The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



October 14, kjo;, 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Trade conditions continue fair. There 

 haft^been no special rush along any line, 

 and stock has been more plentiful. 

 Chrysanthemums are coming as fast as 

 the market will take them and there are 

 some fine violets. Carnations continue 

 short of the demand, but no hardship will 

 be felt from now on, as there are plenty 

 of cheap roses and chrysanthemums. 



Qab Meetiii£. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- 

 ing, October 5, in the Dutch room at the 

 Fort Pitt hotel. The surroundings were 

 much more handsome than the club has 

 been accustomed to, and included a deco- 

 ration of specimen plants of Pandanus 

 Veitchii, crotons and other fine things 

 grown by that firm. 



The committee appointed for the car- 

 nation convention is working. The 

 finance committee already has a number 

 of subscriptions and there is no fear of 

 the result. 



Neal McCallum, who has charge of the 

 West End park, had an exhibit of an- 

 nuals and perennials grown from seed 

 and gave an interesting talk on them. 



P. S. Randolph, who occupied the chair 

 for the evening, was requested to give 

 some information on growing the kind of 

 plants he exhibited. He gave quite a 

 lengthy and interesting talk, answering 

 all questions, and wound up by saying: 

 "Boys, there are only two things neces- 

 sary, plenty of heat and watering." Mr. 

 Randolph also showed Chrysanthemum 

 Yellow Polly Rose. This is a sport which 

 they have grown for several years, a good 

 early light yellow. 



Frank Crooks showed plants of odonto- 

 glossum and Cattleya labiata, for which 

 he was awarded a certificate of merit. 



Jas. Moore, of North Side park, exhib- 

 ited blooms of aristolochia, commonly 

 known as the goose flower. 



Tuesday, November 2, will be the next 

 field day. Members will meet at Schenley 

 conservatories at 10 a. m. and, after look- 

 ing at all the good things there, will 

 visit a number of other places, filling in 

 the entire day. As this was a great suc- 

 cess last year, a large crowd is expected 

 to attend. 



Variotfs Notes. 



Geo. L. Huscroft, of Steubenville, O.. 

 has just completed two houses, 30x100, 

 with all the latest improvements. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



J. M. Jones has purchased nine acres 

 of ground on Highland avenue. Summit 

 Park, for $9,250. The property is on the 

 Charleroi car line, about a mile beyond 

 Castle Shannon. Part of it is woodland 

 and the balance meadow. It is almost 

 level and lies on a high plateau. Mr. 

 Jones will use it for the growing of 

 hardy decorative plants. He will also 

 erect a handsome bungalow on the prop- 

 erty and expects to make it one of the 

 garden spots of the county.

Nephrolepis Elegantissima Compacta 



Another New Fern OrislnatlnK "nrlth us To be introduced fall 1909 



Vf all the valuable IntroductionB in ferns that we have sent out, beglnniaR with the Pierson 

 (NeptarolepiBPierBoni) we consider the Elearantlaalma ooiup»cta the most valuable of 

 all, particularly from a commercial standpoint. 



While this resembles Blesrantissima in a general way, it is far superior to that variety on 

 account of its perfect habit. Tet it can hardlv be compared with EleKantlsRima in a general 

 way. because it occupies a place by itself and is as distinct from Elegantinsima as that variety 

 is from Plersoni-in fact, it bears the same relation to Elegantissima that Scottii doci to 

 BostonienBis. KleKantltalma oompacta has an ideal habit. The fronds are considerably 

 shorter than those oi Elegantissima, and it is a more compact plant It throws a great many 

 more crowns naturally, making a very bushy, dwarf, compact plant. The difference between 

 the two varietieB maybe seen at a glance. 



Fine strong plants. 2>4-{n. pots, $5.00 per doz.. $35.00 per 100; 4-in. pots, $7.50 per doz., 

 $50.00 per 100; 6-in. pans, $1.50 each; 8-ln. pans. $3.O0 each. 



We make a specialty of all kinds of N«ipbrol«pla, carrying a large stock of all sizes at al 

 times— Piersoni. Elegantissima, Superbissima, Bostoniensis, Scottii, Wbitmani, Amerpoblii. etc.
