The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 31, 1906. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



The approach of Decoration day has 

 caused a general awakening in every 

 part of the business. There has been 

 much improvement in the cut flower 

 trade. Eoses are still plentiful, but good 

 carnations do not seem so much in evi- 

 dence; in fact, hardly enough to go 

 around. The poorer grades of all kinds 

 of stock are abundant. Faded sweet 

 peas are worst of all. The wholesale 

 houses are all crowded with stock of 

 everything except what they want. 

 Smilax, which was so scarce for a while, 

 now seems to be more plentiful. At this 

 writing it looks as if there would scarce- 

 ly be enough stock for Decoration day. 



Plantsmen are now reaping their har- 

 vest. The continued hot weather is 

 making people anxious to get planting 

 done and they are pushing the plants- 

 men to the limit and by Wednesday 

 those who have not pretty well cleaned 

 up will probably not get as good prices 

 for their stock as are now prevailing. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



After another week of drouth we 

 have the pleasure of recording a fine rain 

 that gave the ground a much needed 

 soaking and will relieve many florists 

 of the job of watering their field stock. 



Bedding out has gone on extensively 

 during the last week and now the final 

 rush begins. As usual, the late ones, 

 with their orders for vase filling, are 

 coming to the front and expect instant 

 attention and the best of plants. 



We are sorry to report the death of 

 Mrs. Teilmann, of Marion, which oc- 

 curred May 24. Mrs. Teilmann had been 

 an invalid for quite a long while, but 

 her death came as a great shock to her 

 friends here. Mr. Teilmann has the sin- 

 cere sympathy of all in the great loss 

 he has sustained. 



Business keeps up to the mark and 

 promises to make a record. Peonies can 

 be had in quantity, roses and carnations 

 are not so plentiful, while outside 

 flowers, owing to the dry season, were 

 scarce for Decoration day. S.
