 from the present outlook a lot of them

Various Notes. 



Max Spanner has the sympathy of 

 the trade in the loss of his father. U. 

 Spanner, of Cleveland. Mr. Spanner 

 has had considerable misfortune of late, 

 this being the second death in a few 

 months. He lost a son in an auto acci- 

 dent and the father never fully recov- 

 ered from the shock. 



A new flower shop has opened in the 

 theater district, next to Keith's vaude- 

 ville house, under the name of the Art 

 Floral & Decorating Co. It is in charge 

 of W. C. Holstein, who has an attrac- 

 tive shop in what should prove a favor- 

 able location. Mr. Holstein was with 

 Max Spanner before opening this shop. 

 The new firm is a stock company and 

 incorporated. F. L. P. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



While not flooded with water, Pitts- 

 burgh has been flooded with flowers all 

 this week. Most of the railroads are 

 accepting shipments for all points sold 

 by this city, but trade seems to have 

 slumped and consignors to this city will 

 be able to read it in their statements 

 of returns. It has been so long since 

 we have had Beauties in quantities that 

 people seem to have forgotten them. 

 Violets are faring worse. They are not 

 good at best and, then, I believe people 

 are holding spite against them for the 

 way they acted at Easter, and you can- 

 not blame them. 



The wholesalers are not escaping, 

 stock of all kinds arriving in quantities 

 and trade being unusually quiet. The 

 retailers seem to be busy, but not the 

 kind of busy that uses any quantity of 

 stock, so it is safe to say business is 

 quiet. 



Club News. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- 

 ing in the Dutch room of the Fort Pitt 

 hotel, with a good crowd in attendance. 

 Several new names were proposed for 

 membership, and after the regular busi- 

 ness was concluded Walter Breitenstein

was called on for a talk and demon- 

 strations on the use of flowers and rib- 

 bons for the retail trade. Mr. Breiten- 

 stein is an artist of known repute in 

 the trade and possesses rare skill in 

 using and combining all of the odds 

 and ends hanging around counters and 

 ice-boxes, and making them up into 

 striking effects that please the most ex- 

 acting customers, but he is not so strong 

 on talk. His demonstrations of com- 

 bining colors were better than mere 

 talk, however, and were instructive, in- 

 asmuch as he advocated more general 

 use of reds, yellows and purples and 

 showed many effects with these colors. 

 He advocated growing and using more 

 flowers of the ca4endula class, yellow 

 tulips, especially the doubles, showing 

 the colors and kinds of ribbons to use. 

 He criticised the use of satin ribbon of 

 any kind and said that the only recom-
