The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 14, 1908. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



There has been quite an improvement 

 in business and stock has shortened up 

 all around. Smilax is scarce and there 

 have not Ijpen nearly enough carnations 

 to supply the demand. 



The wholesale houses are cleaning up 

 nicely on everything. 



The retailers do not seem very busy, 

 but all are doing enough to keep them 

 moving. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday, May 

 5, with a fair crowd present, and after 

 attending to the regular business, took 

 up the exhibits. First was a plant of 

 calceolaria, shown by Mr. Marsden, gar- 

 dener for R. H. Boggs. Every grower 

 present admitted it was the best plant 

 he had ever seen and the grower took 

 the carpet to tell all he knew about 

 grooving calceolarias. He started out by 

 saying they were easily grown and an- 

 swered all questions put to him in a very 

 satisfactory way. Now, there is one 

 thing that is attracting attention at the 

 club and that is that Sewickley is sending 

 the fanciest stock coming to the club, 

 but, judging from information gathered 

 from time to time and allowing for 

 the fact that the Sewickley people have 

 plenty of money to buy everything good, 

 it is the attention and intelligent care 

 given their stock which enables these 

 growers to bring in the kind of exhibits 

 they are producing. 



Other exhibits were a specimen Den- 

 drobium thyrsiflorum in fine bloom, by 

 Frank Cook, gardener for Jas. H. Parks, 

 and an exhibit of general bedding stock 

 by Mr. Bach; the varieties were not 

 named, but he knew they were the kind 

 that sold and brought the price and that 

 was all he wanted. Schenley Conserva- 

 tories showed a yellow calceolaria and 

 other plants. 



The club was informed that Wm. Ham- 

 ilton, superintendent of Allegheny park 

 for the last thirty years, had resigned 

 and a committee was appointed to show 

 the respect of the club, of which more 

 later on. 



G. L. Pennock, of C. & G. L. Pennock, 

 Lansdowne, Pa., was a brief visitor. He 

 had been doing the west and was on his 

 way home. Hoo-Hoo. 



Benton Harbor, Mich. — B. L. Hall 

 is making arrangements to retire from 

 business. 



The Eeview is ahead of any other 

 paper for florists and I cannot do with- 

 out it. — H. W. Weight, Amarillo, Tex.
