cern is busy cutting peonies, having be- 

 come the largest grower in the country. 



Mrs. M. E. Sadewater, of Eockford, 

 was a visitor in the market May 12. 



Charles J. Graham, of Graham & Son, 

 Cleveland, was here last week. 



"W. C. Russell, of the Jones-Russell 

 Co., Cleveland, was another visitor of 

 the week. 



A. J. Burt, of Jackson, Mich., was 

 in the market this week. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Maxket. 



Carnations were scarce for Mothers' 

 day and higher in price, one wholesale 

 house charging $10 to $12 and another, 

 $15. All carnations were of fine quality. 

 Roses were the general substitute, these 

 blooms having increased to $6 and $20 

 over the previous week's $4 to $12. 



Red Cross Tulip Show. 



The opening date of the Red Cross 

 benefit tulip show at the country seat 

 of J. "Wilkinson Elliott was changed 

 from May 9 to May 12. Characteristic 

 of grand opera stars and other tempera- 

 mental public performers, the tulips, 

 one and all, declined to be in readiness 

 for the first-named date; hence the 

 change. Mr. Elliott coached a number 

 of young women in tulip lore so that 

 they might be in readiness to point out 

 the different varieties of the Holland 

 blooms. Arrangements were made by 

 the Motor Corps of the Pittsburgh chap- 

 ter to carry at least 100 wounded sol- 

 diers from the Parkview hospital to 

 Cheswick, while tulips were sent to the 

 boys who were unable to come. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. Gustav Ludwig returned May 7 

 from a five weeks' sojourn in Chicago, 

 where she was called because of the ill- 

 ness of her daughter, Mrs. Victor Berg- 

 man. The same day Mrs. Ernest C. 

 Ludwig returned from a visit with rela- 

 tives in New Galilee, Pa. 



John Hellstern, of Pleasant Valley, 

 W. Va., was a recent visitor. Among 

 the commercial travelers during the 

 week were P. Vandekamp, representing
