ing had one of his fingers badly mashed 

 while making some repairs on the steam 

 pump, but he hopes to save the finger. 



Mr. Smith, grower for Jos. Seaman & 

 Co., Washington, Pa., and his wife were 

 visitors here this week. 



Miss E. B. Maxwell, of Wilkinsburg, 

 Pa., took advantage of the lull in trade 

 to spend a few days in Cleveland to re- 

 cuperate after the busy season. 



The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange has 

 moved into its new home and will have 

 much more room than in the old place. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is 

 branching out and now has two men on 

 the road selling supplies. 



Florists* Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met March 6 and 

 took up the subject for the evening, 

 which was ' ' Roses. ' ' The meeting was 

 well attended ; again let me call to the 

 attention of those who cannot remember 

 the meeting night that they are missing 

 a great deal, as each meeting becomes 

 more interesting. The display for Tues- 

 day night was one of which the grow- 

 ers of the Greater Pittsburg may feel 

 proud. 



The Minneapolis Floral Co. displayed 

 Kate Moulton but while the rose was 

 admired and believed to be a very good" 

 thing, tiie growers are so well satisfied 

 with the returns from Chatenay I doubt 

 if many will be planteu hero this season. 



W. H. Elliott, Brighton. Mass., had 

 an exhibit of gi-afted plants of Killar- 

 ney and Wellesley which were good; G. 

 & J. W. Ludwig, a vase of MacArthur 

 which were very fine, and Julius Ludwig 

 says the only fault he has with the rose 

 is that lie cannot get enough of them. 



The Floral Exchange, Tallytown, Pa., 

 had Brides. Maids, Chatenay,' Ivory and 

 Queen of Edgely. This stock was gen- 

 erally good but the Edgeh- were special- 

 ly fine. 



David Eraser, gardener for H. C. 

 Frick, had a vase of Killarney and Mr. 

 Fraser says next year it is the only rose 

 he will grow, as he ships all his flowers 

 to Mrs. Frick in New York and, be- 

 sides being her favorite rose, it carries 

 better than anything else he has shipped. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. showed 

 Maid, Bride, Cusin. Richmond, Chate- 

 nay, Killarney; Perlo and Bon Silene. '

Tlie Richmond, Chatenay and Killarney 

 were worthy of special mention. This 

 stock was all grown by the Pittsburg 

 Rose & Carnation Co. 



And last, but not by any moans least, 

 H, L. Blind & Bros, showed Maids and 

 Brides as fine as ever were seen; their 

 Killarney, Richmond and Beauties were 

 strictly up-to-date, also plants of Crim- 

 son and Baby Ramblers. 



This display of flowers was beyond 

 the ordinary show and called forth many 

 praises for the various growers who 

 could produce such stock, as well as 

 much valuable information on the how 

 to do it. Another feature of the even- 

 ing was the paper read by Neil McCal- 

 lum, of the Allegheny cemetery. 



It was conceded at the close of the 

 meeting that John Jones was the rignt 

 man in the right place as president of 

 the club and all felt that thoy were look- 

 ing forward to the niost prosperous year 

 for the Pittsburg Florists' Club. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



CLEVELAND. 



Business fot the pa«t ten dija has 

 been rotten. The shipping trade was the 

 only redeeming feature, as all local flor- 

 ists were sufferers and job lots were 

 about the only orders filled. It seems to 

 be worse this year than at the beginning 

 of Lent last year. 



Geo. Bate, of the Cleveland Cut i'lower 

 Co., with a party of friends, spent the 

 latter part of the week at the lakes, near 

 Akron, O., where they enjoyed some fine 

 bass fishing. He did not report the 

 number caught, but says they had a fine 

 time. 



S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, spent 

 several days in the city, and booked 

 many good orders. The craft are al- 

 ways glad to see him. C.
