The Weekly Flonsts^ Review* 



May 24, 1906. 



PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



We have just come through a week 

 that has given us a taste of summer 

 business. There was a great deal of 

 comment along this line from all the re- 

 tailers, as the sudden dropping off of 

 trade came in the nature of a shock. 

 However, they expect to do better this 

 week, and no doubt the Knights Tem- 

 plar conclave will help some. 



Among the wholesale houses, roses, 

 sweet peas and white carnations came in 

 in an avalanche, and could be bought at 

 the buyer's own price, as they were only 

 too glad to get them out of sight. 

 ; Beauties were as bad as anything else, 

 so, taken as a whole, one must call it 

 an unsatisfactory week. 



Variotss Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. »villiams' force is very 

 busy with the Templar decorations. 



"While the cut flower dealers are com- 

 plaining, the plantsmen are getting in 

 their work. The hot weather rushed 

 them to the limit, and stock is going out 

 as fast as it can be packed. Nearly ail 

 say they will be cleaned up by Decora- 

 tion day. 



John Bader's large force is working 

 night and day getting out bedding and 

 porch plants. 



Ben Elliott could not keep out of the 

 business. He is helping John Bader 

 through his rush. 



J, W. Glenn, of Kittanning, this sum- 

 mer will put up a greenhouse for decora- 

 tive stock in the rear of his store. 

 " *'*• M. Blaha, of Aspinwall, has a fine 

 stock of geraniums, which are bringing 

 him $10 per hundred wholesale, and he 

 does not have to seek buyers. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Please discontinue my advertisement 

 of ferns; I have sold my entire stock. 

 The Eeview does the work, all right. — 

 Mrs. a. Duebendorfer, Elwood, Ind.
