The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



March 17, 1910. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Flowers of all kinds were plentiful 

 and prices low, but there was enough de- 

 mand to clean up everything by Satur- 

 day night, March 12, which was satis- 

 factory from the wholesalers' point of 

 view. 



Among the retailers there was some 

 complaint, as there has been a tendency 

 to cut prices, especially on bulbous stock 

 and violets, however, they all got busy 

 on funeral work and wound up the week 

 with an exceptionally good Saturday. 



Variouf Notes. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is ar- 

 ranging to erect a block of smaller 

 houses for propagating and growing their 

 young stock. 



John Bader was confined to his home 

 last week with an attack of grip, but 

 hopes to be about to help dispose of 

 several houses of azaleas that are coming 

 in just right for Easter. He will have 

 an unusuaUy fine lot of blooming plants 

 this year, but does not anticipate any 

 trouble in selling them all. 



The A. W. Smith Co. says the last two 

 Saturdays were the best two days, out- 

 side of holidays, since they have been in 

 business. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, are making a fine 

 showing of blooming plants these days 

 and say they not only sell the plants, 

 but the plants seem to make an increased 

 demand for cut flowers. 



W. D. Faulk, of Homestead, is offering 

 his business for sale as he wishes to 

 give his time exclusively to his coal inter- 

 ests at New Castle, Pa. 



The Braddock Florist is the style of a 

 new firm which opened last week at 

 Braddock, Pa. 



Lloyd A. Swarthout, of Washington, 

 Pa., has sold out his greenhouse and cut 

 flower business to Philips & Sedam. 

 These men have been connected with the 

 business for some time and we speak 

 for their success. Hoo-Hoo. 



Newton, Kan. — Hasler & Hasselmann 

 have changed the firm name to the New- 

 ton Flower Co. 



St. Peteesburg, Fla. — H. A. Curtis 

 has announced that he will retire from 

 the flower business.
