BLOOMING AND FOLIAGE PLANTS FOR CHRISTMAS

PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Xoxenibcr was a most satisfactory 

 month; cxcelient business was clone. De- 

 ceinlier started in right and business 

 following Thanksgiving day was good. 

 Tlie supply houses have rushed Decem- 

 ber 1 deliveries, and if the retailers are 

 wise they will gather in everything they 

 will need, as they cannot afford to take 

 chances with belated deliveries. The 

 express companies can procure neither 

 cars nor men to handle their shii)nients. 



Thanksgiving trade at the retail 

 stores was splendid an<i tlie outlook for 

 December business is good. Cliivsanthe- 

 nmms are a thing of the past. Hoses, 

 carnations, narcissi and lilies are in 

 greater deman<l, but the prices remain 

 about the same. Chiysanthemnms were 

 plentiful for Thanksgiving and cleaned 

 uj) at good prices. Owing to some nn- 

 forttniate delay with the express compa- 

 nies, the violets intended for Thanks- 

 giving did not arrive until Wednesday 

 evening. This was too late to fill orders 

 and many buyers wei'e disa]>pointed. 



Various Notes. 



The death of .John Baldinger, which 

 occurred December 1, is recorded in the 

 obituary column. Clarke.

IMMEDIATE DELIVERY 



11. We are now booking orders for our new seedling Superb, $12.(X) per 100, 



$100.00 per 1000. 



Superb is a sport of Gloriosa and Enchantress. It has the good stem of Gloriosa 

 and the fine growing habit of Enchantress. The color is a flesh pink and it keeps 

 its color at all seasons. The flowers average about three inches, are very full and 

 generally receive full score on substance. The flowers are all perfect and do not 

 split. In the four years we have grown it, it has proved the best commercial vari- 

 ety, barring none.
