JUNE 22, JS99. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The large number of June weddings 

 with their elaborate decorations have 

 made business good. All of the local 

 florists had a share of this business 

 Considering the season of the year the 

 sloek furnished is good. No special 

 surplus is noticeable. The wholesale! s 

 report out-of-town trade good. Beau- 

 ties quoted from $1 to ?2 per dozen; 

 Brides, Maids and Meteors, from $2 to 

 $6; carnations, SO cents to $1.50 per 

 hundred; lilies, $4 to $6 per hunderd; 

 sweet peas, 40 to 75 cents per hun- 

 dred; valley, $3 to $4; gladiolus, $6 

 to $8 per hundred. 



News Notes.

 St. Louis, last Sunday, to attend the

 the arrival of a fine big girl baby.

Various Notes. 



Bedding out spring stock is about 

 completed, although much of it re- 

 mains undone, owing to the scarcity 

 of bedding stock. Good blooming gera- 

 niums were almost impossible to ob- 

 tain and coleus, cannas and caladiums 

 sold like hot cakes. Private collections 

 were taken up by the residents on 

 the several boulevards for flower beds, 

 which materially helped to clean up 

 the stock. 



Demand for cut flowers is very 

 brisk, owing to commencement exer- 

 cises. Pink and white roses are quite 

 plentiful, but Meteor and Beauties are 

 scarce. Carnations are about equal to 

 demand. 



Next week is carnival week, in 

 which the floral parade is one of the 

 most important features, although pa- 

 per flowers are used exclusively.
