The Weekly Florists^ Review*

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



This has been horse show week in 

 Pittsburg and much was expected of it 

 in the way of helping along the cut 

 flower business. While there were quite 

 a number of social affairs which called 

 for decorations, on the whole the re- 

 sults were not up to expectations. How- 

 ever, business in general has been good 

 among the shops. 



Among the wholesalers chrysanthe- 

 mums are flooding them out. There 

 never was a week when so many of these 

 flowers were handled and prices were 

 correspondingly low, buyers getting all 

 they wanted at their own prices. Every- 

 thing else was almost as bad. The ex- 

 ceedingly warm weather simply forced 

 in everything. The weather changed 

 Sunday, showers most of the day and 

 getting colder at night, which will 

 shorten up the stock and give the whole- 

 salers a little time to get their wind. 



Variotn Notes. 



The Florists* Club met Tuesday eve- 

 ning with quite a large and enthusiastic 

 crowd present, and a fine display of 

 chrysanthemums on exhibition. All the 

 local growers were represented with 

 some fine stock and it was generally 

 conceded that the flowers as a whole 

 were the best ever shown in this city. 

 Phipps Conservatory and A. E. Peacock 

 had a fine display from their collec- 

 tions. Fred Burki, H. L. Blind & Bros., 

 Goodwin & Sons and F. H. Westhoff all 

 showed commercial varieties for cut 

 flower purposes. Exhibits from out of 

 town include those from Thomas Meehan 

 & Sons, R. Vincent, Jr., & Son, C. Peter- 

 son and E. G. Hill Co. Charles H. 

 Totty, of Madison, N, J., sent White 

 Duckham, which was fine. After a 

 thorough examination and discussion of 

 the varieties, a committee was appointed 

 to judge the varieties and write the out- 

 of-town exhibitors the thanks and the 

 opinions of the varieties exhibited. 



At the next meeting Christmas plants 

 and suggestions will be considered, and 

 four or five members have been appoint- 

 ed to give brief talks along these lines. 

 All are invited to bring a flower or plant 

 of something they have interesting. 



A. M. Murdoch was on the sick list 

 for several days last week. 



Frank Faulk, of Faulk Bros., Alle- 

 gheny market, has the hunting fever. A 

 couple of days in the woods this week 

 will put him in good shape again. 



Mrs. Elicker, who was on the sick 

 list, is convalescent. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving fine violets, and the horse show 

 caused enough demand to help them 

 clean up nicely last week. Hoo-Hoo.

Karly in October a Grower from Up- 

 State Came to Have a Look at ... . 



POCaHONTSS 



He was surprised to see the crop of buds and its general ap- 

 pearance. Said that if it looked as well in January as it did then 

 he would want a good lot of it. Said he has been worrying along 

 with Fenn for want of something better in quality. Many other 

 growers are having the same experience, and all such should come - 

 and see Pocahontas. Come any time. It is never cfiE crop.
