The Weekly Florists' Review. 



Febbcabt 15, 1912. 



^ 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh is feeling the effects of 

 the worst winter, as far as cold weather 

 is concerned, in thirteen years (the 

 thermometer last week was steadily 

 close to the zero mark) and retail trade 

 was almost at a standstill all the week. 

 It was hoped at least that Saturday 

 would help out, but it was the coldest 

 day of the week. In the face of all 

 this, flowers of all kinds are selling 

 cheaper than ever before at this season, 

 while the growers require extra hands 

 to shovel coal. Some of the growers 

 are having trouble getting coal deliv- 

 ered fast enough, the railroads being 

 behind on their schedules. 



There are more than plenty of flowers 

 of all kinds, bulb stock especially being 

 overplentiful. At the club luncheon the 

 other night a bulb salesman, when 

 called on for some remarks, excused 

 himself by saying that everybody was 

 feeling good and enjoying himself, and 

 it only made the florists cross to hear 

 a bulb man talk about bulbs. 



Club Meeting. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club held 

 its regular meeting at the Fort Pitt 

 hotel February 6, and elected the fol- 

 lowing oflicers: E. C. Ludwig, presi- 

 dent; E. C. Eeineman, vice-president; 

 H. P, Joslin, secretary, and John Bader, 

 P. S. Randolph and Neil McCallum, 

 trustees. After the election and other 

 business the members adjourned to the 

 assembly room to partake of a lunch 

 which had been provided and to listen 

 to Chas. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J., 

 the guest of the evening. Mr. Totty 

 had with him his fine white carnation, 

 Wodenethe, which had been awarded a 

 first-class certificate at a former meet- 

 ing. He spoke at length of the season 's 

 novelties and gave the growers present 

 many good points on them. Among the 

 other exhibitors and their offerings 

 were: Chas. Koenig, Millvale, Pa., tu- 

 lips; Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co., carna- 

 tions; Finleyville Carnation Co., car- 

 nations; Mr. Phillips, gardener f or H. J. 

 Heinz, plants of Primula obconica; 

 Arthur James, cyclamens. All the ex- 

 hibits were in good shape. 



Taken altogether it was a most en- 

 joyable and successful meeting.
