 PITTSBURG, PA. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Trade has lieen about the same as 

 last week, with the supply still ex- 

 ceeding the demand. There are a few 

 up-town florists who report a fair 

 week, hoth iu decorative and funeral 

 work. 



The cloudy weather of the past 

 week did not have much effect on the 

 supply of cut stuff. Brides, Maids, 

 Meteors and Kaiserins brought from 

 $2 to $5, while Beauties sold at prices 

 ranging from $6 to $25; valley, $2 to 

 ?4; smilax, $15 to $20; adiantum. $1; 

 plumosus, 50 cents; sweet peas, 40 to 

 60 cents. 



H. A. Dreer Co. report a big demand 

 for French cannas. R. 



SPIRAEA VAN HOUTTEII. 



Every florist ought to have a few 

 specimens of this shrub on his 

 grounds. The long wands of white 

 flowers are very useful in floral ar- 

 rangements and they last very well in- 

 deed. Sprays cut last Thursday after- 

 noon and kept in vases in a dwelling 

 without any special care were still in 

 good condition Sunday evening. 



A shrub a few years old will produce 

 a great mass of bloom, and the sea- 

 son may be extended by placing the 

 shrubs in various positions. At Lin- 

 coln Park, Chicago, a specimen that 

 has a place in an angle of the con- 

 servatory that faces the southwest is 

 fully a week ahead of others in more 

 exposed situations. 



AMERICAN INSTITUTE. 



The schedule of prizes for the ex- 

 hibition of flowers, fruits and vegeta- 

 bles to be held at the American Insti- 

 tute, New York City, June 14 and 15,

 classes, and there are classes for 

 hardy plants and flowers. Prizes are 

 offered for fruits in seven classes and
