PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Till' ctt'cct of tlio (lark wcatluM- iiiul 

 low t(.'nij)erature on tlie jirodiictiou of 

 stock is most |)r()iioiiiic('(l, and tlie pro- 

 vailing scarcity of nearly all kinds of 

 flowers seems to ])reclude all possibili- 

 ties of a sj)lendid Mothers' day bnsiness. 

 The wholesalers clear their supplies all 

 too soon, witli many of the orders filled 

 only in part. Heavy funeral work re- 

 corded a good week for the retailers. 



The plantsmen now are more active 

 and contemplate a good spring trade. 

 Some of them have advanced prices of 

 geraniums and other stock, Imt others 

 cling to tiie lower prices, apj)arently 

 feeling tliat better prices will turn the 

 sales to some other source of supply. In 

 some instances these growers would 

 make more money if they wiiolesaled 

 their stock, tliereby leaving the market 

 steady for those wlio are cajiable of en- 

 forcing higlier prices. 



Although the landscape men are busy, 

 they have troubles of their own to con- 

 tend vf^itii. Labor is at sucli a premium 

 that it is liard to liold a man oven at 

 $3 per day. Tlien the railroads are so 

 congesteil tliat deliveries are greatly re- 

 tarded. Kverything seems determined 

 to go widiig during the busy period. 



Various Notes. 



A liandsomo store lias been opened at 

 Tarentum Ity Arthur Godfrey. 



The meeting of tlie Florists' Club at 

 the Fort I'itt hotel last week was short 

 on attendance but long on interest. 

 There were good exhibits of bedding 

 plants. 



William T. McCauley, who has been 

 associated with tlie A. W. Smith Co., 

 has joined the naval reserves for duty 

 in the moscpiito fleet. 



Joiin Doiiias and S. Lasky have com- 

 bined their resources and energies and 

 opened a store in the Oakland district.
