growers, good shippers and good keep- 

 ers. His favorites next in order are 

 Ward and White Perfection, He has 

 just finished planting six benches of 

 carnations and expects to be entirely 

 through with that work in three weeks. 

 Frank Seiler, 1835 Birchwood avenue, 

 Rogers Park, has been missing from his 

 home since July 11. Mr. Seiler operated 

 a greenhouse and was in comfortable 

 circumstances. At the time of his dis- 

 appearance he had more than $200 with 

 him. He was 33 years of age, weighed 

 about 145 pounds, was five feet six 

 inches in height and of light complexion. 

 Police search has been unavailing. 



Visitors. 



Among those who visited the market 

 last week was F. J. Foster, St. Louis. 

 He says Chicago has it on St. Louis 

 when it comes to heat and — this is a 

 confession — he was amazed at the activ- 

 ity of the Chicago wholesale flower dis- 

 trict July 27, the hottest day the city 

 has experienced in five years. He said 

 he was at a loss to account for it. 



Members of the trade were visited 

 this week by Miss Hardesty, of Har- 

 desty & Co., Columbus, O. 



Among the week 's visitors was Frank 

 Gorly, of Grimm & Gorly, St. Louis, 

 and his wife. 



George Crabb, of the Crabb & Hunter 

 Floral Co., was a visitor on the market 

 this week. 



PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



When Pittsburgh sweltered last week, 

 with the temperature at 90 degrees, the 

 interest in the cut flower business fell 

 off and trade showed more of a summer 

 condition than at any other time this 

 year. Roses have fallen off consider- 

 ably in supply and those coming in are 

 either open or ready to blow. Carna- 

 tions are likely to disappear entirely 

 this week. Lilies, cattleyas. Beauties 

 and fancy gladioli are the best of the 

 stock. Asters are fair, but the large 

 late ones have not made their appear- 

 ance. 



The retail stores appear somewhat 

 empty, many of the employees being

Various Notes. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. is cut- 

 ting some fine cattleyas. 



The growers are busy. It is necessary 

 to keep the field men on the job with 

 the hose, in order to keep the ground 

 loose during the dry weather. The emp- 



tying and repairing of houses has been 

 warm work the last two weeks. In 

 some cases the planting of carnations is 

 going right along. Labor troubles seem 

 to be easing up and the growers are able 

 to get the much needed help for the 

 heavy work. 



Henry Menschke has bis new houses 

 well under way and expects to have 

 them ready in time for planting.
