DASIDIE, TRINIDAD.; 



Cyril Larsen, who came here from 

 the Kew Gardens eighteen months ago, 

 is the manager of the Trinidad Plant 

 Co. One of the concern's specialties is 

 dracsena for shipments of canes to the 

 United States, At the present time 

 there are some fine specimens among 

 the seedlings from improved varieties. 

 Aspidistras, amaryllis, cycas and palms 

 of all kinds are also grown. 



PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



With the most delightful summer 

 weather one could imagine, and little 

 going on in the trade, there is nothing 

 for the florist to do but take things 

 easy, and that is what most of the re- 

 tailers are doing. They seem to enjoy 

 it so well that there is little talk of 

 vacations. There is enough good stock 

 of all kinds coming in to satisfy the 

 demands and the wholesalers seem 

 quite pleased with conditions and, like 

 the retailers, are taking it easy. 



Among the growers one can see more 

 hard work. There is great activity, 

 but only in putting the houses in shape, 

 not in building. Some remodeling is 

 being done. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club met July 7 for 

 the last time until fall. 



I cannot find anyone who is sure of 

 going to the convention, although the 

 ocean trip appeals to a great many 

 and, as there will probably be another 

 hot spell before that time, there will 

 be a representation of some kind from 

 this city. 



James Higgins says his back door 

 opens on the park and that he could 

 not find anything prettier if he went 

 to look for it, so he and the baby prob- 

 ably will summer in Hiland park. 



Samuel McClements is so busy see- 

 ing that things are in shape for fall 

 that he cannot consider leaving Stan- 

 ton avenue for more than a day's run 

 in his machine. 



Fred Burki and family propose leav- 

 ing in a few days in their Packard car 

 for a trip to Buffalo, Detroit and other 

 points of interest.
