Wholesaler's New Home, 



The trade has taken much interest 

 in inspecting the new building of the 

 Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co.. occupied 

 only a few days ago. The Duildins is 

 40x110 feet, three stories. The first 

 floor is the salesroom with cut flower 

 coolers; the second floor, office and 

 show room for baskets and supplies of 

 all kinds; the third floor, wire design 

 shop and stock room. The basement 

 contains a large cold room for wild 

 smilax, galax and ferns, with machinery 

 for automatic refrigeration. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. was 

 organized in July, 1898, with Fred 

 Burki, president; T. P. Langhans, sec- 

 retary, and W, A. Clarke, treasurer, to 

 do a wholesale and commission busi- 

 ness. The company started out mod- 

 estly, in a room 15x35 feet at 705 

 Penn avenue. Shortly, Mr. Burki, who 

 was the largest grower in the Pitts- 

 burgh district, incorporated his green- 

 house business, calling it the Pitts- 

 burgh Eose & Carnatjion Co. This 

 company purchased attract of 220 acres 

 of land at Bakerstown and started the 

 Crystal Farm establishment, building 

 up one of the best equipped greenhouse 

 ranges in this country. The same per- 

 sons being interested in both compa- 

 nies, they decided to consolidate under 

 the name of the Pittsburgh Cut Flower 

 Co. Their faith in the business, and in 

 Pittsburgh, western Pennsylvania, Ohio 

 and West Virginia, was strong and 

 they worked quietly to build up a per- 

 manent business, believing that good 

 methods would assure holding the trade 

 in the territory they were after. 



The result shows they were fully jus- 

 tified. They were compelled to look 

 for larger quarters from time to time, 

 until now they have built and occupy 

 what is probably the best equipped 

 building for handling cut flowers and 

 florists ° supplies in America. 



The greenhouse range at Crystal 

 Farm continued to grow with the busi- 

 ness until at present it consists of 

 twelve acres under glass, devoted to 

 the growing of cut flowers.
