The Weekly Florists' Review*

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Not being able to get notes off for 

 last week's issue, I believe it not out 

 of place to mention that Valentine's 

 day was a hummer and cleaned up a 

 whole week's accumulation. Most of 

 the retail stores made a feature of flo- 

 ral valentines, and one house, which ad- 

 vertised them very extensively, shows 

 almost 1,000 deliveries for the day. In 

 the language of the firm, it was an 

 "early Easter." 



Last week, I am sorry to say, there 

 was no Valentine's day; Washington's 

 birthday did not count. There was an 

 awful accumulation of stock. The com- 

 mission men pushed hard to get rid of 

 it and prices were certainly low enough, 

 but they could not make the demand, 

 and as a result the garbage man got 

 more than his share. In many instances 

 growers are complaining that they are 

 not getting as much for their stock as 

 last year and pretend not to understand 

 it, but from present indications they will 

 before spring. 



The stock coming heaviest at this time 

 is carnations, peas, violets, myosotis, 

 mignonette and tulips. 



There have been just about roses 

 enough to go around nicely. 



Various Notes. 



Ernest Ludwig is amusing himself on 

 the Pacific coast and sending his friends 

 postal cards. Just when we have the 

 worst kind of weather a batch of postals 

 will arrive saying, "Weather fine here; 

 flowers in bloom outdoors. ' ' 



Otto Miner, the landscape gardener 

 who has recently been running a flower 

 store at New Brighton, was married Feb- 

 ruary 20 to a McKees Rocks lady. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. made 

 some large shipments of wire designs 

 last week. 



Mr. Thompson, grower for C. H. 

 Cramer, Uniontown, Pa., is a victim of 

 the grippe. 



John Nichols, of Scottsdale, Pa., has 

 been ill most of the winter. 



T. J. Allen, Charleroi, Pa., has open- 

 ed a new store. 



Mr. Steele, of Uniontown, expects to 

 open a store in the near future. 



Myers Bros., Altoona, are to build a 

 number of houses this spring. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Bloomsburg, Pa. — The J. L. Dillon 

 estate says that trade here has been ex- 

 tremely good, in spite of the general 

 financial stringency. The demand has 

 been much larger than the supply. 



Marquette, Mich. — E. R. Tauch says 

 he is more than satisfied with the busi- 

 ness he is doing, for he has need of much 

 more stock than he can produce under his 

 own glass and has to draw heavily on 

 the Chicago market.
