The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Dkcbmber 2, 1909. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



This week is starting out with a slight 

 shortage of flowers. Chrysanthemums are 

 about cleaned up, and for some reason 

 roses and carnations are not so plentiful. 



Thanksgiving was all that was expected 

 of it, as it is usually only a little better 

 than a good Saturday. The retailers re- 

 port the results as fair. Some ran ahead 

 and others behind last year. All agree, 

 however, in saying that there were more 

 sales, but that the sales were smaller. 

 The wholesale houses make better re- 

 ports, stating that stock generally cleaned 

 up at fair prices, though prices did not 

 advance on anything. It was what might 

 be called a comfortable Thanksgiving 

 trade, with enough stock to give every 

 one anything that was asked for and not 

 much wasted. From a wholesale stand- 

 point, it was the best for several years. 



Among the growers, mums are about 

 done and carnations are beginning to 

 come better. Roses will likely be a short 

 cut for some time, probably until the 

 holidays. Lilies, Paper Whites and mi- 

 gnonette are coming to the front; also 

 sweet peas, which do not seem to be very 

 attractive at this time. 



Various Notes. 



E. C. Ludwig, of the north side, Pitts- 

 burg, reports having had an old-time 

 Tlianksgiving business. He says that 

 good, fresh stock and reasonable prices 

 are what are wanted every holiday, and 

 as he does not jump his prices, even 

 though his profits might be less, he 

 keeps his people coming regularly and 

 the balance is always on the right side. 



It is not long since autos were con- 

 sidered mostly ornaments for advertising 

 purposes, but now they are an actual ne- 

 cessity for up-to-date florists and sev- 

 eral more will be here in a few days, 

 when about all of our retailers will be 

 equipped. 



A trolley car struck a wagon belong- 

 ing to Miss E. B. Maxwell, Wilkinsburg, 

 Pa., and the driver was quite seriously in- 

 jured. The young man who took his 

 place was also injured the following day 

 by falling out of the wagon. 



Mrs. Jacob Elicker, Homestead, Pa., 

 has been confined to bed for several 

 weeks and is still quite ill. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Appleton, Wis. — Boelter & Zuehlke, 

 of the Riverside Greenhouses, devoted 

 more space than usual to chrysanthe- 

 mums this year, on account of the in- 

 creasing demand for these flowers. The 

 firm had an especially fine and complete 

 display of the mums for Thanksgiving.
