The Weekly Horists' Review* 



October 24, 190T. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The cut flower business has not been 

 all one could have desired the last two 

 weeks. Dahlias have been here in abun- 

 dance, and good stock at that, and last- 

 ed just long enough to create a demand 

 for them when on top of them came the 

 early mums. As there have been no 

 large decorations there was not much 

 demand for them and the bottom dropped 

 out of the price the first few days after 

 they came in. It is to be hoped they 

 will not get any cheaper this season. 

 The market is full of them, on sale from 

 .$3 per hundred upward, but it ^must be 

 fancy stock to bring $2.50 per 'dozen. 

 ' Beauties also felt the effect and sold 

 cheaper than at any time this year. We 

 had a killing frost the night of October 

 17 and it is to be hoped that prices will 

 go up from this time on. Boses are in 

 pretty good shape, but carnations are 

 ^till far short of the demand. 



Variotts Note*. 



The. retail stores have been compledn- 

 ing that business does not seem to take 

 on the usual October life. They all have 

 more decorations booked than at this 

 time last season, but the regular store 

 business is out of whack. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. have removed to 

 their new store, 714 Penn avenue, and 

 are ready for business. 



John Harris, who runs one of the Fifth 

 avenue street stands, is a victim of ty- 

 phoid fever. 



H. C. Frick opened his conservatories 

 to the public October 20 with a display 

 of chrysanthemums, orchids and be- 

 gonias. 



The great advance in the price of 

 boxes is causing the wholesalers some 

 concern and the only way they can see 

 out is to charge for packing small or- 

 ders, which will no doubt be generally 

 (lone. 



One of our retail men was compelled 

 to sue an undertaker last week, for 

 plants amounting to about $60, which 

 the undertaker appropriated from a fu- 

 neral job. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is car- 

 rying orchids in stock, a new departure 

 for the Pittsburg wholesalers, 



E. Volkwein, who for some year's has 

 been one of the principal vnre design 

 makers of this city, is now in charge 

 of the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. wire 

 shop. Hoo-Hoo. 



Cakton, Pa. — Terry Bros, have had 

 an extra good season and intend to build 

 a large greenhouse next spring.
