PITTSBUItaH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh now is having delightful 

 summer weather. Last week we had 

 three light frosts, none of them the 

 killing kind, but for some reason all 

 outdoor stock seems to have dropped 

 out of sight. This has made a better 

 demand for all good indoor stock, but 

 not enough to boost prices to any ex- 

 tent. There are plenty of roses of all 

 kinds except the special grades of 

 white. Chrysanthemums and carna- 

 tions are coming right along and Beau- 

 ties are plentiful and good. Lilies and 

 valley were somewhat scarce last week, 

 but, taking it all in all, business has 

 been quite good. September closed 

 satisfactorily and all indications are 

 for a good season. 



The retail stores all report trade as 

 above that of last year. The stores 

 all are looking fine with their new 

 decorations. 



Various Notes. 



The McKees Rocks Flower Shop has 

 gone out of business. 



The Woodville Floral Co. will open a 

 branch store in the west end this week. 



The Blind Floral Co. is rearranging 

 its store and the work will be com- 

 pleted in a few days, when it will be 

 one of the most attractive in the city. 



The year has brought many new faces 

 among the wholesale employees, a num- 

 ber of the old ones dropping out of the 

 game. 



John Frampton has gone back to 

 the Zieger Co., his first love. 



Turtle Creek now boasts of a flower 

 shop. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday, 

 October 5, to discuss dahlias and other 

 things. 



Ben Elliott is convalescing from the 

 whooping cough, which he caught while 

 out on the Pacific coast. Clarke. 



Anamosa, la. — G. Lehmann has 

 earned the right to be known as a vet- 

 eran of the florists' business, for it 

 was not until this year, Mr. Lehmann 's 

 eightieth, that he decided to retire. E. 

 L. Harvey, son-in-law of Mr. Lehmann, 

 is now managing the business.
