PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Trade conditions are jjood or bad, 

 depending somewhat on whom you ask. 

 The large quantities of lilac and out- 

 door blossoms have affected trade to 

 some extent. There is nothing doing in 

 social lines; still, in comparison" with 

 other lines of business, the cut flower 

 trade has more than held its own. The 

 weather has continued cool, with heavy 

 frosts May 14 and 15. The market is 

 well supplied with lilac, southern peo- 

 nies, iris and, in fact, everything needed. 

 The plantsmen are sending out a good 

 many bedding plants, in spite of the 

 cool weather. The prices of this stock 

 are about as usual. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club's entertainment 

 and banquet at the Fort Pitt hotel, May 

 14, was a success in every sense of the 

 word. About 125 persons were present. 

 An illustrated lecture on a trip througn 

 South America was a feature of the 

 evening. 



J. W. Glenn, of Kittanning, has the 

 sympathy of his many friends in the 

 loss of his wife, who died May 14. She 

 had been an invalid for about a year, 

 although able to go about her home. 

 Her death was unexpected, being caused 

 by a stroke. The funeral took place 

 May 16. ;_ Clarke. 



Court news in the Post May 8 in- 

 cluded this item: "W. H. Carney, a 

 wholesale florist, pleaded guilty to an 

 indictment charging him with embez- 

 zling $435 from the Powers Florist Co., 

 Danville, Pa., and the court placed him 

 on probation for one year with the un- 

 derstanding that he make restitution." 



HELENA, MONT. 



Mothers' Day. 



Mothers' day was the best ever. Trade 

 showed a substantial increase over last 

 year and all kinds of flowers sold. White 

 carnations and snapdragons in the 

 lighter shades were the general call. 

 The local papers drew attention to 

 bright flowers for the mother living, 

 with the result that there was a gen- 

 eral clean-up. 



Various Notes. 



The Peter Miller establishment re- 

 ports fine stock for Memorial day and 

 looks forward to a big day. 



The State Nursery Co. reports an ex- 

 cellent Mothers' day business, but flow- 

 ers of all kinds were scarce. Both 

 wholesale and retail departments are 

 now busy catering to the bedding plant 

 trade. J. W. H.

AFTER twenty-flve years' experience in Green- 

 house work, with Lotd & Burnham Company. 

 In the glazing and palntingr department, I am 

 conylnced that what is most needed In this line Is a 

 good shading, and I am pleased to advise you that I 

 have the real thing, which I am sure you will find to 

 be just what yon are looking for 



This shading Is beneficial to the painted wood. a» 

 It does not contain any gasoline or naphtha which 

 would destroy the paint In addition, it is beneflcia) 

 to the glaas also, for you will find that when the 

 shading Is removed the glass retains its former 

 brilliancy. 



As to its application, this is a very easy matter. It 

 can be either sprayed on or put on with a soft brush. 

 For real good work, however, I would recommend 

 the use of a soft brush. 



Another advantage of this shading is that when it 

 is no longe&jneded. it can be removed without any 

 difBcuityk iMring the glass, as before stated, with its 

 original brnUancy. 



I am mAlng this up In gallon cans. In three 

 shades— Ugkt green, light blue and pure white. 

 When ordeflDg, kindly me&tlon the color desired. 



I trust that you will kindly favor me with a trial 

 order to prove Its worth, after which I have no dotibt 

 whatever but that yon will continue its use.
