The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



August 11, 1994. 



LOOK 



for the Exhibit 

 of 



BEGONIA "TEMPLINH" 



AT THE S. A. F. CONVENTION. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Trade still has the summer look and 

 most of the retail stores are running with 

 about half the force, the remainder be- 

 ing away on vacations. Good carna- 

 tions are very scarce, as the houses have 

 all been cleaned out and the outdoor 

 stock is not fit to use. Boses are im- 

 proving in quality and length of stem. 

 Some very fine Kaiserins are coming in. 

 The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. reports 

 business same as other years, with noth- 

 ing to complain of, but at the time the 

 tables were full of asters, which they were 

 offering for 25 cents per 100 and up. 



Various Notes. 



There is some convention talk and 1 

 feel quite sure that by the time they 

 are ready to go, the Pittsburg delega- 

 tion will numoer tmrty-nve or lorty. 



Earnest Zieger, manager for C. T. Sie- 

 bert^ has gone to Le Mars, Iowa, with his 

 family. They will stop at many points 

 of interest en route. 



Walter Breitenstein has packed his 

 canoe and gone to Sugar Island, to the 

 annual meet of the American Canoe As- 

 sociation. 



The new south side store of Geddis & 

 Blind Bros, is well under way. They 

 promise one of the best appointed stores 

 west of New York. These boys are hus- 

 tlers and, although one of the youngest 

 firms, they are getting their share of the 

 business. 



Anthony Smith is sending A. W. 

 Smith some of the finest asters and sweet 

 peas seen here this year. These are 

 grown on his Ohio farm. This is one of 

 Anthony's hobbies, but he makes it pay 

 just the/ same. 



George Eichhorn has returned from a 

 visit to Wilkesbarre, Pa., full of mining 

 information. George is the boy who 

 keeps them all on the move in the 

 Pittsburg Market. 



Mike Stafford, manager of Geddis & 

 Blind Bros.' south side store, is in St. 

 Louis floing the Pike. 



John (jTth, the McKeesport florist, is 

 spending his vacation at Atlantic City. 

 John is as good natured as he is big 

 around, arid when he lies down, it is 

 farther to jump over him than to run 

 around him. 



Visitors: B. Eschiier, of M. Rife & 

 Co.; Martin Reukftuf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co.; Arnold Eingier, of W. *W. Barn- 

 ard & Co. Hoo-Hoo. 



The Review has been of great benefit 

 to us. — ^W. H. NEWiiAN, Akron, N. Y.
