. M.
