The Weekly Florists' Review. 



June 8, 1911. 



PITTSBUSG. 



The Market. 



Junie 1 fiijds our plantsmen pretty 

 well cleaned. up after a ihost satisfac- 

 tory season. There is still enough 

 work in the way of planting and filling 

 of window and porch boxes, but the 

 houses are about emptied of anything 

 good, and all report a fine season. 



Decoration day was really a surprise 

 this year. Everything one could think 

 of was in bloom outdoors and it was 

 thought that would pretty nearly sup- 

 ply the demand, but, on the contrary, 

 the demand on the wholesalers was 

 never so great as this year and stock 

 was surprisingly good considering, the 

 extremely hot weather of the previous 

 two weeks. Koses, of course, were 

 smaller, but still good, and carnations 

 have stood the heat finely. Business 

 generally has been good since Decora- 

 tion day; weddings and commence- 

 ments, no doubt, have made the great- 

 est demand, but a couple of good fu- 

 nerals have helped. 



Home peonies were in for Decoration 

 day, the first time in years. For some 

 reason outdoor flowers did not seem to 

 have as good keeping quality as usual, 

 and their season has been considerably 

 shorter. 



Various Notes. 



T. P. Langhans has moved to his 

 summer home and has added a new 

 Cadillac auto, from which he is get- 

 ting a good deal of pleasure these fine 

 evenings. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had a beautiful 

 window of gloxinias, ferns and Kalmia 

 latifolia in bloom. 



Ba^dolph & McClements made a spe- 

 cial run on hydrangea plants for Deco- 

 ration-day, and their show last week 

 was grand. They still have all hands 

 working overtime on porch boxes. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has 

 been carrying a fine lot of Beauties 

 and lilies, which are good stock this 

 hot weather. 



Wilbert Berger, age 17 years, an em- 

 ployee of the A. "W. Smith Co., was in- 

 jured on the freight elevator Monday 

 night'. May 29, and died in the Homeo- 

 pathic hospital Thursday. Burial was 

 froni his home, 3864 Douglas avenue, 

 Sunday, June 4. Hoo-Hoo. 



Karl Klinke has purchased his part- 

 ner's- interest in the firm of Klinke & 

 Wehrheim, in Jenkins Arcade, and will 

 continue the business in his own name.

HOW ABOUT YOUR EMPTY BENCHES? 



After Decoration Day you have empty benches. Will it pay you to have 

 them empty? Take a few minutes to think and consider which will pay the 

 beet. Chrysanthemums? No, I know something better. I plant a bench or 

 two with asters, in July, and in August I cut them. That gives me time to re- 

 fill my benches with a fine lot of fall and holiday plants, such as cyclamen, 

 ferns and poinsettias, roses and other plants suitable for my fall business. I 

 am going to write an order right away to Crodlrey Aschmann, Philadelphia, 

 for his GIANT CRCGO ASTER. It is the best early branching cut aster in the world. 



Yes, we have it for sale in four separate colors; 20,000 of them in white, 

 purple, rose and pink, very strong plants, 2>4-inch pots, $3.00100; $25.00 1000.
