The Florists' Review 



OCTOBIB 28, ldl5. 



PITTSBUBQH. 



Tlie Market. 



Business seems to have decreased 

 since the last report, but not enough to 

 cause any complaint. Stock of all kinds 

 has become more plentiful; Chrysanthe- 

 mums and roses are in heavier supply 

 and carnations are gradually improving 

 in quality and increasing in quantity. 

 Lilies and valley, which have been 

 scarce, now appear to be more plentiful 

 and of better quality. Yellow pompon 

 chrysanthemums are good. Orchids are 

 plentiful and the demand for them is 

 heavy. Violets are arriving, but they 

 are nothing extra. They meet an in- 

 different demand. As a whole, business 

 is much better than last year. 



Various Notes. 



The McCallum Co. has sold its Cleve- 

 land store to W. Q. Potter. George 

 Marshall has been elected vice-presi- 

 dent of the company. 



A. E. Grass, stockman for the A. W. 

 Smith Co., is feeling rather proud these 

 days and has been quite liberal with 

 his cigars. It's a boy. 



John Jones, foreman at Phipps Con- 

 servatory, is a busy man at present. 

 He is making preparations for his fall 

 show, which means that all the plants 

 in several large houses must be moved 

 to make room for the chrysanthemum 

 display. The show will open about No- 

 vember 1. The mums are all pot-grown 

 this year and are of exceptional quality. 



Nuernberg & Boyle, Turtle Creek, Pa., 

 are the proprietors of one of the new 

 flower stores opened this fall. 



Bandolph & McClements had a spe- 

 cial window display of asters and 

 other flowers, which caused considerable 

 comment among the trade. Every flo- 

 rist's window in the city is attractively 

 trimmed. It is siafe to say that in no 

 other trade has there been so great an 

 improvement in window decorations as 

 in the florists' trade. 



The death of Henry Baldinger is re- 

 ported in this week's obituary column. 



The retail stores had splendid win- 

 dow displays of dahlias last week. Mrs. 

 E. A. Williams secured a unique color 

 effect by the use of dahlias, ribbons, 

 crotons and ferns. Clarke.
