The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Jolt 27, 1911. 



EBIE, FA. 



'.yauJ* ^ 



The Market. 



' V^rflh the temperature hovering around 

 99 degrees in the shade, outdoor flowers 

 have suffered some this season. It has 

 rained and is much cooler again and the 

 prospects are better. Koses are fair. 

 Carnations are small. Speciosum lilies 

 and sweet peas are good. Harrisii lilies 

 and gladioli are seen in quantities. The 

 supply is equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Henry Baur, of Philadelphia, is the 

 guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Baur and 

 will remain in Erie about a month. 



Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Phillips recently 

 spent several weeks in Pittsburg visit- 

 ing relatives and friends. 



Bud Mars, the aviator, met with a 

 painful accident while flying here last 

 week and much sympathy was extended 

 him by Erie citizens, the florists being 

 kept busy. 



There are many people of note at 

 present from Philadelphia, Cincinnati 

 and Indianapolis in connection with the 

 Perkins-Franklin case and there is an 

 extra large demand for flowers while 

 this case is on. B. P. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



Wm. P. Pfeifer has a stock of car- 

 nations that are the admiration of all 

 who see them. Plants with five strong 

 shoots are rather rare this season, ow- 

 ing to the drought, but almost every 

 plant here can show that number. They 

 will not be lifted until late. 



Frank Baker prides himself on hav- 

 ing the finest stock of small ferns that 

 he has had for some time. He was vis- 

 ited by some of the craft during the 

 hot spell and invited to head the party 

 for the convention at Baltimore. Mrs. 

 Baker served some of the lemonade 

 that has made her famous. Harry 

 Mathews expects to be with the crowd 

 and do a little shooting at the same 

 time; he has a splendid dog, which 

 will accompany him. "Doc" Row- 

 lands says he will be with the crowd 

 and expects to have everything planted 

 by that time. 



Brant Bros, have a constant call for 

 Killarney and Maryland. 



Peter Crowe says Adiantum Crowea- 

 num was never in better shape and he 

 has shipped immense quantities both 

 of the plants and cut fronds. M. 



Salt Lake City, Utah.— F. A. Huish 

 has purchased property at the corner of 

 First South and Second West streets 

 and will build a greenhouse there.
