The Florists^ Review 



Mat 27. 1916. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh has been getting its 

 April rain during the last two weeks. 

 Shrubbery never looked finer than it 

 does just now; the parks are looking 

 their best. 



There has not been much complaint 

 about trade. Everyone is busy, though 

 there is nothing large as a rule. Stock 

 has been fine. There are plenty of 

 roses and lilies, but carnations have 

 hardly been up to the demand. Beau- 

 ties are not quite so plentiful and 

 prices have shown an advance. Some 

 local peonies are coming and they give 

 promise of being right for Memorial 

 day. Southern peonies, iris and gladi- 

 oli are on the market, but have not 

 shown much value. Pyrethrum is an- 

 other flower that does not seem much 

 in demand; The outlook for carnations 

 for the holiday is not good. Everyone 

 seems to be a little off crop, but the 

 peonies will fill the bill if they get 

 here right. 



Plantsmen are certainly "making 

 hay," even in the rain. The indica- 

 tions are that most of the planting 

 •will be done by Memorial day. 



The -wholesale houses have all been 

 handling heavy cuts of flowers, which 

 usually clean up, but some of the prices 

 are not entirely satisfactory. 



The retail stores which handle plants 

 are busy, but the cut flower people are 

 not pushed to any great extent. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had a pink wed- 

 ding last week. The wedding set in- 

 cluded seven bouquets of Bulgarie roses. 

 The church and house were decorated 

 with vases of fine, large, pink snap- 

 dragons. 



Bandolph & McClements have a large 

 wedding for Thursday, May 27, at 

 Youngstown, O. 



David Hill, the Fifth avenue fiorist, 

 has been on the sick-list. 



Abe Krongold, of the Victoria Flower 

 Shop, was married Sunday, May 23. 

 The couple will be at home to their 

 friends at their home in Beechview.
