The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Decemuer 8, 1910. 



PITTSBUEG, PA. 



The Market. 



The week following Thanksgiving 

 was probably one of the best in the 

 cut flower business this year. There 

 was plenty of everything, excepting 

 carnations, and a demand to suit. 

 There was an unusual number of so- 

 cial affairs, which created a demand 

 for roses and anything in the shape 

 of novelties. There was also an un- 

 usual demand for cheaper stock for 

 funeral work, and, taken together, the 

 week was quite satisfactory from the 

 wholesale standpoint. 



We still have the dark weather with 

 us and more snow than we usually 

 have at Christmas time, and conditions 

 would indicate that winter is here in 

 earnest. Carnations seem to suffer 

 most from the dark weather and have 

 not been so scarce for years. 



Violets, which have been scarce up 

 to this time, are now quite plentiful; 

 the price has dropped accordingly. A 

 few late chrysanthemums still are 

 coming, but in such a way that we 

 would be better without them, as the 

 people always seem to want the color 

 they cannot get. 



Koman hyacinths and Paper White 

 narcissi are quite plentiful and the first 

 Yellow Trumpets made their appear- 

 ance December 1, not enough, however, 

 to be noticed much, but another week 

 will bring them in large quantities. 

 So far there are no signs of Christ- 

 mas goods in the stores. This stock 

 makes its appearance all at once about 

 the middle of the month, which is, no 

 doubt, a good thing, as that is about 

 as soon as people are ready to look 

 for that kind of goods. 



Various Notes. 



Eandolph & McClements had a num- 

 ber of the large debutante affairs last 

 week, which kept them going night and 

 day to keep up with their work. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had her share 

 of the good things, as was evidenced 

 by the busy auto and extra wagons 

 which she kept on the jump to keep 

 up with the deliveries. 



The A. W. Smith Co. reports busi- 

 ness as giving all the evidence of an 

 exceptionally good holiday season, as 

 last month was one of the best in its 

 experience. 



The Zieger Co., as well as 11. L. 

 Blind & Bros., were participants in the 

 big demand last week. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. say they cannot 

 compare their business with any other 

 season, as this is the first, but it ]ool<s 

 good to them. 



E. C. Ludwig does not say much, but 

 from the quantities of stock at his 

 place of business, the activity of his 

 help and the number of funeral de- 

 signs going out, one can tell that the 

 dead are being well taken care of. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is 

 quite busy and working overtime get- 

 ting out supply orders. This firm is 

 enjoying a heavy demand for boxwood. 



Harris Bros, are putting in a hand- 

 some new store front. They recently 

 secured additional frontage and will 

 have an attractive storeroom when 

 completed. These boys are hustlers. 



The McCallum Co. is handling some 

 fine Beauties and reports trade as good, 

 with not enough carnations to satisfy 

 the demand. Hoo-Hoo.
