TheWeekly Fbrists' Review. 



JUNB 29, 1911. 



PITTSBUBG. 



The Market. 



Pittsburg has received its share of 

 the extreme weather that has been 

 going the rounds and it has had its 

 effect on stock. The only wonder is 

 that there is as much good stock as is 

 coming in. Longiflorum lilies and val- 

 ley are the leaders in quality. Beauties 

 are becoming both smaller and scarcer. 

 The Killarneys are fair and carnations 

 are holding out quite well. There were 

 enough weddings, funerals and com- 

 mencements last week to clean up 

 everything. 



Asters have not yet arrived here, as 

 there was no inside stock grown and 

 the dry weather in May delayed the 

 outside plants. Sweet peas from outside 

 are not so good as in other years. 



A few of the plantsmen failed to 

 clean out on stock, but taken as a whole 

 it was a good plant year. 



Various Notes. 



Some of the employees at the whole- 

 sale houses have begun their vacations. 



P. J. Demas, of the Pittsburg Florists ' 

 Exchange, opened his new theater last 

 week. 



Ed, McCallum made a trip to Con- 

 neaut last Sunday on his motorcycle. 



The John Bader Co. celebrated the 

 end of the plant season by giving its 

 employees their annual picnic at the 

 firm's expense, and all enjoyed a good 

 time. 



T. P. Langhans and Ben Elliott can 

 tell you how to run an automobile. 

 They' are having the varied experiences 

 of full-fledged chauffeurs. Hoo-Hoo. 



TOBONTO. 



Trade is holding out well, but after 

 this week it will be all over till Septem- 

 ber comes around again. The rest will 

 be much appreciated, for, from the first 

 of the month, everyone has been on the 

 jump. Trade has been excellent. Stock 

 is coming in fairly well. Roses are plen- 

 tiful, but the quality is not startling. 

 Quite a little mildew is seen. Carna- 

 tions are rather small. Sweet peas are 

 pretty nearly through and the outdoor 

 ones will not be in for some time. Val- 

 ley is still in good condition and sell- 

 ing well. Peonies are over. Asters are 

 coming in a little better and the de- 

 mand is excellent. Coreopsis are of ex- 

 cellent quality and sell well. S. Tidy & 

 Son have had a chrysanthemum plant 

 in their window. This was the first of 

 the season. It was Goldep Glow. The 

 outdoor gladioli are not yet in.

SAGE AND CANNAS 



■^jl^Nothing is more attractive in garden or lawn than a bed of Scarlet 

 ^^^^ Sa^, the fiery red we grow, namely, the true Bonfire or Clara Bed- 

 m an var ieties. 



m^^^We have a fine new sort of medium height, 4-in. pots, purposely 

 ^^^^ raised for our customers for their summer trade. Price, 4-in. pots, 

 $6.00 per 100. 



Qur other attraction is Liar^e Bronze Leaved Cannas; they have 

 no equal, if used in the center of the bed in connection with Scarlet Sage 

 as a border. Nothing looks more attractive than a bronze center and a fiery 

 red border. We provided especially for the beds by growing the Cannas, 

 Robusta and Egandale ; both have proved good varieties. The Robusta has 

 large leaves and is now 2>4 to 3 feet high (the Canna, to make it attractive, 

 must lie higher tban the Sage), 4-in. pots only, $7.00 per 100. We also 

 have a fine stock of the best green leaved varieties in 4-in. pots of the same 

 size, at $7.00 per 100. Alphonae Bouvier, Richard Wallace, Austria,
