The Florists' Review

Pat. Nov. 1, 1910, 



We bave made several improvements in 

 our forms for buildiug our "Sectional Con- 

 crete Bench." which has not only reduced 



the cost of the 

 forms, but the 

 finished bench 

 also. The dif- 

 ference be- 

 tween the cost 

 of a concrete 

 bench and a 

 cypress bench 

 is in the labor. 

 With our im- 

 proved forms 

 we have reduced the time 

 in building our bench, so 

 that the finished bench costs 

 very little more than one of 

 cypress. 

 Don't install any kind of a bench 

 until you are positive you do not 

 want the "McCaslin Sectional Con- 

 crete Bench," which is the CHEAP- 

 EST, most durable and convenient 

 bench, because it is strong enough 

 to wheel 400 to 600 lbs. over with perfect 

 safety.

PITTSBURGH. 



The Iilarket. 



Pittsburgh had a week of regular 

 March weather, most of it being raw 

 anj cold, with rain and snow. Stock 

 has not been overplentiful, except bulb- 

 ous stock. Some fine sweet peas are 

 finding* ready sale. Roses have not 

 been abundant, but a good crop for 

 Easter is assured. Valley has been 

 somewhat of a glut, as the demand 

 seems off entirely. Beauties still are 

 scarce. Carnations are about equal to 

 the demand. Greens of all kinds are 

 plentiful. 



The wholesale houses seem fairly 

 bnsy for the season, the large' quantity 

 of funeral work doing its share to make 

 a demand for stock. This work is 

 well distributed among all outside 

 towns, so that shipping business is 

 good. The retail stores, while not busy, 

 are not showing their usual Lenten 

 dullness and anticipate a good Easter 

 business. While one day does not make 

 up a season's business, it indicates 

 largely what the season has been and 

 our retailers have had less to complain 

 of than any other line of trade. 

 Various Notes. 



Harvey C. Sheaff, manager for Mrs, 

 E. A. Williams, has the sympathy of 

 his friends in the loss of his wife, who 

 died March 10. Mrs. Sheaff had been 

 ill for several months. The funeral 

 services were held from the home of 

 Mr. Sheaff 's parents, at Canonsburg, 

 Pa., March 12. 



Fred Burki writes from Los Angeles, 

 Cal., that he and his family are hav- 

 ing a splendid time and that he met 

 Walter Garbet, an old Pittsburgh boy, 

 who is in the flower business out there. 



Clarke. 



Fairmount, lU. — W. L. Leeka, who is 

 both florist and photographer, recently 

 sustained a stroke of paralysis affect- 

 ing his entire right side. Mr. Leeka is 

 55 years old.
