The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBBB 6, 1004. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The past week has given us a taste 

 of some of the good things expected this 

 season. Trade has had a healthy growth 

 for two weeks, and this, with some very 

 large funeral orders, has used up all the 

 available stock, so that we can safely re- 

 port a very satisfactory week. 



The death of H. W, Williams, the pro- 

 prietor of the leading variety theatre, 

 made a boom in funeral work Saturday 

 and Sunday. There were about thirty 

 large designs, ranging from $10 to $75 

 each, the largest display of handsome de- 

 signs seen here in years. "While all the 

 florists had a portion of this work, E. 

 C. Ludwig certainly had the lion's share. 



An Opening;. 



E. C. Ludwig opened his new store on 

 East Diamond street, Allegheny, last 

 Thursday. The store is certainly a credit 

 to the city; it is finished all in white, 

 and the furniture of green oak. The 

 counters are all heavy marble tops and 

 movable tables. In the rear he has a 

 conservatory the width of the store, about 

 twenty feet, heated with one of Lord & 

 Burnham's hot water boilers. The total 

 depth of store and conservatory is about 

 lOQ feet. As souvenirs he had flower 

 pots made with his name stamped on 

 them and filled with small seedling palms 

 or ferns; he gave away several thousand 

 of these, and as the crowd continued to 

 come in he fell back on fiowers and was 

 still handing them out to crowds of vis- 

 itors at 10 p. m. The craft congratulate 

 Ernest on this, another evidence of his 

 energy. 



Various Notes. 



J. K. Hutchinson, who has been doing 

 landscape gardening in Sewickley, will 

 open a cut flower store next Thursday 

 and, as he is well known in that section, 

 which is the suburban home of the most 

 fashionable set about Pittsburg, we pre- 

 dict for him a successful future. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. were 

 pushing chrysanthemums, Beauties, and. 

 good violets last week. The violets were 

 very fine for this season. 



A. W. Smith has been showing some 

 fine pink mums. Glory of Pacific, the 

 past week. He reports fall business as 

 looking even better than last year. 



There is much complaint about the way 

 our custom house assesses duty on bulbs, 

 charging about the same for the cheaper 

 bulbs as for the best grades. It seems 

 almost impossible for some of the smaller 

 importers to get the necessary informa- 

 tion from them, how to get their goods, 

 which causes a great deal of loss of time 

 and some profanity. 



L. I. Neff 's is the only store in Pitts- 

 burg making a good display of bulbs; 

 in fact, the only store in this city hand- 

 ling a complete line of bulbs and seeds 

 in a retail way, as well as plants and 

 cut flowers. W. C. Beckert, Allegheny, 

 makes a specialty of flower and vegetable 

 seeds and bulbs, wholesale and retail. 



Jos. Thomas, of Greensburg, Pa., who 

 has been in the business as a plantsman 

 for some years, is about to open a store 

 and take up the cut flower end of the 

 business. He is a hustler and never fails 

 in anything he undertakes. 



For the past few years the trade has 

 been making a feature of bells for Christ- 

 mas made of sawdust, immortelles and 

 paper; it remained for Mr. Elverson, the 

 pot man, to ring in a clay one, and it
