The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



Mat 7, 1908. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There has been only a slight improve- 

 ment in business. The weather has been 

 about as bad as could be possible. Cold, 

 wind, rain and snow have alternated 

 nearly all the week and stock has been 

 shortened considerably, but there is 

 plenty still coming in. 



Most of the growers have their car- 

 nations out and felt some alarm when, 

 with a couple of inches of snow, a cold 

 rain set in and the thermometer dropped 

 to the freezing point. However, no 

 bad results are noticeable and the plants 

 look well. Of course, the effect may 

 show later in stunted growth. The fruit 

 buds, however, seem all right and early 

 cherries are about as big as a pea. 



Among the retailers, things look quiet, 

 with no rush or excitement anywhere 

 along the line, although one does not 

 hear any complaints. The street men 

 were the worst off, the weather being 

 against them. 



Various Notes. 



That there is still money in this city 

 is evidenced by the fact that the grand 

 opera was crowded all the week, with 

 tickets selling at $3 to $6, and one of 

 OUT local retailers, who advertises, sold 

 20,000 roses Saturday at three dozen 

 for $1. From this it looks as if the 

 trade should keep awake and get what 

 is coming to them. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has 

 just finished its spring housecleaning 

 and looks very nice in the new spring 

 dress. Hoo-Hoo. 



AUSTIN, TEXAS. 



Olaf Olson is Jjuilding two more car- 

 nation houses for the coming season. 



Harry West, the amiable treasurer of 

 the Park Floral Co., for a long time a 

 sufferer from asthma, has recovered, so 

 that he is now fat and happy. 



Sweet peas are plentiful and outdoor 

 grown stuff is going to waste. High 

 winds are damaging outdoor roses. 



H. B. B. 



Cayuga, Ont. — Wadel Bros, have 

 placed a windmill on their property, to 

 be used in connection with their new 

 greenhouses. 



Fairfield, Conn. — George H. Smith, 

 the assistant postmaster here, who has 

 for some time been spending his leisure 

 hours as an amateur florist, has lately 

 developed this source of recreation into 

 a commercial enterprise. He has in- 

 creased the capacity of his greenhouses 

 and is growing both vegetables and 

 flowers for the trade.
