PITTSBURG. 



Rain at last and a soaker, too. Car- 

 nations and the other crops in field are 

 looking fine. Most of the paeonies 

 came a little late for Decoration Day. 

 It would have paid some of the florists 

 to have watered them, as good prices 

 could have been realized. Florists who 

 depend on cisterns and springs for 

 their water supply were compelled to 

 use it sparingly the last two weeks be- 

 fore the rain came. 



Cut flower trade has been good the 

 past week, s'.ocks cleaned up at good 

 prices for quality. A good deal of fu- 

 neral work was done. 



Benten?te'n & Flemm. corner Mar- 

 ket and Liberty streets, maintain a 

 tasty window dispky and report busi- 

 ness good. A. W. Smith also keeps up 

 a good display at his large store. 



Hertmsnn Bros, are reported as 

 about ready to give up their green- 

 houses in the Tenth ward. Allegheny, 

 intending to go to the woolly west. 



G. C. Re'neman is going to Mt. 

 Clemens, Mich., the Mecca tor all suf- 

 ferers of rheumatism. 



Henry Phipps. Jr.. the donor of the 

 conservatory ?t Schenley Park, has 

 donated $20,0(10 for a building for the 

 use of the pupils of the public schools 

 in which to s udy botany in connec- 

 tion with the conservatory at Schen- 

 ley Park. The idea is to have the ma- 

 terial right at hand for the school. 

 Plans are now being prepared.
