PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Thanksgiving trade was good and came 

 up to all expectations with the store men, 

 but the growers and retail tlorists who 

 have stands outdoois complain and say 

 business was not good. The weather, 

 which was cold but very pleasant, had a 

 bad effect on business with the side- 

 walk merchants. Summing up the gen- 

 eral amount of business, I be- 

 lieve all will agree that busi- 

 ness is gradually increasing and we are 

 not feeling the depression in our stock 

 market as much as we expected. Busi- 

 ness is ahead, so far this season, with 

 the corresponding time of last year. 



The majority of flowers received last 

 week were chrysanthemums. The whole- 

 sale places were loaded down with them : 

 every grower had plenty and all seemed 

 to ship at one time. Nevertheless the 

 queen of autumn held its own and on 

 Thursday morning the wholesalers were 

 cleaned up very nicely. The shortage of 

 supply in carnations and roses stimu- 

 lated a demand for mums, which were 

 sold at reasonable prices, ranging from 

 $6 to $15 per 100. Some of the fancy 

 brought $20 and $25. 



Carnations were scarce and not nearly 

 enough to supply the demand. Eoses 

 were also short in supply, especially 

 Brides. Quantities of American Beau- 

 ties arrived Wednesday, of which the 

 quality was extra fine, Isut the demand 

 was limited. A fine lot of longiflorum 

 lilies of the gigantic type are now in the 

 market and meet with good sale. 



The new additions are baby primroses, 

 Eoman hyacinths. Paper White narcissi. 



sweet peas, candytuft, sweet alyssum and 

 stevia. 



Violets both double and single varie- 

 ties are now to be had in unlimited quan- 

 tities. The demand for chrysanthemums 

 since Thanksgiving has fallen off very 

 noticeably and their existence after that 

 day is not very desirable. 



Various Items. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is show- 

 ing some very choice boxwood sprays. 

 Mr. Langhans reports a big demand for 

 this pretty green, which is such an indis- 

 pensable article at Christmas. 



Ben Elliott is cutting fine Paper White 

 narcissi. 



Charles Koenig, of the Pittsburg Rose 

 & Carnation Co., reports that the stock 

 at Bakerstown is in fine condition and 

 the prospect for a good cut for Christ- 

 mas. 



C. T. Siebert has a new delivery 

 wagon. 



Wm. Loew, our local green goods man, 

 lost $400 worth of his goods by fire. 

 His loss is fully covered by insurance. 



It is just one year since John Herron, 

 late assistant superintendent of Alle- 

 gheny parks and a man known to 

 all and respected by all local florists, was 

 carried to his last long sleep. The occa- 

 sion was fittingly remembered by one of 

 his former associates in the park by de- 

 positing a wreath of flowers upon his 

 grave. May his memory be long kept 

 green. 



The craft also extend their heartfelt 

 sympathy to Frank Sehoen, who lost his 

 wife November 27.
