PITTSBUEOH. 



The Market. 



Jnne has been a quite satisfactory 

 month, all things considered. We have 

 had some of the hottest weather on 

 record for June, but still get some good 

 carnations, and roses are not so bad as 

 one might expect. The new crop of 

 home-grown roses is just coming. Kais- 

 erin does not seem to be much grown, 

 as this variety has not made its appear- 

 ance this season. There are some fine 

 Beauties,, good enough for winter, still 

 coming in, so that the extreme heat did 

 not do so much harm as did the lack 

 of rain for outdoor crops. We had a 

 hard storm June 27, with heavy r&in, 

 which continued long enough to soak 

 the ground. 



That the month's business will com- 

 pare well with last year's is the general 

 report. The usual cuts of lilies, gladioli, 

 sweet peas, valley and cornflowers make 

 up the receipts at present. Outdoor 

 flowers, such as peonies, roses and iris, 

 t were. particularly fine this year. 



^ Various Notes. 



. The retail stores are beginning to 

 put on that summer look, when they ar- 

 range for a water lily pond and use 

 , palms and ferns for their window dec- 

 orations, with every device that will 

 make them look cool. The employees are 

 arranging for their vacations and no 

 doubt from now on things will be quiet; 

 it will be a case of living off the dead. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams sailed July 1 on 

 the S. S. Aquitania for Europe, where 

 she will visit all of the prominent cities. 



David Hill will spend his vacation 

 in and around New York and Atlantic 

 City. 



Edward Ashcraft, of the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., won $100 as a prize in 

 the song and story contest in the Pitts- 

 burgh Dispatch, which will help pay the 

 expenses of his vacation. 



George McCallum, of the McCallum 

 Co., has purchased a Saxon runabout. 

 The boys have named it the Tinner's 

 Dream. George and John Sisley drove 

 it from Detroit to Pittsburgh. 



Randolph & McClements had the dec- 

 oration last week for one of the largest 

 weddings in Youngstown, O., in years. 



Walter Breitenstein, now that the sea- 

 son is over, has retired to his country 

 place at Logan's Ferry, for the summer. 



Herman Zieger, of the Zieger Co., re- 

 ports that they have had a good season. 

 He is not active in the business, as his 

 home is at Cheswick, Pa., where he 

 spends his time growing such things as 

 he can cultivate outdoors. 



William G. Duff, who for some years 

 was connected with the cut flower busi- 

 ness in this city, died June 25, and was 

 buried from the home of his niece in 

 Crafton. Mr. Duff was 74 years of age, 

 and was the last of his generation.
