The Florists' Review 



July 15. 1915. 



PITTSBUBOH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh continues to ^et an ga^ 

 usual amount of rain, but the temper- 

 ature is more seasonable; if it con- 

 tinues, the vacationists will have real 

 summer weather. Business seems to 

 have dropped out of sight. While there 

 are still plenty of good flowers, the de- 

 mand for them seems to get less each 

 day. Beauties, gladioli, asters and 

 lilies are the most substantial flowers, 

 but there are also other good roses, val- 

 ley and cattleyas. There has been too 

 much rain for sweet peas. 



Samuel McClements has his whole 

 force busy putting his greenhouses in 

 shape for fall. He is strong for white 

 paint and cleanliness. The store will 

 receive attention later in the season. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, owing to the 

 change of grade on Penn avenue to 

 bring it above flood level, is raising the 

 store floor about two feet. They are 

 taking care of their trade, but under 

 difficulties. 



A. W. Smith, Jr., is finding his land- 

 scape department is going to keep the 

 force busy all summer. Other trade is 

 about as usual. 



Paul S. Randolph, Jr., provided the 

 Florists' Club with lunch at its last 

 meeting, as he is the latest benedict. 



Fred H. Eiegelmeier, the south side 

 florist, while out auto riding Friday 

 evening, July 9, was involved in a colli- 

 sion in which every person in both ma- 

 chines was injured, one fatally. Mr. 

 Eiegelmeier was badly shaken up, but 

 not seriously injured. Mrs. Eiegelmei- 

 er 's hip was broken and she was other- 

 wise injured. Their little girl was badly 

 cut by broken glass. A young lady 

 who was with them died from the shock 

 and a young man was badly injured. 

 All of the occupants of the other ma- 

 chine were more or less hurt and went 

 to the hospital. It appears that the 

 driver of the other machine was at 

 fault. 



C. L. Corbin, of Barnesville, O., and 

 Mr. ami Mrs. Muegel, of Latrobe, Pa., 

 were visitors last week. Martin Eeu- 

 kauf, on his way to the coast, accom- 

 panied by Mrs. Eeukauf, stopped to 

 pick up his orders here. Clarke.
