PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh had a week of fine 

 weather and the result was a flood of 

 everything seasonable, especially roses 

 and carnations, but today, April 12, we 

 have had sleet, rain, hail and sunshine 

 alternately. Western Pennsylvania 

 needs plenty of rain, for we have had 

 little snow this winter and no rain 

 until now. The farmers are actually 

 stirring up dust with their spring plow- 

 ing. The wholesale houses are flooded 

 with stock of all kinds — Beauties, roses, 

 lilies, mignonette and almost any- 

 thing you can think of. You can name 

 your own price, provided you will buy 

 in thousand lots. The stock is all fine. 

 Betailers still are keeping up fine dis- 

 plays of plants and all are fairly busy 

 with cut flowers. .Easter trade was 

 satisfactory and there has been little 

 complaint as to business since then. 



Various Notes. 



The Eosenbaum Co. moved into its 

 new building April 7. Bay Daschbach 

 had the decorations, but almost every 

 florist had a part in the orders from 

 out-of-town and from city firms who 

 sent baskets of flowers and plants. 

 Immense quantities of stock were used 

 for the opening of this concern, which 

 helped to relieve a flooded market. 



Harry Hamm had the decorations for 

 the charity ball given by the Benights 

 of Columbus, April 7, at the Motor 

 Square Garden. 



A. W. Smith, Jr., of the A. W. Smith 

 Co., can hardly find time to go home. 

 The landscape department is booming 

 and he reports a general improvement 

 in business. He says he hardly knows 

 where it is coming from, but is satis- 

 fied it is here to stay. The store is 

 filled with blooming plants of every 

 description, flowering shrubs, etc. Many 

 customers, after making purchases, sit 

 down to Udmire the flowers and listen 

 to the birds sing, as cages of canaries 

 are hung all over the store. 



HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 



These will be found of unusual vigor and of exceptionally fine quality. We grow these plants, 

 at our Nurseries at Andalusia, where the heavy soil produces extra fine quality. This offer i& 

 gUbject to stock being unsold when order is received. Mention this special offer when ordering.
