The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



JANUART 37, 1910. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



A week of everything mean that winter 

 has to offer did not prevent a fair busi- 

 ness; it was not a big week, but there al- 

 ways was something doing. Stock of 

 Bome kinds was scarce, Beauties and roses 

 being the worst, but not short enough to 

 put prices up any. Other flowers, such 

 as tulips, trumpets, narcissi, lilies, freesia, 

 carnations and valley, were plentiful, with 

 violets a little overdone, so that the week 

 did not give much trouble anywhere. 



Variotti Notes. 



Considering the fact that there are 

 only a few carnation growers in this 

 vicinity (you can almost count them 

 on one hand), it is wonderful the amount 

 of enthusiasm there was in advance of the 

 A. C. S. convention; all seemed to want 

 to make it a success. 



Wm. Lauch, of New Galilee, Pa., cele- 

 brated his thirty-eighth birthday January 

 20 by visiting his old home in Carrick, 

 where he used to grow the big carnations. 



Chas. Crall sold his chicken farm, which 

 was claiming a portion of his time, and 

 will now give his full attention to the 

 retail department of the I. S. Crall Co., 

 Monongahela, Pa. 



Frank Faulk has been a sufferer with 

 the grippe. 



Edward McGrath has assumed the man- 

 agement of the downtown store of H. L, 

 Blind & Bros. He is well known to the 

 trade, having been for years with R. C. 

 Patterson and Breitenstein & Co. 



The Zieger Co. is adding a thirty-five 

 horse-power Winton auto, to be used as a 

 van for decorations. This will make three 

 machines for this firm. 



Miss A. L. Wells, of Steubenville, O., 

 has gone for an extended trip to Cali- 

 fornia. Hoo-Hoo. 



HORNELL, N. Y.— The Wettlin Floral 

 Co. reports good returns from its adver- 

 tising in the Beview, and is making up a 

 choice stock for the coming season. 



Peoria, III. — J. S. Brockway, an em- 

 ployee of Cole Bros., has become a public 

 issue. He was so dissatisfied with the 

 way the fire department handled a recent 

 fire in which four lives were lost that he 

 denounced the department on the spot 

 and was arrested, which brought the mat- 

 ter into court.
