The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



May 6, 1909. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Weather conditions last week were the 

 worst one could imagine. There were 

 wind storms which uprooted trees and 

 damaged greenhouses. Rain and hail, 

 with a little sunshine thrown in, followed 

 one another in quick succession almost 

 every day last week, and sometimes, by 

 way of variety, it did them all at once. 



Flowers, especially roses, were cer- 

 tainly never more plentiful. Carnations 

 were abundant the first of the week, and 

 dropped out of sight entirely on Satur- 

 day. Taken on the whole, it was a most 

 unsatisfactory .week for the wholesalers. 



The retailers did not complain much, 

 however, as they were able to buy ;iny 

 stock needed at their own prices, and 

 there was a fair amount of work going 

 on all the week. 



Various Notes. 



William Hamilton, former superintend 

 ent of Allegheny park, has the sympathy 

 of his friends in the loss of his wife. 



H. P. Joslin was called to his old home 

 in Massachusetts to attend the funeral 

 of his brother. 



The Schenley conservatories were heavy 

 sufferers from the gale last week, when 

 the wind blew sixty-seven miles an hour. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



FARGO, N. D. 



The Shotwell Floral Co. is erecting 

 three more greenhouses, each 22x100, on 

 its property at Eighth street south, near 

 Thirteenth avenue and just inside the 

 city limits. The firm owns fourteen lots 

 at this location, fronting on Eighth 

 street. The new houses will be heated 

 with steam and equipped with electric 

 lights and patent water spray attach- 

 ments. They will be completed about 

 June 1. 



This company has been in existence 

 for twenty years, and has recently main- 

 tained three greenhouses in different 

 parts of the city, besides a central plant 

 at N. P. park. It is the intention now 

 to grow the bulk of the stock that ia 

 needed in the business, instead of having 

 a large part of it shipped in. 



The firm is also making preparation? 

 for the development of a nursery busi- 

 ness. A carload of trees, seedlings and 

 shrubs arrived some time ago, and all 

 available space on the Eighth street tract 

 is being planted with this sort of stock.

 Co., contractors, have a force of men at
