PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Delightful weather for the last two 

 weeks seems to have had a good effect 

 on the flower business. Narcissi and 

 tulips are at their best; lilacs are in 

 bloom and this week will bring the 

 first of the local peonies, but it seems 

 that the sight of the outdoor flowers 

 only causes the people to buy more than 

 formerly. Mothers' day was a big day 

 for the florists. Each year it ^ets bet- 

 ter and it «an now be classed with St. 

 Valentine's day as a cut flower day. 

 Of course carnations were in greatest 

 demand and they were the only flowers 

 which advanced in price, but every- 

 thing that looked like a flower was 

 sold, and by Saturday night the whole- 

 salers closed with empty refrigerators. 



The retail stores that do a plant busi- 

 ness are certainly busy, now that the 

 warm weather has arrived, and all want 

 their porch boxes at the same time. The 

 local growers were kept back in their 

 planting, as the wet weather prevented 

 them from getting the ground ready, but 

 all now have their stock of carnations 

 planted out. There is some diflfieulty in 

 getting labor, as the mills are paying 

 common labor much more than florists 

 can afford to pay, for there does not 

 seem to be so much money in the flower 

 business as in making ammunition. 



Various Notes. 



Schenley park has been a blaze of 

 glory since the tulips have come into 

 bloom. The delightful effects of -tulips 

 planted among shrubbery and in the 

 grass — colonies of them distributed all 

 over the park — certainly are showing 

 the people the proper way to get the 

 best results. This arrangement is much 

 more beautiful than planting in the 

 form of crosses, anchors and what not, 

 as one usually sees them. 



William Turner, on Sunday, May 14, 

 helped his father and mother to cele- 

 brate their golden wedding. Every 

 member of the family was present, as 

 there has not been a death among the 

 children or grandchildren. 



Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Langhans motored 

 to Washington, D. C, last week, to see

 Marion, who has been a pupil at Chevy 

 Chase.
