The Weekly Florists' Review* ^-^^^ ^s. wn 



PITTSBUKQ. 



The Market. 



The weather has been quite unsatis- 

 factory; the cnW redeeming feature is 

 that as a rule itN^ontinues cool. That 

 there will be plenty of flowers for 

 Easter seems quite evident at this time. 

 Business generally was- quiet last week, 

 with nothing of any importance re- 

 ported from any source. 



The shops are all attractively deco- 

 rated with blooming plants and are 

 looking their best. The employees are 

 all busy getting things in shape for the 

 expected Easter rush. There have been 

 a number of complaints about the dis- 

 ease in giganteum lilies; however, there 

 will probably be all that is wanted for 

 Easter. 



Variotis Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, who has been 

 away for some time, returned last week 

 looking much improved and ready to 

 take hold of her usual large trade. 



The A. W. Smith Co. is quite busy 

 pushing the seed and landscape depart- 

 ments of the business. The firm is 

 sending out some attractive advertising 

 matter. 



Eandolph & McClements, with their 

 large store and conservatories attached, 

 are now making an Easter show of 

 blooming plants that are a revelation to 

 most people. 



H. L. Blind & Bros, are behind no one 

 in the way of taking advantage of dis- 

 play to sell tliej^ stock. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. are the youngest 

 firm in the east end district, but have 

 already built up a trade which would 

 be a credit to an older concern. 



The Zieger Co. 's two stores are show- 

 ing up in their usual attractive way at 

 this time. They, like all the rest, would 

 give one the idea that plants were to be 

 the onlv kind of flowers sold for Easter. 



The 'Florists' Club met Tuesday eve- 

 ning, April 4, in the assembly room of 

 the Fort Pitt hotel. Some good exhibits 

 of Easter plants were made by the 

 Phipps Conservatories, of Schenley 

 park, and by the North Side park, the 

 John Bader Co. and Fred Bartsch. Re- 

 ports were received from the members 

 who had attended the Boston show; all 

 were pleased with the show and what 

 they saw there. There was a good at- 

 tendance and several new names were 

 presented for membership. 



L. J. Rowe, of Titusville, Pa., has 

 been cutting a lot of Merry Christmas 

 mums; he also has a house of fine Prim- 

 ula obconica. 



Ed McCallum, of the McCallum Co., 

 is the latest to adopt a motorcycle as a 

 means of amusement here. He is hop- 

 ing the machine may never break down 

 a long way from home. Hoo-Hoo. 



Fairfield, Conn. — N. S. Goulden's 

 automobile was recently destroyed by 

 fire at Fairfield Beach — reduced, as the 

 reports state, to '^a heap of junk." 

 The loss of $1,500 is only partly cov- 

 ered by insurance.
