The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



September 22, 1910. 



PITTSBURG, PA. 



Census Count Is 533,905. 



There is not much change in trade 

 conditions since last week. Asters and 

 gladioli are dropping out of sight and 

 the few that do come in have not been 

 good for the last week. However, there 

 has been no scarcity of stock up to this 

 time, as roses, lilies, carnations and 

 dahlias are quite plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



The McEae-.Tenkinson Co. has pur- 

 chased the old Chas. Eisner store, on 

 Penn avenue, and will put in a good 

 line of plants and cut flowers, with 

 Frank Stafford as manager. 



Wm. F. Lauch, of New Galilee, Pa., is 

 adding one small house for propagating 

 purposes. 



The Allegheny Floral Co. is the name 

 of the new flower store opened at 1 

 Federal street, N. S. 



The first frost was Wednesday, Sep- 

 tember 15, but did no harm, as there 

 was not much to injure. 



E. C. Ludwig rounded out his half 

 century Tuesday, September 20, and 

 after the day's business, the employees 

 surprised him by reminding him of the 

 occasion and presenting him with a 

 smoking outfit. The presentation speech 

 was made by T. P. Langhans. 



The visitors last week were Wm. F. 

 Lauch, New Galilee, Pa., and Israel Eos- 

 nosky and Wm. Craig, of Philadelphia, 

 Pa. Hoo-Hoo. 



SPRINGFIELD, O. 



Election of officers was the chief item 

 of business before the meeting of the 

 Springfield Florists' Club, Monday eve- 

 ning, September 12, resulting in the 

 choice of the following for the ensuing 

 year: President, Charles W. Schmidt; 

 vice-president. Christian Binning; sec- 

 retary, C. Pearl Bethard; treasurer, 

 Harry C. Eeeser. 



In line with the recent action of the 

 S. A. F., John M. Good and George H.
