The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



OCTOBEB 5, 1906. 



PADUCAH, KY. 



Scbmaiis Bros, are building a new 

 house 30x150, to be used for plants. They 

 are the largest growers of plants in this 

 vicinity. Their roses and carnations are 

 looking well and promise good returns 

 during the coming season. 



C. L. Brunson & Co. have everything in 

 good shape. Their chrysanthemums are 

 fine; roses and carnations also are in 

 first-class shape. 



Robert E. Rudolph has added a new 

 house 18x125, planted to carnations. All 

 his place, excepting one house, is planted 

 to carnations which he is going to whole- 

 sale this season. 



PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



All of the strictly first-class stock com- 

 ing in is finding ready sale, as well as 

 part of the second grade. Dahlias are 

 fine and find a ready market, since asters 

 have dropped out. Taken as a whole 

 the cut flower business has been very sat- 

 isfactory, and things in general are as- 

 suming that steady appearance which will 

 last until next summer. 



Various Notes. 



Jacob Gerwig, who has made the 

 rounds of all the wholesale houses, has 

 now settled down with the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co. 



Last spring we spoke of a number of 

 large places which were to be built here 

 this summer, but it never got stronger 

 than wind. The presumption now is the 

 cold coin was not back of them. 



An involuntary petition in bankruptcy 

 was filed against Polites Brothers, Greek 

 florists and confectioners, at the corner 

 of Fifth avenue and Market street, and 

 with a stand in the Arcade, with the 

 usual result that several of the whole- 

 salers were caught for fair sums. 



Mr. and M^s. Jacob Elicker, of Home- 

 stead, celebrated the twentieth anniver- 

 sary of their wedding last Monday. Quite 

 a number of friends participated and 

 spent a pleasant evening. 



B. E. Blackley, of Homestead, has dis- 

 posed of his store to a company. The 

 names of those interested have not been 

 made known. 



W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., who is a Shriner, attended 

 the Shriners' outing at Bear Run and 

 says it is the first time he ever appre- 

 ciated the saying ' ' free as air, ' ' for any- 

 thing you saw and wanted and was able 

 to carry was yours for the taking. 



W. R. Maebius, of Lock No. 4, Pa., 

 has just completed eeveral new houses, 

 which are planted in carnations and look- 

 ing fine. 



Ed McCollum, of the Pittsburg Flo- 

 rists' Exchange, made good as a football 

 player. His team won their first game 

 Saturday from a much heavier team. 



L. I. Neff is cutting the finest Lawson 

 and Enchantress carnations seen so far 

 this season. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams has a very attrac- 

 tive stand in the exposition and is the 

 only one of the trade represented there. 



Mr. and Mrs. Samuel McClements were 

 visitors in the east last week. 



J. W. Glenn, of Kittanning, the tallest 

 florist in this section, standing about 

 seven feet, was a visitor with the Hep- 

 tasophs last week at the exposition. He 

 is as good natured as he is big.
