The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Pkbruary 25, 1909. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Trade conditions have not shown much 

 change, although comparing it with last 

 year it is some better. Carnations have 

 been somewhat scarce, but there are 

 enough other flowers of all kinds. Koses 

 are getting finer and more plentiful 

 every day ; good Beauties continue scarce. 

 Violets clean up, but at low prices. For 

 some reason this flower will not bring the 

 prices of former years. The lilies, tulips 

 and jonquils coming in are especially 

 fine. 



The retail stores are keeping up fine 

 displays in their windows and it seems 

 to be necessary to do this and anything 

 else possible to stimulate trade. The 

 close of the fashionable season is usually 

 the best of the winter for florists, but, 

 while there are many small social affairs, 

 they do not have much effect on the busi- 

 ness. 



Various Notes. 



One of the retailers says in looking 

 over the year's business he finds that his 

 profits are not much less than other 

 years, notwithstanding the fact that the 

 decoration business has been almost noth- 

 ing, and he is satisfied that the trouble 

 in other years has been that the wealthy 

 have been keeping him and his force busy 

 and enabling them to make a big show, 

 while he made his profits off the smaller 

 trade. Hereafter the smaller buyers will 

 command more respect from him. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams is one of our peo- 

 ple who says she has no word of com- 

 plaint to make, as her trade, while not 

 up to other years, at least has kept her 

 busy and shows a fair profit. 



Randolph & McClements have moved 

 their Highland store to Penn avenue, 

 where they will be able to make a better 

 show. Their principal store will still 

 remain at Baum and Beatty streets. 



Samuel McClements was host at a din- 

 ner given to a number of his friends at 

 the Eittenhouse February 15. 



President Burki has been looking over 

 the grounds and says he thinks he will be 

 able to secure the finest accommodations 

 the Carnation Society has ever had for 

 next year. Ho says Pittsburg will have 

 a big show anu it must be placed right. 



Thos. Smith, of the Pitvsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., participated iu the big 

 Marathon race February 2t', in which 

 there were almost 5,000 entries. He 

 came in for a prize. 



W. H. Siebrecht, Sr., of New Rochelle, 

 N. y., was a visitor last week, stopping 

 on his way west. Hoo-Hoo.
