The Weekly Florists' Review, 



.TaNI AMY L'l. l: 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



AVe are ox)ierienc-iiig a spell of very 

 uiiccmfortalile ami disagreeable weather, 

 which has a rather ileiiressinu; effect on 

 tiMiisient liiisiiiess. While tlie general re- 

 ])ort on business among the rctajl florists 

 is very favorable, the wholesalers and 

 growers complain. There is certainly a 

 kill in all branches of trade at the pres- 

 ent time, and it has some effect on tlu> 

 florist. 



Stock of all kinds is (|uite plentiful at 

 this writing. Carnations aie coming ;•■ 

 hea%'ily and of very good quality. Witli 

 prices ranging as low as .$S per 1,000 

 (in small lots $2 to .■f4 per 100) stock 

 lilies not clean u[i at all satisfactory, 

 ilaids. Brides and Liberties are in very 

 fair demand and clean sales are report- 

 ed. Prospects are that rose cuts will 

 shorten up and prices will stiffen. Spe- 

 cial American Beauty roses are anything 

 but plentiful ; of shorter grades there 

 are more than enough. Tulips are very, 

 plentiful and poor sale. Paper White 

 narcissi and Koman hyacinths still re- 

 main a glut. In greens the market is 

 well supplied, plenty of smilax, aspara- 

 gus and Sprengeri at usiuil prices. 



Various Items. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is re- 

 ceiving some very fine wMte lilac and 

 freesia. 



The Wabash Eailroad, which dealt so 

 cruelly with our friend, Christ Eieger. 

 evidently did the handsome thing, for 

 he is building a five-story brick and iron 

 factory building at Forbes and Boyd 

 streets. 



Randolph & McClemeuts did the deco- 

 rating for the Fairbanks-Cassidy wed- 

 ding. Instead of the traditional white 

 bridal bouquet the bride carried a hand- 

 some bunch of ilarie Louise violets.

Argola, III. — T. J. Denney's green- 

 house had a narrow escape from destruc- 

 tion by fire January 4. The blaze caught 

 from the boiler and was discovered in 

 the nick of time.
