The Florists^ Review 



August 15, 1912. 



PITTSBUBOH. 



The Market. 



There is not the same activity among 

 the retail shops as there was last week. 

 The midsummer dullness is being felt 

 now by all. There is no scarcity of 

 flowers and the quality of stock is hold- 

 ing up wonderfully. The only flowers 

 which are not up to expectations are 

 asters; plenty of them, but lacking in 

 quality. The consignors expect better 

 quality soon. 



The supply of good roses, Beauties, 

 orchids, valley and Easter lilies is equal 

 to all demands. Dahlias are arriving in 

 limited quantities, but who cares? 

 "What 's troubling most of us is the want 

 of orders. 



Various Notes. 



At the A. W. Smith Co. greenhouses, 

 Canfield, O., a gas well of over 240 rock 

 pressure was struck last week. This is 

 and will be a big saving in the way of 

 fuel for this company. 



Fred Burki has also struck gas on 

 his farm in Richland township. Mr. 

 Burki is quite a prospector. His oil 

 and gas dealings have been quite suc- 

 cessful. 



Wm. Turner has added an auto deliv- 

 ery truck to his establishment, and is 

 also putting the finishing touches to his 

 new greenhouses. 



B. L. Elliott, proprietor and owner of 

 the John Bader Co., is about finishing 

 up on three 3.5x150 Lord & Bumham 

 houses. He will fill these houses with 

 decorative plants and ferns. 



One of the largest plants between 

 Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, Fa., is Jo- 

 seph Thomas' place at Greensburg, Pa. 

 Mr. Thomas has added this summer one 

 house 35x300, which will be ready for 

 planting soon. 



Arnold Ringier, secretary of W. W. 

 Barnard Co., Chicago, and Fred Lembke, 

 of the same company, were here last 

 week calling on the trade. 



A. F. Faulkner, Washington, D. C, 

 has been with us now for ten days. 



David Geddes has returned to St. 

 Louis, Mo. 



W. A. Clark, treasurer of the Pitts- 

 burgh Cut Flower Co., is spending his 

 vacation with his family at Chautau- 

 qua, N. Y. 



Lake Chautauqua is a sort of ren- 

 dezvous for Pittsburgh florists. Edward 

 McCallum is there now, but will return 

 in time to go to the convention. 



Miss E. B. Maxwell, Wilkinsburg, Pa., 

 is now on her farm at Willow Beach, 

 Ohio. 



Mrs. Annie Garrity left August 8 for 

 Atlantic City, N. J. 



Our delegation to the convention now 

 numbers seventeen. The following are 

 the persons who expect to go: Fred 

 Burki, Howard Carney, E. C. Reineman,
