The Weekly Horists' Review. 



Apbil 30, 1908. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



One feels almost ashamed to write 

 anything about the business the last 

 week, as conditions are about as bad 

 as ever were known. There are quan- 

 tities of everything coming in and noth- 

 ing to take it up. As a result, the whole- 

 sale houses are overstocked and the gar- 

 bage man is the only person who is 

 in any kind of spirits. 



Roses, lilies and carnations were never 

 finer or more plentiful. Beauties are 

 in abundance, but, with no market for 

 them, the wholesalers cannot put a price 

 low enough to attract purchasers. 



Varbus Notes. 



I. S. Crall Co., of Monongahela, is 

 putting up a new house. 



Grandpa Pfeifer, who was identified 

 with the flower business for many years, 

 died Saturday, April 25, in his eighty- 

 eighth year. Mr. Pfeifer was the father- 

 in-law of Fred Burki. He was buried 

 Monday from the home of his son on 

 Rush street, Allegheny. 



Next Tuesday, May 5, will be the 

 regular meeting night of the club and 

 will be, in a sense, a surprise party. 

 All members should be on hand to be 

 surprised. Hoo-Hoo. 



BROCKTON, MASS. 



W. W. Hathaway reports that Easter 

 trade was good but hardly equal to that 

 of a year ago. As usual, Easter lily 

 plants took the lead, with azaleas, ram- 

 bler and hybrid roses and bulbous stock 

 all in good demand. Cut flowers were 

 comparatively a side issue and sold slow- 

 ly as compared to plants. Of lily plants 

 be was over 100 pots short after selling 

 more than in 1907. Prices were 25 cents 

 per bud. 



Several of the large department stores 

 sold culls, called lilies, delivered by a 

 large lily specialist. These sold all the 

 way frohi 4 to 5 and 6 up to 12 cents 

 per bud, but this seemed to have no ef- 

 fect on trade at the florists' stores.

Fitzgerald, Ga. — Joel Thomas will 

 buUd an office and a 55-foot addition to 

 his greenhouse, both fronting on the 

 street. Part of the material is on hand.
