The Florists^ Review 



July 18, 1912. 



PITTSBUUaH, PA. 



The Market. 



Extremely hot weather and severe 

 electrical storms have been with us all 

 the week and the combination is chas- 

 ing out of the city everyone who can 

 possibly arrange to get away. Trade 

 has fallen off more and more each day 

 until it has reached the point where 

 keeping the shop open is largely a 

 matter of form. 



Various Notes. 



"William Cromack, of Irwin, Pa., was 

 a visitor this week. It is the first time 

 he has been able to be in the city for 

 almost a year, as he is just recovering 

 from an accident which almost cost 

 him his life. He is, however, just as 

 full of jokes and good spirits as ever, 

 although he will probably never en- 

 tirely recover the use of his limbs. 



T. P. Langhans, of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., left July 17, with his 

 family, for an extended automobile 

 tour. If he happens your way and runs 

 out of gas, give him a hand. 



J. J. Beck, of New Castle, Pa., was 

 in the city recently looking over auto 

 trucks, as he is about to add one for 

 delivery. 



The University of Pittsburgh has 

 taken up the subject of smoke and its 

 effect on vegetation and submitted a 

 list of questions to all the growers and 

 others who might possibly be interested 

 and will publish the result of the in- 

 vestigation. 



Allen Langhans, of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., left July 13 for War- 

 ren, Pa., where he will 'join a party of 

 canoeists who will sail down the Alle- 

 gheny river, camping wherever night 

 finds them. They expect to be gone 

 two weeks. 



P. S. Randolph & Sons, at Verona, 

 are harvesting a fine crop of sweet 

 peas, but Paul says: "What's the use? 

 You can't get enough for them to pay 

 for the picking. ' ' 



Notwithstanding the dry weather, 

 field carnation plants in this section 

 are looking fine and are larger than at 

 this time last year. 



B. L. Elliott and family left last 

 week for an auto tour of Cambridge 

 Springs, Buffalo, Eochester and other 

 points of interest. 



Mr. Twin, representative of the King 

 Construction Co., North Tonawanda, 

 N. Y., is looking up building business 

 in this vicinity. Hoo-Hoo. 



Williamston, Mich. — Claud Going, at 

 present residing at Shepardsville, Mich., 

 has purchased some ground here and 

 expects to erect a greenhouse for com- 

 mercial use.
