The Weekly Florists' Review* 



March 7, 1907. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Another week of Lent has made no 

 change in business. There is nothing of 

 importance doing in a social way, and, as 

 a result, business is quiet. Funerals and 

 small trade do not create demand enough 

 to use up the stock brought in and prices 

 have fallen to the bottom. Bulb stock 

 is not in demand, with the exception of 

 Murillo and yellow tulips. Good carna- 

 tions are selling as cheap as $15 per 

 thousand. Roses, alone, are not plenti- 

 ful. Violets are in abundance, and if 

 you buy in quantities you make the price. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving a limited supply of fine lilies, 

 but with prospects of plenty for the last 

 of the month. W. Q. Potter is calling 

 on out-of-town trade. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. have been han- 

 dling this season some fine stock from 

 the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. 



John Wyland has a big crop of Rich- 

 mond on just now, which are fine. 



Charles Hoffman, of Allison Park, is 

 handling real estate, in connection with 

 his greenhouses, and says the odds are 

 in favor of real estate. 



T. R. Dunn, who is running the old 

 Gibb place, has been on the sick list for 

 some time. 



The special meeting which had been 

 proposed for the Florists ' Club has been 

 postponed for the present, the committee 

 not having been able to make the de- 

 sired arrangement. 



Randolph & McClements have three 

 houses going up on their new place. 

 These are the first of a new range and 

 are intended for palms and decorative 

 stock. 



W. J. Smith is supplying A. W. Smith 

 with quantities of fine sweet peas and 

 bulb stock. 



G. & J. W. Ludwig, of the Allegheny 

 Market, have been busy the last week 

 with funeral work. 



Ernest Ludwig, we believe, is the only 

 florist in this country who keeps his store 

 open day and night the year around. His 

 stand in the market is worth a visit any 

 time. Hoo-Hoo. 



Cameron, Mo. — Allan Pfander, a young 

 man 22 years of age, has just started in 

 business and is doing well. He will erect 

 a house here the coming season. 



Enclosed find $1 for another year's 

 subscription to the Review, which so 

 long as I am in the business I will never 

 be without.— Louis H. Seaman, Danbury, 

 Conn.

An Immense Stock of Choice 



EASTER PLANTS 



Blooming Caster Week 



or earlier if desired, are now ready 

 lor immediate shipment. 



Oome or matl your order direct to the head- 

 quarters. Our reputation over the entire country 

 from the Atlantic to the Pacific In growing Eas- 

 ter stock for the wholesale market for many 

 years past ought to be sufficient guarantee as to 

 the truth of what we say and aaverilse. We 

 have every bouse, nook and corner full of plants 

 aijd they were never so fine as ibis year, 1907. 



While laborers, merchants. Jobbers, contract- 

 ors, builders, etc., have Increased ihelr prices al- 

 most double as u^ual, we have not advanced our 

 prices; but look, we sell our plants at the same 

 old prices charged two or three years ago when 

 the cost of producing plants was much cheaper. 



What was my dnty on my trip to Glient, 



BelKlnm (the land of azaleas, arancarias 



and palms), last fall, 1906 7 Answer: Of 



course, the interests of my customers, not 

 speaking of the 1100 souvenir cards which I 

 mailed to my customers in America. For the 

 betieQt of my customers I also C>ought Azalea 

 Indlca for Easter trade, the cream of Belgium's 

 production that money could buy.

Now I am able to offer to my customers, and the 

 trade in general, two houses full of Mme. Vander 

 Cruyssen azaleas, the well known and much 

 favored b^st double pink azalea that has given so 

 much satisfaction all over America Plants as
