The Florists^ Review 



August 1, 1912. 



PITTSBUROH. 



The Market. 



Tliere has been no change in busi- 

 ness conditions since last week, except 

 that all kinds of stock have shortened 

 up and prices have been somewhat 

 firmer. The weather has been delight- 

 fully cool, but we have been getting 

 more rain than we have actually needed 

 and this has delayed planting somewhat, 

 as the soil has been too wet. There has 

 also been some damage in the way of 

 washouts. Good asters do not seem to 

 be plentiful and gladioli are only be- 

 ginning to come in quantities. 



Various Notes. 



•John Bader, probably one of the best 

 known florists of this section, surprised 

 his many friends by sending word of 

 his marriage, .l[uly 15, at Eugene, Ore., 

 to Mrs. Catherine Edlefsen. Mrs. Ed- 

 lefsen is a resident of this city, but was 

 visiting friends in Oregon. They have 

 not signified when they will return, but 

 they may be sure of a grand reception 

 when thej' do arrive, as both have many 

 friends awaiting them. 



The slackness of summer business 

 made it convenient for a large number 

 of the force of the A. W. Smith Co. to 

 take a vacation. A. W. Smith, Sr., has 

 gone to his farm, or ' ' the big place, ' ' as 

 he calls it, at Brookville, O. J. W. 

 Smith, Jr., and family. Earl Tipton and 

 family, A. Gross and Sid Gibbs, are all 

 at Canfield, O.; Joe King and family are 

 fishing at Lake Erie; Kay Page is visit- 

 ing at Lancaster, Pa. 



Representatives of the Marietta Flo- 

 ral Co., of Marietta, O., were visitors 

 here last week. 



The friends of Capt. J. H. Elliott, 

 who was identified with the flower busi- 

 ness for years, gave a dinner last week 

 at which the captain was the guest of 

 honor, thus celebrating his eighty-first 

 birthday. 



William Duff, of Mercer, Pa., formerly 

 of this city, is calling on his old friends 

 in the trade. Mr. Duff was formerly 

 of Dtiff & McKean, seedsmen, but for 

 some years he conducted a retail flower 

 store in the east end. 



Randolph & McClements are putting 

 the finishing touches on their new con- 

 servatory and expect to send out in- 

 vitations about the middle of August. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



The Landscape Floral Co. has been 

 incorporated here, with a capital of 

 $5,000. The incorporators are: James 

 F. Grimes, of Knoxville; J. L. Grimes, 

 of Pittsburgh, and J. S. Schubert, of 

 Mount Oliver. 



Indianapolis, Ind. — C. Marshall Yates, 

 formerly a grower of outdoor plants, 

 with an office at 2620 Highland place, 

 has withdrawn from the business here 

 on account of the opening of a street, 

 which rendered his property unfit for 

 his purpose. He expects to look for 

 another location before long.

DAHLIAS 



II 



|T is a well known fact that we are among the 

 largest growers of the best Dahlias in the 

 country, in an assortment that enables us to offer 

 catalogue sets at reasonable prices, that will meet 

 the requirement of the most critical trade, either for 

 the wholesale or retail catalogue. If you will write 

 us how many varieties you can list and an approxi- 

 mate estimate of how many you will use, and let us 

 suggest a list, you may make an interesting and 

 profitable discovery. The possibilities are certainly 

 worth investigation. 



It will pay you to see us in regard to Dahlias, 

 Cannas, Geraniums, etc.
