PITTSBUBGH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh froze up for the winter 

 Thursday night, NoviMuber 11, and there 

 is no more outdoor stock of any kind. 

 Trade lias been good along all lines, 

 daily cleaning up in the wholesale 

 houses, and stock of all kinds is bringing 

 good prices. Chry-santhemums are good 

 .stock; in fact, this market is about 

 cleaned up on locally grown mums. 

 There are plenty of good pompons and 

 tliey find ready sale. 



lioses are now u]) to the winter stand- 

 ard and are bringing winter prices. 

 They clean up every day. There are 

 some sweet ])ea8, but the demand seems 

 to be for larger flowers. They will now, 

 however, come into their own. Paper 

 "Whites have made their appearance, but 

 are not much of an attraction. Amer- 

 ican Beauties are nearly all of the 

 shorter grades and move more slowly. 



Greens of all kinds are plentiful. The 

 demand for early shipments of boxwood 

 is in evidence. Many prefer to get 

 their stock in and take care of it rather 

 than take a chance on the later ship- 

 ments, should the weather turn wet and 

 cold in the south. Some fine ground 

 pine is being offered. 



"Various Notes.

 at Sharon, Pa. George Baker is the pro- 

 prietor and looks forward to a good busi- 

 ness this winter.

 busy with funeral work and has a fine 

 lot "of potted plants for Christmas.

 neral work. 



E. Klinefelder, former assistant de- 

 signer of Butz Bros., New Castle, Pa., 

 and Miss Alice McNeil, formerly with 

 Fisher & McGrath. surprised their many 

 friends by uniting in matrimony, No-

Mi'iirion Tlie Review when you write. 



Lets Look This Production Situation 

 Square in the Face! 



This year, many of you had plenty 

 of rain, and a ttood cut. Stock didn't 

 all bring top-notcii prices, but it 

 cleaned up fairly well, and made a 

 good summer season. 



But suppose tliere had been two. 



three or four weeks with no rain, 



in midsummer, causing your crops 



practically to fail? 



Then 'twould be a very different 



story. 



And yet, you know from past exper- 

 ience (which you can verify from 

 Weather Department rain records) 

 that the chances are nine to one, 

 you won't get enough rain at the 

 right times next season. 



And you know how, in any modern 

 business, "production" is planned 

 for, and safeguarded" against all 

 possible interruptions. 

 Isn't it good .sound business sense, 

 then, for you at least to find out how- 

 much it would cost to remove the 

 dry weather risk forever from your 

 business? 



.lust fill in this blank, and mail it to 

 us, and we'll quote you exact price 

 on "The Skinner System," with the 

 wonderful "Silver Stream" nozzle 

 that has revolutionized overhead 

 irrigation.
