The Weekly Florists' Review. 



March 14, 1912. 



dent E. C. Ludwig on his first night 

 in the chair. 



Neil McCallum, the sage of the club, 

 talked on "Australian Plants," with 

 which some twenty years in that coun- 

 try made him quite familiar. The talk 

 was interesting and instructive. Some 

 fine Primula obconica plants from B. H. 

 Boggs' conservatories, cinerarias from 

 the Phipps conservatories and sweet 

 peas from the Pittsburgh Cut Flower 

 Co. were the exhibits for the evening. 



Arrangements are being made for 

 another social evening, to include our 

 wives and sweethearts. Prof. John A. 

 Brashear will give his lecture on flow- 

 ers, with stereopticon views, and Mr. 

 Brashear is famous in both this coun- 

 try and Europe. Further information 

 will be given later. 



Various Notes. 



A visit was made last week to the 

 new greenhouse plant of P. S. Kandolph, 

 at Verona, Pa. Mr. Eandolph bought a 

 47-acre farm, on which he has erected 

 a bungalow, two barns, a water tower 

 and seven greenhouses of Lord & Burn- 

 ham construction. Six of the green- 

 houses are each 20x110; the other is 

 50x200. This first season he is growing 

 lilies, roses, hydrangeas and gardenias 

 in pots. He is also experimenting with 

 sweet peas and Prince of Wales violets, 

 with which he is meeting with great 

 success. The balance of his space is 

 filled with azaleas, crotons and ferns. 

 He built this place largely to give his 

 sons, who are quite young, an oppor- 

 tunity to demonstrate their ability to 

 conduct such a plant, and he has reason 

 to be proud of their success. 



The A. W. Smith Co. has arranged a 

 Dutch scene in one of its large windows, 

 using a space 20x30 feet. The back- 

 ground is a painted Dutch scene, re- 

 flecting credit on the artist, and the 

 garden is planted in hyacinths and 

 tulips; the lawn is grass which was 

 grown in pans for the purpose, with 

 gravel walks. The garden is surrounded 

 by a concrete wall. As it is an un- 

 usually large window display and the 

 general effect is not overdone, it is 

 attracting crowds all day long. 



Mike Kronis, who has the flower 

 stand in the Union depot, has opened 

 a new stand in the East Liberty station. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Gustav & Julius W. Ludwig had on 

 show at the last club meeting three 

 beautiful obconicas. They were grown 

 in Mr. Boggs' conservatory in Sewick- 

 ley and were acknowledged by the 

 growers and members of the club to 

 be the best ever. Mr. Jones, of Schen- 

 ley park, said they were the most 

 beautiful primroses that he had ever 

 seen. Each of the plants was about a 

 year old and had no less than twenty- 

 five clusters, each cluster bearing about 

 ten to fifteen flowers. The sight was 

 gorgeous and a certificate of merit was 

 unanimously awarded. Gustav & 

 Julius W. Ludwig are now preparing 

 for the big Easter rush. Business in 

 the Allegheny Market has been un- 

 usually dull since Christmas, but busi- 

 ness at the store has been extremely 

 good and through all that time the en- 

 tire force has hardly been relieved one 

 evening out of each week. However, 

 the last week has been a little quieter, 

 especially in the Allegheny Market.
