The Weekly Florists* Review* 



OCTOBBB 8, 1908. 



was an arcB, sEowing fine electric effects, 

 just at the entrance. 



Randolph & McClements, the Zieger Co. 

 and Blind & Brbs.^ in the east end, took 

 advantage of ; the, fact that their con- 

 servatories are along the street front, 

 and made exhibits of plants that were 

 worth going out of the way to see. 



The «ity parks were represented in 

 the parade by a float showing a garden, 

 with beds of flowers and plants. The 

 city colors were flying from the comer 

 poles. The garden hose and lawn mowers 

 were conspicuous and it was surround- 

 ed by marching men carrying park imple- 

 ments. It was quite unique, eliciting 

 many admiring comments along the line. 



The committee that arranged for and 

 decorated the florists ' float deserves great 

 credit, as among the many floats, some 

 costing several thousand dollars, theirs 

 called forth as many compliments as any, 

 being cheered all along the line. It 

 represented an Indian maiden in a canoe, 

 coining out of the primeval forest and 

 wild flowers into a garden of the pres- 

 ent day, luxuriant with yellow roses. The 

 sides »f the float were festooned with 

 garlands of laurel, and beautiful pen- 

 nants of the city colors floated from 

 the front standards of the float. It was 

 hauled by six beautiful horses, each led 

 by a postilion wearing a black coat and 

 yellow vest and knee breeches, after the 

 style of Father Pitt. Every detail was 

 perfect and a credit to the trade. 



Variotn Notes. 



Mrs. Jacob Elicker, of Homestead, had 

 a fire Friijay, October 2, which dam- 

 aged the upper and rear portion of the 

 store. However, they are still able to 

 take care of their business while the re- 

 pairs are going on. 



Among the visitors the last week were 

 Miss Margaret Schneider and Mr. and 

 Mrs. Scbaffer, Johnstown, Pa.; Miss 

 Leizmann, Latrobe, Pa.; W. R. McKean 

 and Joseph Haube, Charleroi, Pa.; Geo. 

 L. Huscroft, Steubenville, O.; N. C. Zoel- 

 ler, Wellsville, O. 



A. E. McCoyd, of the Arcade, closed 

 his stand on the day of the parade and 

 armed himself with a bladder on a stick 

 to protect his glass cases from the crowd. 

 They kept him busy and he seemed' to be 

 getting lots of fun out of his job. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



I HAVE only been a subscriber to the 

 Review for about four months, but I 

 estimate it has saved me at least $25 

 in cash, paid out for stock, and I con- 

 sider it the best publication I reeeive. —
