The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



October 21, loog. 



help out considerably. Smilax is more 

 plentiful than of late and, with plenty of 

 ofher green goods, the market in that 

 line is well fixed. 



Variotii Notes. 



Robt. Zepnick, 147 Lincoln avenue, 

 reports an increase in sales of Boston and 

 Whitmani ferns since folks have settled 

 down for the winter. 



The Edlefsen-Leidiger Co., who had 

 their hands full with the recent fall 

 openings, report business quite satisfac- 

 tory for the last fortnight. 



The Holton & Hunkel Co. reports ship- 

 ping trade good, except that being 

 obliged to cut the shipments on carna- 

 tions caused some bad feeling. 



The C. C. PoUworth Co. also finds out- 

 of-town business in a blooming condi- 

 tion. They have commenced to bring in 

 quite a few mums from their own green- 

 houses. 



As the time for the fall show draws 

 nearer, the meetings of the executive 

 committee seem to last longer, it being 

 midnight, October 18, before they ad- 

 journed. Premium lists and entry blanks 

 are being mailed this week. H. V. Hun- 

 kel, 462 Milwaukee street, Milwaukee, is 

 chairman. 



Otto Sylvester, Oconomowoc, Wis., was 

 a caller last week. Ten years ago he was 

 violet king in this part of the country, 

 but, as was the case with many other 

 growers, they went back on him. Now, 

 after several years' intermission, he has 

 planted one house, and if they prove sat- 

 isfactory he will plant more extensively 

 another season. E. O. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



This city had so much baseball and 

 other excitement last week that one 

 scarcely thought of the flower business. 

 However, it moved along in the usual 

 way, with just about enough stock com- 

 ing in to take care of the business. 



The weather has been quite cool for 

 October. Almost everything outside 

 should be gone, but every day someone 

 bobs up with dahlia and cosmos. The 

 end, however, is certainly near. 



Stock of all kinds is plentiful, espe- 

 cially Beauties, lilies and violets. 



Vafliow Notet. 



The retail stores are making fine win- 

 dow displays. Last week Mrs. E. A. 

 Williams had a display of yellow dahlias 

 arranged in baskets and hampers. These, 

 with ferns and yellow crotons, gave an 

 effect when viewed from the street that 

 might have opened the eyes of some peo- 

 ple in the trade, as to the use of dahlias. 



David Fraser, gardener for H. C. 

 Frick, opened his houses to the public 

 on Sunday, October 17. Chrysanthemums 

 were the principal flowers. Thomas 

 Jenkins, gardener for A. .R. Peacock, also 

 opened his houses for the benefit of the 

 public. Chrysanthemums, Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine, cyclamens, primulas and or- 

 chids were on view. The arrangement of 

 these in the various houses was beautiful 

 and was appreciated by the many vis- 

 itors. Pittsburg millionaires, at least, 

 are not afraid to divide some of their 

 good things with the common people, as 

 anyone is welcome to visit their houses 

 while their show is at its best. 



Superintendent George Burke, of the 

 Schenley conservatories, and his fore- 

 man, John Jones, are busy getting their 

 display into shape for the big chrysan- 

 themum show, which will be held next 



There is a big difference between a Return Trap 

 assembled in a Jobbing Machine Shop, and a 



Two No. 14 "Detroit" Return Traps located
