If we should build a greenhouse for ourselves we would put the best material we could 

 into it, but it would not be any better than we put into the houses that we build for 

 our customers. 



Yes, it would be an easy matter to skfinp here and substitute thei^e, and glossibvei*' in* 

 another place to save a little and meet the lowest bidder. We do not do busidlBS that 

 way. Why should we cheat ourselves in order to cheat a customer? 



Figure it out for yourself and then write us your needs.

Tbe Market. 



Pittsburgh is having delightful 

 weather and the result is that all the 

 stock in the greenhouses is looking 

 fine. Flowers of all kinds are plentiful 

 and chrysanthemums are flooding the 

 market. The bright weather is bring- 

 ing the carnations along much faster 

 than heretofore. Beauties and lilies 

 have been given an awful black eye 

 since the mums came. The pompon 

 mums are fine and are quite popular. 



The retailers have been fairly busy 

 with the first of the debutante affairs 

 and several weddings, but it has been 

 Buch fine weather and people are spend- 

 ing so much time outdoors that they do 

 not yet feel the need of flowers in the 

 home. A little more seasonable weather 

 will help a great deal. 



The wholesale houses are not clean- 

 ing up every day as they had become 

 accustomed to doing; one now always 

 can find a good bunch of stock on 

 hand. 



Various Notes. 



The Sewickley Florists' Club will 

 hold a chrysanthemum show November 

 2 to 5. It will be largely a society af- 

 fair, as the gardeners are from the pri- 

 vate places and all grow fine stock. 



A visit with Henry Meuschke, of 

 Castle Shannon, the other day was 

 highly enjoyable. Mr. Meuschke is one 

 of the largest growers in this district. 

 He has about 150,000 feet of glass de- 

 voted to carnations and roses, a few 

 chrysanthemums and a part of a house 

 of smilax. Everything looked fine not- 

 withstanding that he built a cbuple of 

 houses this year, when it was impossi- 

 ble to get help to do the absolutely 

 necessary things. Mr. Meuschke start- 

 ed in the growing end of the business 

 a few years ago because another busi- 

 ness was ruining his health. He ap- 

 plied the same good sense and energy 

 which had made him a success in his 

 own trade and the result has been suc- 

 cess in growing flowers. Clarke.
