The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Afbil 4, 1912. 



PITTSBUBOH. 



The Market. 



March proved quite a satisfactory 

 month, considering the lenten season. 

 The wholesalers were at no time short 

 of anything and probably the average 

 price obtained for stock will compare 

 favorably with other seasons, notwith- 

 standing the number of complaints. 



The retailers report that the month 

 was satisfactory with them and, had 

 we not experienced so much disagreeable 

 weather, it would have been much bet- 

 ter; there were a number of funerals 

 during the month, which made an un- 

 usual demand for stock. 



Palm Sunday did not make any spe- 

 cial demand for flowers, although Sat- 

 urday cleaned up well and at this time 

 Easter prospects look good. 



Various Notes. 



The McCallum Co. will move after 

 Easter from the Liberty avenue location 

 to Seventh street, wliere ^there is more 

 room and convenience for handling the 

 business. 



Eandolph & McClements have one 

 house of azaleas nnd two houses of 

 lilies which they expect to clean up 

 in their retail trade during Easter week. 



Alfred McCoyd, the Arcade florist, 

 who has been away most of the winter 

 for his health, expects to be back to 

 take care of his Easter trade. 



Some of the visitors last week were: 

 Harry Balsley, Detroit; .Tohn Walker, 

 Youngstown, O. ; F. M. Ruppert, Cum- 

 berland, Md. Hoo-Hoo. 



MAYWOOD, ILL. 



Charles Cassier, who has been in the 

 growing business here for the last two 

 years, has a nice lot of bedding plants 

 started for the Memorial day rush. He 

 reports hard luck with sweet peas dur- 

 ing the winter and will probably grow 

 potted plants entirely. 



The Felsch Bros. Co., at Tenth ave- 

 nue and Madison street, has put a new 

 addition of 3,000 square feet into serv- 

 ive and is growing a lot of bedding 

 plants in it. The rest of tlie range is 

 used for carnations, sweet peas and 

 roses, with the exception of one house, 

 which is filled with some fine Easter 

 lilies that will be ready for the Easter 

 market.

PATENT IRON GUTTER 



One of the featiu^s of this gutter is that 

 it can be put up in wrought iron, any 

 lengths (without boring holes), by bolting 

 the gutter together and screwing clip to 

 the roof-bars for any size glass. 



The above is only one of the many lat- 

 est and up-to-date materials we have.

5 of them for $ 4.40 



10 for 8.50 



25 for 21.00 



They are 19^ x 20^2 Inches. 



Made of cypress and painted one coat. 



No nails used in corners— bolted together 

 with cast iron comer cleats. Materials alone 

 cost more than we ask for them all complete. 

 We make them up by the thousands, that's 

 why the prices are 'way down where they are. 



Your order can be shipped at once— so order 

 at once, because freights are slow. If in a 

 special hurry, better have them expressed. 

 The express rate is comparatively low because 

 the frames are shipped knocked down, and 

 the sash thorougrhly crated.
