PITTSBURGH, PA. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh has boon enjoying its first 

 real summer weatlier of the year and 

 the call for flowers has been brisk. 

 Wholesalers have been cleaning up their 

 daily supplies in better shape than is 

 usual at this season of the year. 



Peonies and Spanish irises are about 

 finished and few sweet peas were in 

 the market. There are still some fine 

 carnations and roses, which with Beau- 

 ties and lilies supply the demand. 



The retailers have been busy with a 

 good call for funeral work, and school 

 commencements and social work have 

 helped. Tlie ])lant business still is hold- 

 ing up, owing to the late season and lack 

 of help. 



Various Notes. 



The wholesale liouses have gone on 

 summer schedule and now close daily 

 at 5 p. m. 



There has not been so much planting 

 in the parks tliis year as usual because 

 of scarcity of help. 



Randolph & McClements liad a large 

 wedding at Franklin, Pa., last week and 

 another at Oil City June 26. They re- 

 port an excellent spring business in 

 plants, porch boxes and in social work, 

 the latter including the wedding last 

 week of Samuel McClements, Jr. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had an attractive 

 window display of tuberous-rooted be- 

 gonias combined with ferns and flags. 



G. P. Weaklen & Co. say that the last 

 was the best season in their history. 

 Business has been so strenuous that the 

 employees are looking forward to vaca- 

 tions, wliich begin in July. 



The Blind Floral Co. is making some 

 fine displays in its Froncli windows, 

 whif'li lend themselves nicely to the 

 outdoor flowers that liave been used. 

 The company's ])lant business was up to 

 previous years, notwithstanding the bad 

 weather. 



Miss Emma B. Maxwell reports a 

 splendid season and says her force has 

 been worked so liard a couple of quiet 

 months will be welcome. 



William Turner's cut flower business 

 continues to iiicreasc and, besides, he 

 has liad a good season with ])lants. 



Miss Nellie G. King has been having 

 a large quantity of funeral work. She 

 says hor l)usinoss has shown a steady 

 growtli (luring the lust year. 



Harry J. Hamm is settled in his new 

 location. 



Mrs. B. L. J]lliott and daughter left
