International Growers' Exchange, 



337 Sixth Ave., PITTSBURG, PA. 



PITTSBURG. 

 Various Items. 



J. J. Bolton, ot Beaver Falls, Pa., 

 ■was a visitor this week. 



An innovation, for Pittsburg at 

 least, was the sale of potted plants by 

 a large retail department store, four 

 plants — geranium, rex begonia, fuchia, 

 pelargonium — are bundled together in 

 one package and sold at 20 cents. 



Business the past week has been 

 rather quiet among retailers. The 

 wholesalers report out-of-town trade 

 as very good. Tlfe supply of stock is 

 now very abundant, a surplus of al- 

 most everything is on hand. First 

 class roses and carnations find ready 

 sale, the poorer grades are in little de- 

 mand. 



The Botanical Society of Western 

 Pennsylvania celebrated "Field Day" 

 last Saturday in a thoroughly inter- 

 esting and instructive manner, by a 

 jaunt through Schenley Park conser- 

 vatories, gardens and nurseries. Su- 

 perintendent Falconer acted as guide. 



Numerous floral tributes for the 

 funeral of Captain John Gregg, of 

 Monongahela, 'Pa., of the Fourth 

 United States infantry, who was killed 

 in the Philippines, were by I. Shelby 

 Crall, of Monongahela, Pa., and some 

 by our local florists. Some of the 

 pieces were of unusual excellence.

 Stokes are the active managers. It 

 aims to be helpful to the trade in 

 many different ways. Copies of their

Clear Cypress 

 Greenhouse flaterial. 



This with us means the best growth of Cypress Lumber and 

 the best grade of that growth; and from this grade all the sap — 

 bright sap, which only experts can detect — as well as stained sap, 

 knots and other defects cut out. Others do not equal our quality 

 if they do beat our prices. It is not hard to see the reason : You 

 can not buy gold dollars at fifty cents each. Experienced growers 

 know that the best is not too good and cheapest in the long run.
