The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



April 11, 1907. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The week after Easter was not what 

 was expected of it by any means. Busi- 

 ness has not been good in a retail way; 

 nothing much doing except forced busi- 

 ness. A sign reading * ' Roses 25 cents 

 and 50 cents per dozen" in the window 

 of one of the best shops in the city tells 

 its own tale. 



Eoses are abundant and selling for 

 almost anything that is offered for them. 

 I would be ashamed to mention the 

 prices for which special Beauties have 

 been sold all the week. The Greeks have 

 their stands buried in good flowers of 

 all kinds, including immense bunches of 

 special Beauties. 



Variouf Notes. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- 

 ing, April 2. It was rose night, but the 

 only exhibitor in this line was the Pitts- 

 burg Eose and Carnation Co., which sent 

 a bunch of each of the varieties grown. 

 They were a creditable lot of stock and 

 received many eompliinents. Allegheny 

 Park showed cinerarias and an assort- 

 ment of blooming plants and Schenley 

 conservatories showed some fine hyacinth 

 plants. There was a good crowd present 

 and an enjoyable and profitable evening 

 was spent. A number of persons were 

 appointed to talk on credits at the next 

 meeting. As this is quite an important 

 part of the business and has never been 

 taken up by the club, it should be of 

 especial interest to all the commercial 

 members. 



Uncle John Wyland, while out driving 

 in his buggy Saturday night, April 6, 

 mixed it up with an automobile, the re- 

 sult being that Mr, Wyland was badly 

 shaken up and the horse seriously in- 

 jured. The auto was put out of com- 

 mission. 



James Wyland has the sympathy of 

 his many friends in the trade in the loss 

 of his wife, who died Monday, April 8, 

 leaving one child. 



Randolph & McClements are busy 

 moving into their new store, having sold 

 the old property some time ago. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Lafayette, Ind. — V. Dorner & Sons 

 Co. is clearing the ground for an addi- 

 tion to its establishment. Five houses 

 each 200 feet long are to go up imme- 

 diately.
