PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh has been having cool 

 weather, which has been good for busi- 

 ness. Stock is in sufficient supply for 

 the demand. Eoses are better and some 

 good flowers from the young stock have 

 reached the market. Asters have been 

 poor, many of the flowers having short 

 and crippled stems, while the heavy 

 rains have soiled them. Gladioli are 

 plentiful. Some of the flowers are good, 

 but the majority are not worth much. 

 Lilies are excellent, but there are not 

 enough of them. Snapdragons and 

 chrysanthemums complete the list of 

 stock. 



Various Notes. 



Local growers have their carnations 

 planted, but those who have plants to 

 sell say that they are still receiving 

 orders. 



Most of the members of the trade 

 have had their vacations. 



Eetailers report that business was 

 good last week, there being considerable 

 funeral and wedding work. 



B. L. Elliott and family have returned 

 from Oregon and report having a splen- 

 did time. While there they saw Mr. and 

 Mrs. John Bader, who, they say, are 

 well and happy and taking life easy. 



During the electrical storm Septem- 

 ber 5, the home of Edward Weaver at 

 Undercliff station was struck by light- 

 ning. Tlic wliolo family felt the shock, 

 but none was seriously injured. The 

 damage to the house was slight. 



While the storm was at its height 

 Wednesday night, September 5, a bur- 

 glar entered the home of S. D. McMil- 

 len, manager of J. M. Johnston's store 

 at Braddock, Pa., and stole his trousers. 

 The burglar searched them on Mr. Mc- 

 Millen's front porch, extracted $75 in 

 currency and left the trousers and a 

 bank book and other papers. 



T. P. Langhans with his family left 

 September 5 for an automobile trip to 

 the White mountains in New Hamp- 

 shire. 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club met 

 September 4. The subject discussed was 

 ''Seasonable Flowers." There was a 

 fair attendance.
