The Climax Cut Flower Boxes 



"A BOX FOR EVERY FLOWER" 



SEVEN GRADES- Oxford Gray, Mist Green, Nonpareil Green, White 

 Carnation, White Glazed and our popular "Favorite Grade"— the latter a heavy, 

 full telescope shipping box. Holiday boxes in their season. 



We have over 150 sizes in the different colors and shades in stock. If you 

 need a special size we will make it promptly and not charge you an exorbitant 

 price. 



"WHKN BETTER BOXES ARE MADS WE WILL MAKE THEM" 



Florist boxes are a specialty with us. We know what the florist needs and 

 how to make the box to meet his requirements. When it comes to Quality, Ar- 

 tistic Printing, Embossing and Quick Service, we are headquarters and on the job every minute. If you have never used a 

 "Climax Flower Box" you have missed something real good. Before placing your next order write us for samples and prices.

better than the flowers they have in 

 their own gardens, and that growers 

 could make larger profits if they would 

 grow better stock and bunch and pack 

 the asters with eaough care to reach 

 the market in a good condition. Of 

 course this would necessitate throwing 

 away the majority of the flowers 

 shipped to the commission man. If the 

 growers would adopt this method, there 

 would be no inferior stock packed in 

 peach baskets or jammed into boxes to 

 save express charges. Asters suffer 

 greatly when improperly packed, as 

 can be seen daily. 



It seems that Sunday closing in 

 Pittsburgh has not won favor, for all 

 the houses are open Sunday morning. 

 A good deal of stock is shipped into 

 the city on Sundays, and in justice to 

 the growers it seems necessary to re- 

 ceive and care for the stock. 



Various Notes. 



Fred Burki and P. S. Randolph went 

 to Philadelphia last week to attend 

 the H. F. Michell Co. field day. 



Visitors last week were M. Coulter 

 Kent, of Newark, O.; John Walker, of 

 Youngstown, O.; J. Goudy, represent- 

 ing Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadel- 

 phia; I. Eosnosky, of the H. F. Michell 

 Co., Philadelphia, and Julius Dilloff, 

 representing Schloss Bros., of New 

 York. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' and Gar- 

 deners' Club met September 8. The 

 gladiolus was the subject under dis- 

 cussion. An exhibit from Bidwell & 

 Fobes, of Kinsman, O., represented all 

 the popular sorts. P. S. Randolph, who 

 undertook to grow asters for the mar- 

 ket, says this is his last year. He 

 says that while you can buy seeds 

 cheap, you have to sell the flowers 

 cheaper and perhaps not sell them at 

 all. John Jones, of Schenley park, had 

 an exhibition of red helianthus, which 

 showed up well. The attendance was 

 good, considering the hot weather.

NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



The last ten days have seen a decided 

 change for the better in the flower 

 situation at Nashville. Cool weather 

 has improved the quality of carnations 

 and roses, and has had the far more 

 important effect of causing an early

return of many who spend their sum- 

 mers out of the city. As the city 

 schools opened last week, and as many 

 of the colleges and private institutions 

 open their doors either this week or 

 next, there probably will be no more 

 stagnation of business this year. All 

 the florists say that there has been a 

 decided improvement in business con- 

 ditions. The growers here have had 

 no trouble from excessive rains, as 

 have those in other parts of the coun- 

 try. Stock in general never was in a 

 better condition.
