The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



OcTOBEn 20, 1904. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Trade has been holding up very well 

 this week, with the exception of one or 

 two days, which were a little quiet. 

 Chrysanthemums have the center of the 

 stage at present and were never more 

 plentiful or as good as this season. Berg- 

 mann, Pacific, Estelle and "Willowbrook 

 are about cut. Omega, Chalfant, October 

 Sunshine and White Robinson are now 

 on the board and are exceptionally fine. 

 The good ones command fair prices and 

 the poorer ones are sold very cheap. 



Various Notes. 



The Liberty Flower Market opened a 

 new flower stand in the Liberty Market. 

 The result was a stirring up of things in 

 general and a cutting down of prices, as 

 it is reported that carnations sold two 

 dozen for 25 cents and chrysanthemums 

 at 50 cents per dozen. Some say com- 

 petition is the life of trade, and it cer- 

 tainly had the e£^ect of making things 

 quite lively out that way. 



Jos. E. Bonsall, of Salem, O., who 

 sold out his greenhouses and retail busi- 

 ness last spring, could not 'stand being 

 idle and put up a few houses just to 

 amuse himself, in which he is growing 

 mums and such stoek as will be cleaned 

 «at before the houses freeze up, as he has 

 not provided heat of any kind. When 

 they freeze up . he is going to lock the 

 doors and take his good wife for a pleas- 

 ure trip to Washington, D. C, Richmond, 

 Va., Old Point and finally to Florida to 

 finish the winter. He says there will be 

 no schedule, but just move about as the 

 humor takes them. Boys, that is what in- 

 dustry, honesty, strict integrity and thrift 

 will bring you if you work at it. 



The wholesalers and retailers are 

 about to form bowling teams. They met 

 for the first practice on one of the local 

 alleys last Friday night and all seemed 

 full of enthusiasm about it. If this en- 

 thusiasm holds out and some of the boys 

 get over their curiosity about what the 

 holes are in the ball for, and find out 

 ,that they do not need to throw the ball 

 MO that it will drop in the center of the 

 pine^ some of the eastern and western 

 friends will have to look to their laurels. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. are completing 

 a very fine refrigerator in their new store 

 9iid are making things look quite com- 

 fortable, as well as making quite a bid 

 for their share of the business. 



T. M. Ulam & Co. had quite a rush the 

 latter part of the week in large funeral 

 designs. Tom is a hustler and usually 

 gets his share of the good things going 

 about. 



The Blind boys, who recently changed 

 all the roads on their place so as to cut 

 out all grades and give the place a better 

 appearance, are finishing by erecting a 

 large bank bam. 



Ernst Fischer, of Castle Shannon, has 

 bought a farm out on the Brownsville 

 road and will move his greenhouse plant 

 to the new location. Thus the PittM)urg 

 smoke drives the cut flower growers far- 

 ther out every year. 



W. A. Clarke spent last Sunday at 

 Crystal farm, visiting Fred Burki. I 

 wish you could hear him enthuse. 



Uncle John Wyland is cutting some 

 very fine carnations, which he is sending 

 to the Florists' Exchange. 



P. H. Westhoflf, of Allison Park, is 

 «uttiDg some very fine carnations. 



The Washington Floral Co., Washing- 

 ton, Pa., is consigning the Cut Flower 

 Co. some fine mums and carnations. 



Hoo-Hoo.
