venience and economy. Besides the 

 usual line of seasonable plant ma- 

 terial a beginning has been made on 

 a department of fancy hot-house 

 stock such as crotons, dracaenas, 

 pandanuses and the like and there are 

 many tidbits of pretty little unusual

Roland. 

 Thomas Roland's Iioliday plants are, 

 as always, the perfection of finish, 

 i)earing the unmistakable evidences of 

 the master's handiwork. Mr. Roland 

 says that he is about sold out already 

 on some of the Christmas specialties. 

 Such men scarcely need solicit busi- 

 ness; it just comes to them.

Randolph & JlcClements are dis- 

 playing the first line of new Japanese 

 wares seen in this city, their exhibi-

 arrangement of boxes and baskets. 

 Their Thanksgiving display of fruit 

 baskets filled with luscious fruits and 

 autumn foliage with apijropriate ac- 

 cessories attracted unusual attention. 



John Yeaton, who has been ill for 

 some time with pleurisy, expects to 

 locate in California as soon as he is 

 able to travel. Mr. Yeaton. came to 

 Pittsburgh some months ago from 

 Philadelphia to take charge of the 

 bookkeeping department of G. P. 

 Weaklin & Co. 



William J. Ferguson, who opened a 

 flower shop on Penn avenue. East

 in Cleveland. O.

 Western Pennsylvania and one of the
