Resolutions. 



LAST WEEK'S IMPORTS. 



According to a manifest on file at 

 the New York customhouse, the Dutch 

 steamer Maasdyke, from Rotterdam, 

 which arrived at New York June. 5, had 

 on board only five consignments for the 

 trade, as follows: J. Roehrs Co., 130 

 tubs trees; A. Rolker & Sons, 2 cases 

 trees; Wadley & Smythe, 254 tubs 

 trees; Maltus & Ware, 1 case plants; 

 Gray Bros., 13 packages bulbs. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh has been experiencing cool 

 weather, with a few rains every day. 

 Flowers have been arriving in great 

 quantities, especially roses and carna- 

 tions. There was not enough business 

 to move the daily cuts, and by Saturday 

 the street boys were able to buy stock 

 at a song, and nearly every downtown 

 doorway was occupied by a flower mer- 

 chant Saturday night. It looks now 

 as though the worst was over. Peonies 

 are done. The outdoor roses are at 

 their best, but a few days will finish 

 them, and after that good flowers will be 

 more in demand and harder to obtain. 



Some fine Spanish irises are coming 

 in and are in great demand. Cattleyas 

 have been fine, especially C. gigas, 

 which brings $9 per dozen without any 

 trouble. There are a few large wed- 

 dings in view to close the month, and 

 these, combined with school commence- 

 ments, will put life in business during 

 the remainder of the month. After 

 that time all hands probably will expe- 

 rience the usual summer business, or 

 lack of business.
