The Weekly Florists' Reviev,. 



PITTSBURG. 



A meeting of the Pittsburg and Al- 

 leglieny Florists' and G-ardeners' Club 

 was held Monday evening. July 25, to 

 consider the advisability of establish- 

 ing a cut tiower commission house in 

 Pittsburg. 



A large number of retail florists and 

 growers attended the meeting and the. 

 new venture here of "a cut flower com- 

 mission house" was thoroughly dis- 

 cussed. No conclusion was arrived at 

 as to how or on what plan this com- 

 mission house was to be conducted. 

 Your correspondent, however, ven- 

 tures to say that a commission house 

 will be established in Pittsburg ere 

 long. 



The meeting also decided that a com- 

 mittee of five should be appointed to 

 arrange for an outing of the club dur- 

 ing the latter part of August or begin- 

 ning of September. T. P. L. 



WASHINGTON. 



Those who have decided to go to the 

 convention at Omaha are getting out 

 railroad maps and planning for the 

 trip, while the stay-at-homes are 

 equally enthusiastic over some scheme 

 for an outing nearer home. Of the lat- 

 ter, Mr. Fred Miller of A. Gude & Bro., 

 has taken a trip in his canoe to Black- 

 istone Island, near the mouth of the 

 Potomac, to be gone six weeks; provid- 

 ed with gun and fishing tackle and nec- 

 essary material for splicing the main 

 brace as often as necessary. Mr. Mil- 

 ler is a true sport and will certainly 

 have a delightful time. 



Mr. Wm. R. Smith continues serious- 

 ly ill. He possesses a remarkable con- 

 stitution and rallies, only to be thrown 

 back by another hemorrhage.

HL'XT'S REVIEVl' OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



The pulse of trade seemed to quicken toward 

 the end of the week just past and this market 

 is looking to a gradual revival from the stag- 

 nation of the past four weeks. 



Perhaps the hopes are false and the demand 

 seemed greater because there was s<;arcely 

 anything to meet it. Rose stock was especially 

 short and anything that shows a color was 

 used, although the price remained at a com- 

 paratively low figure. 



Carnations still hold out remarkably well and 

 the outside grown are improving in regard to 

 stems. 



Aster, sweet peas, etc., etc., are in abun- 

 dance. 



Taking the sales of the week with its small 

 receipts and the showing is not much below 

 last year at this time.
