PITTSBURG. 



The trade in plants and cut flowers 

 has been good witli both wholesale ami 

 retail dealers. The weather has also 

 been quite favorable up until last Sat- 

 urday, April 4th. Friday and the pre- 

 vious day Pittsburg \vas among the 

 ■warmest cities in the United States. 

 Saturday it was included among the 

 coldest. Friday noon the mercury was 

 78 degrees. Saturday morning it was 

 29. Forty-nine degrees of a drop in 

 one night. On Sunday morning April 

 5th it was 18 above zero. Great cli- 

 mate, isn"t it? 



The plantsmen are all veiy Mell 

 pleased with the advance sales on both 

 tlow/ering and decorative work. The.\- 

 have been a great feature for this holi- 

 day and the stock offered has been un- 

 usually good. 



The only shortage in cut flowers for 

 Easter will be in carnations; our local 

 growers are all off crop and the cut 

 will be very small in this section. The 

 rose crop, both teas and Beauties, will 

 be just right and the cut very heavy. 

 Longiflorum and Harrisii lilies aie 

 abundant and selling slowly: instead of 

 the usual advance in prices on lilies for 

 Easter the prices have declined; lilies 

 have never before been sold so cheap. 



Everything first class in cut flowers is 

 moving quite freely. The only material 

 advance in prices for Easter in this 

 market is on carnations; other stock is 

 quoted at former prices. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. fur- 

 nished Randolph & JMcClements with 

 3.500 special Maids and 300 fancy Beau- 

 ties last Sunday. 



A. W. Smith's latest street car ad- 

 vertisement is "Fancy Easter Plants 

 without Fancy Easter Prices." 



Mrs. E. A. Williams is showing a fine 

 lot of blooming plants; the stock is well 

 gi-own. 



Breitenstein & Flemm are displaying 

 some beautiful Easter novelties in plant 

 baskets, designed bv Walter Breiten- 

 stein. Hoo-Hoo. 



QuiNCT, III. — All are looking for n 

 good spring trade, and as coal has been 

 higher the prices on bedding stock will 

 necessarily be higher. Heckenkanip has 

 about 20.000 potted plants for bedding 

 and an extra fine lot of pansies and 

 verbenas. Kroner, our youngest florist, 

 is doing a nice business on the Maag 

 place. The Gentemann Bros, have re"- 

 built some old houses and have all 

 strictly up to date. They are doing 

 their share of the business. Gross is 

 still at the old stand, the mo.st favor- 

 able location in the city. Heckenkamp's 

 carnations are as fine" as ever, coming 

 into full crop for Easter. His place 

 in the country, planted to roses, is also 

 coming on nicely. The demand for cut 

 flowers and funeral work has far ex- 

 ceeded the .supply all winter and spring. 



CHATTA?fOOGA. Tenn.— The Lightfoot 

 Nursery Co. has been incorporated with 

 a capital stock of $20,000. Mr. H. 

 Lightfoot will be at the head of the com- 

 pany, which will absorb the nursery 

 business of H. Lightfoot here and at 

 Cleveland, Tenn. 



Fitzgerald. Ga. — Joel Thomas re- 

 ports business as good. He will build 

 one new house and lengthen his old one. 



Akrox, O. — E. J. Bolanz has suc- 

 ceeded to the business of Bolanz Bros.
