The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



April 18, 1907. 



«TTSBURG. 



The Market 



A week of miserable -weather has 

 shortened up stock and business has im- 

 proved enough to use all the good stock 

 coming in, but prices have not improved 

 much and Beauties seem to fare worse 

 than anything else. These conditions give 

 the retailers more work, put them in a 

 better humor and relieve the wholesale 

 houses of part of their burden. Satur- 

 day found almost everyone pretty well 

 cleaned up.' 



Carnations are scarcer than at any 

 time for a good while, but, as there 

 seems to be a break in the weather, no 

 doubt they will come along in a few 

 days. Bulbous stock is not so much in 

 evidence, but there is not much demand 

 for the little coming in. 



"When one sees the florists buying coal 

 for their wagon heaters in the middle of 

 April it is hard to believe that we are 

 in the middle of spring. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Go. is dis- 

 posing of quantities of yellow Spanish 

 iris, white antirrhinum, yellow daisies 

 and sweet peas. 



The new city administration is trying 

 to clean up the market house by remov- 

 ing all stands on the outside, against the 

 wall. This will remove about four cut 

 flower stands, and while most of them 

 will get outside stands they will all be 

 inconvenienced a good deal and will not 

 be able to make the same show. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



DETROIT. 



The Market. %* 



There has been a noticeable lull in-i 

 business. With the exception of funeral 

 work, there has been nothing doing. Cool, 

 dark days have had their effect on the 

 shipments. The local commission houses 

 cleaned up well last week on all stock. 

 Edses and carnations are of good qual- 

 ity. Smilax and ferns are very scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The opening of the baseball season on 

 Thursday, April 11, created a scarcity 

 of help at most of the floral establish- 

 ments about town. H. S. 



ZiON City, III. — C. A. Martin has 

 bought the greenhouses formerly con- 

 ducted as the Horticultural Department 

 of Zion City. 



Madison, Ind. — Fred W. Pfister has 

 recently completed his new residence and 

 moved into it.
