The Florists^ Review 



August 20, 1912. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh is having delightful 

 weather aud the stay-at-homes seem to 

 have something on those who go on ex- 

 pensive trips and get worse weather. 

 Besides, there is just enough work to 

 make them comfortable, and fine stock 

 to do it with. The old-timers will re- 

 member when there was nothing but 

 rubbish in summer, but it is not so 

 now; there are roses as good as in 

 winter, and there are gladioli, such as 

 Niagara, Panama, Glory, Mrs. Francis 

 King and Princeps, that are grand, with 

 Augusta and other more common sorts 

 in abundance. Some fine asters and 

 more that are not so fine, with Beauties, 

 valley and orchids, make it possible to 

 enjoy summer work. 



The vacation season is almost over. 

 Employees at the various shops are tak- 

 ing their places and discussing the 

 changes that are necessary for the com- 

 ing season,, but there is not the least 

 doubt that they will follow the usual 

 custom and wait until the fall trade 

 starts before beginning to make their 

 improvements. 



Various Notes. 



Miss McKinley, of Kandolph & Mc- 

 Clements,- took in the Chicago conven- 

 tion as part ,of her vacation. Ed. Wea- 

 ver, of the same store, had business out 

 that way and got there for the closing 

 day of the convention. 



The first shipment of wild smilax for 

 this season reached the Pittsburgh Cut 

 Flower Co. August 24. 



An oversupply of rattlesnakes stopped 

 the galax pickers in North Carolina and 

 made a scarcity of green galax for a 

 week. 



William Turner, of Wilkinsburg, has 

 just returned from an extended vaca- 

 tion and is trying to get down to busi- 

 ness again. 



The wholesale men still have enough 

 time to talk politics and you can get 

 any kind of an argument you want, for 

 there are followers of all three parties 

 and all have a stock of dope on their 

 favorite. 



Among those who called here on their 

 way home from the S. A. F. convention 

 were J. V. Kinder, Charleroi, Pa., and 

 Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Bretz, of Cumber- 

 land, Md. 



The growers have about finished 

 planting their carnations and the plants 

 generally are of good size, but in some 

 cases are a little softer than would be 

 desired for transplanting, on account of 

 the long continued rain. 



F. T. Bestwick, of Washington, D.C., 

 representing the Insecticide and Fungi- 

 cide Board of the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture, is visiting all dealers in 

 those articles in this district, for the 

 purpose of seeing that all grades are 

 proi)erly marked. Hoo-Hoo. 



Bowdoinham, Me. — Hall Bros, have 

 completed a new greenhouse.
