The Market* 



There has been a slight revival in 

 business this week but there is still much 

 to be desired. Asters continue to weigh 

 down the market although receipts are 

 not quite so heavy as they were. The 

 growers have found that the poor grades 

 hardly bring express charges if, indeed, 

 they are sold at all, and some of them 

 have, therefore, stopped shipping any- 

 thing except their very best stock. But 

 even this makes a great variety of ma- 

 terial and the waste is still large, though 

 as high as $1.50 to $2.00 is paid for 

 some of the best stocic ; however, $1.00 per 

 hundred buys good asters and in quan- 

 tity the buyer makes his own price. 



There are enough Beauties for all; in 

 fact, prices are a little weak. Good 

 Brides are in active demand for shipping 

 and Maids hardly less so, the average 

 receipts not being up to the quality re- 

 quired. Kaiserin is good property. Lib- 

 erty is abundant and C?hatenay in over- 

 supply. Indoor carnations are not long 

 enough to fetch a price and the outdoor 

 stock is pretty badly used up, so that it 

 is a problem to get stock which will be 

 acceptable to out-of-town customers. 



The gladioli do not pile up so badly as 

 a week ago, but are yet abundant. Hy- 

 drangeas are offered at low prices. A 

 few sweet peas are still seen. There are 



{(lenty of greens. Talk of ferns is that 

 arger quantities than ever will go into 

 cold storage this fall. It is said the Hins- 

 dale people have raised their prices as 

 compared to last year. 



Various Notes, 



The manufacturers , of greenhouse 

 building material all report business for 

 the year as exceeding their expectations. 

 They are still very busy and orders are 

 coming in at a lively rate. Most of the 

 building has been by outside growers, 

 the bulk of local building coming from 

 the vegetable growers north of town. 



Wm. Fluegge, Jr., a brother of 

 Fluegge Bros., who have succeeded Wm. 

 Fluegge, Sr., on Lawrence avenue, built 

 a nice range of glass at Morton Grove 

 last season and now has his place in fine 

 shape, growing carnations. He ships 

 his cut to A. L. Randall Co. and his 

 brothers ship to E. C. Amling. 



John Mangel has had a nice showing 

 in his window the past week, using 

 Hunt's birch bark baskets in medium 



sizes, filled with fine, long-stemmed Shas- 

 ta daisies, with a pale yellow ribbon tied 

 on the handle. They are effective for 

 many purposes. 



J. A. Budlong reached Providence, R. 

 I., safely on his annual bicycle trip to 

 visit relatives there. 



C. Ml Dickinson is expected home from 

 Mt. Clemens in a few days but is not 

 yet wholly freed from rheumatism. 



P. J. Hauswirth goes to St. Joe, Mo., 

 tomorrow to attend the annual national 

 meeting of the Jved Men. 



Peter Eeinberg, John Muno, B. F. 

 Weber and Matt Evert have returned 

 from a week's good shooting at Morgan, 

 Minn. 



Frank Garland states that he has can- 

 celed all of his Dutch bulb ordera and 

 will try to live down the name of Little 

 Holland, given his place at Des Plaines 

 because of the number of bulbs forced 

 there in reoent years. One season he 

 forced over 300,000 and sales aggre- 

 gated $5,800, which was little enough, 

 and the last year or two there has b^n 

 no profit worth mentioning. He now has 

 a big house of mums for which a follow 

 crop will have to be found and intends 

 to try violets. He will still grow Easter 

 lilies and a few French bulbs. 



C. E. Morton is expected home from 

 Europe in a few days. His deal with 

 John H. Holden, for the purchase of 

 his Forty-seventh street store, which was 

 all arranged last spring, has not yet been 

 consummated. 



Mons Olson, of J. A. Budlong 's, is at 

 Kansas City for a few days. 



A. L. Randall is now shipping the 

 peach crop from his farm in Michigan, 

 but it isn't a big one, orchards near the 

 lake having suffered badly last winter. 



E. F. Winterson Co. is getting in a few 

 baskets of pansies but they sell slowly 

 at $2.00 per 100 bunches. 



Weiland & Risch have about 5,000 

 single-stemmed chrysanthemum plants 

 which have made a wonderful growth. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. are rushing build- 

 ing operations on their new glass. 



Last year we had frost S^tember 10.

PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Corfu, N. Y. — LeRoy E. Adams has 

 bought out Wm. F. Jeffords. 



The retailers seem glad that August is 

 past and are expecting better business in 

 September, with the returning of city 

 people, and improvement in stock will 

 make increased sale. However, I believe 

 from some things I have heard that thia 

 August was as good as any other August. 



Various Notes. 



Ollie Beet, manager of L. I. Neff *B 

 east end store, has gone to California 

 with the Knights Templar. 



The Knights of Pythias dedicated 

 their farm and home one day last week 

 and E. C. Ludwig contributed the stock 

 to plant an orchard. As Ernest never 

 does anything by halves, some nursery- 

 man is going to get a good order. 



B. L. Elliott, the rose and carnation 

 grower of Cheswick, and his wife, will 

 spend a few weeks on the briny deep. Ben 

 has been making inquiry as to the best 

 thine to anchor your stomach with. 



All growers in this section report 

 planting all done and had good weather 

 to do it in. They are now only waiting 

 for winter to harvest their shekels. 



We have just heard of a florist who 

 has moved into a store formerly occupied 

 by a real estate man. The sign over the 

 door read: "Pay little and buy lots." 

 He says it is a good sign and has left 

 it up. 



J. J, Zimmerman, formerly at L. I. 

 Neff's Braddock store, has opened a new 

 store on Mt. Washington. 



W. B. Ague, who runs the big flower 

 stand in the Liberty Market, has just 

 returned from Atlantic City . 



Randolph & McClements, in order to 

 make room for their always increasing 

 trade, are going up in the air this time 

 by adding another story to their store, 

 also putting down a cement walk around 

 their property. 



The boys at the Pittsburg Cut Flower 

 Co. were buried in asters last week. A 

 heavy demand would have been necessary 

 to clean up this stock. 



Paul M. Pierson, of Scarborough, was 

 one of the visitors last week. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., stopped 

 in this city on his way from St. Louis. 



Ed. Reid, of Philadelphia, stopped 

 here on his way west. 



Will Flemm, of Breitenstein & Flemm, 

 is away on his vacation. Hoo-Hoo.
