The Weekly Florists' Review* 



April 25, 1912. 



PITTSBUEOH. 



The Market. 



The wholesalers are decidedly busy 

 people just now, handling immense 

 quantities of flowers of all kinds, and 

 to the uninitiated they would seem to 

 be coining money, but there is nothing 

 to it. Some of the prices at which the 

 big lots of stock are unloaded would 

 disgust a peanut merchant, but it must 

 be got rid of at some price. One can 

 get almost anything he wants and the 

 more he buys the less his bill is, as 

 the merchants seem to offer premiums 

 to anyone who will get a big lot out 

 of sight. Now, that's wholesale. 



Among the retailers things are not 

 so bad. They are going along doing 

 a nice business and can get just what 

 they want when they want it, and at 

 the right price. So these deluge times 

 do not worry them so much, if they 

 keep off the streets where the fakers 

 are working, but it always gives a 

 florist more or less of a pain to see 

 a faker disposing of stock at his prices, 

 no matter what the quality. 



Plantsmen are beginning to get 

 saucy. Just a few more days and 

 planting will begin; even if a few are 

 frozen, that is all the better, but the 

 market displays are getting better 

 every day. Hoo-Hoo. 



EVANSVUJiE, IND. 



The Market. 



Business since Easter has been quiet. 

 Cut flowers of all kinds are plentiful, 

 also potted plants. The outside plant- 

 ing has not yet begun in earnest, owing 

 to the uncertainty of frost and exces- 

 sive rains. 



Various Notes. 



C. L. Niednagel has given up his 

 plan of moving away from this city 

 and will begin the erection of two 

 houses on his home place at once. The 

 houses will be .'54x250 feet each and 

 planted to American Beauties and Kil- 

 larney for wholesale. He will run his 

 place independently of the other plant. 

 He has just refused $9,000 for his four 

 and one-third acres of ground, but may 

 sell a part of it later. 



Karl Zeidler is putting in concrete 

 benches in his new houses. 



Carl Elspermann has returned home, 

 but will go away again. He has been 

 with Bassett & Washburn, at Hinsdale, 

 HI., and Harry Hoffman, of Jackson- 

 ville, 111., for several months.
