The Weekly Florists' Review* 



September 20, 1906. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Another week of extreme heat has not 

 helped business, but has had the efifeck 

 of bringing in such quantities of asters 

 as to flood everything and everybody j 

 in fact, a salesman in one of the whole- 

 sale houses almost shed tears of joy 

 when he made a sale of 100 bunches for 

 $5; it seemed to be anything to get 

 them out of sight. 



The small roses coming in fared even 

 worse than the asters. A few of the 

 best supplied all wants and the balance 

 went to the dump. Gladioli have cleanea 

 up nicely all week and more could have 

 been used, but taken as a whole it was 

 unsatisfactory to the wholesalers. 



Variooi Notes. 



The retail stores are making fall re- 

 pairs and changes, each trying to pui 

 on something different in the way of 

 arrangement and decoration. There has 

 been lots of growling about slow trade 

 all week with most of them. 



Mrs. E. A. "Williams seemed to have 

 the lion's share of the horse show busi- 

 ness. This with the decoration for the 

 anniversary of McCreery's, the largest 

 department store in the city, kept her 

 people busy all week. 



Most of the growers hereabouts still 

 are looking for carnation plants, stem- 

 rot getting the best of some of them. 



The Saxonwald Nursery, of Castle 

 Shannon, has torn down and rebuilt the 

 entire plant this summer. Most of the 

 houses already are covered in. 



Butz Bros., of New Castle, have re- 

 built several old houses and added one 

 new one this summer. 



A. W. Smith is making an entire 

 change in the arrangement of his store, 

 adding many improvements, among them 

 a glass awning extending out to the 

 curb. Hoo-HOO. 



Doubtless, yoo 

 have been waiting 



a long time for ventilating 

 apparatus at a reasonable 

 cost before equtpping your 

 bouses, or a line that does 

 the work so satisfactorily 

 that it is a pleasure to have 

 in the house. Our customers 

 are all highly pleased with 

 the service we give them. 

 We are quite certain that 

 our prices will suit you. At 

 least give us a chance to 

 figure with you.
