The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



JUNB 28, 1906. 



PITTSBUHG. 



The Market. 



June is winding up the season in 

 good shape. All good stock finds ready 

 sale, and the last week took much of 

 the poorer with it. There is still con- 

 siderable business in sight for this week. 

 The retailers are managing to keep 

 fairly busy, but the wholesale houses 

 wind up their day's work with about 

 three hours in the morning. 



VariouB Notes. 



A. W. Smith is handling some fine 

 white phlox, which comes in good shape 

 for benches in the large decorations 

 which he has been handling. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is han- 

 dling fine Beauties and lilies, as well as 

 peonies, which are as good as at any 

 time during their season. 



Last Monday a severe storm, with 

 heavy hail, visited this vicinity, and 

 while it did much damage to gardens, 

 cutting everything to pieces, it fortu- 

 nately managed to miss all the green- 

 houses. The only broken glass beard of 

 was in hotbed sashes here and there. 



A. T. Vick, of Albion, N. Y., has been 

 a visitor here for several days. It was 

 his first visit to Pittsburg, and he was 

 interested in everything we have in the 

 manufacuring line, as well as the rail- 

 roads, which seem to stand on end in 

 getting to the tops of our mountains. 



The Florists' Club picnic committee 

 has not decided on a spot for the picnic 

 up to this time. Hoo-Hoo. 



KANSAS QTY. 



Lawrence M. Schwa ger, who has con- 

 ducted a flower store at 1300 Grand ave- 

 nue for a number of years and was ap- 

 parently doing a prosperous business, 

 has filed a petition in bankruptcy. He 

 places his liabilities at $2,000 and assets 

 at $400. 



Ballston Spa, N. Y. — John Schafer 

 died June 12. The business will be con- 

 tinued without change, his nephew, Chas. 

 Schafer, having acquired an interest. 



Lancaster, Pa. — Albert M. Herr, 

 secretary of the American Carnation So- 

 ciety, has mailed to members the annual 

 report, including the proceedings of the 

 Boston Convention of January 24-25. 

 Mr. llerr has much diflficulty in secur- 

 ing a stenographer who can report the 

 proceedings to his satisfaction.
