PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Trade the past week has been excep- 

 tionally good for this season; stock of 

 all kinds has shown an improvement. 

 Boses are better in color and are begin- 

 ning to get the usual size and length of 

 stem. Carnations are not very plentiful, 

 but chrysanthemums are becoming more 

 plentiful every day, so that they will 

 not be needed so badly, although since 

 asters ran out the shortage was greatly 

 felt. 



J. B. Murdoch & Co., the new whole- 

 sale house, have opened their new store 

 room, 545 Liberty Avenue, second floor, 

 and are now ready for business. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Qub met last Tuesday 

 evening. The subject for discussion 

 was ' ' Dahlias and Other Seasonable 

 Flowers. ' ' K, Vincent, Jr., & Sons, White 

 Marsh, Md., showed a lot of dahlias, 

 some of which were very fine and re- 

 ceived a great deal of praise from the 

 members present. Mr. Zimmerman, 

 the gardener at Dixmont, showed a num- 

 ber of things which he grows in quanti- 

 ty, such as gaillardias, dahlias, cosmos, 

 mignonette, small hardy sunflowers and 

 hardy asters. He explained that all of 

 these are used to brighten the rooms of 

 the lunatics, which was news to many, 

 who thought the only thing they got was 

 strait-jackets. 



Julius Ludwig brought a bunch of na- 

 tive gentian, or closed gentian, which 

 many present had never seen. The 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. showed some 

 fine vases of early chrysanthemums, 

 fTTOwn by the Pittsburg Rose and Carna- 

 tion Co. All of these things came in 

 for discussion and a very pleasant and 

 profitable evening was spent, after which 

 President Falconer called on John Bader 

 to give us an account of his trip to Cali-

fornia, and then we found out why John 

 was 80 quiet while we were discussing 

 dahlias. He said the ones we had were 

 nothing, as he had seen some in Cali- 

 fornia six times as large as the largest 

 we had, which would make them about 

 thirty inches in diameter. Pretty fair 

 sized dahlias! 



Variotis Notes. 



The Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co., 

 last week brought in its second gas well 

 within a month. This well will be 

 plugged for the present and Fred Burki 

 will not lose any sleep for some time 

 worrying about fuel, and he need not 

 care how high coal goes, as they now 

 have four flowing wells, two of which 

 will be held in reserve, possibly not 

 needed for a year or two. Just think of 

 that, you eastern brothers! 



Mrs. E. A. Williams made a trip east 

 and purchased an immense stock of large 

 palms, ferns and other decorative stock 

 to fill up the new houses, as she closed 

 out most of the old stock last spring to 

 make room for rebuilding. Mrs. Wil- 

 liams is the only woman in the business 

 in this city and she is capable of keep- 



ing the wisest of them on the jump as 

 far as getting orders for decorations is 

 concerned. 



The new store of A. K. Hutchison, in 

 Sewickley, opened last Thursday in a 

 blaze of splendor and trade so far 

 has exceeded all of Mr. Hutchison's 

 anticipations. 



T. P. Langhans paid a visit to Wash- 

 ington, D. C, last week on legal busi- 

 ness and then ran around by way of 

 Philadelphia, 



The People's Store, one of the depart- 

 ment houses in Pittsburg, has been 

 making a run on Boston ferns. This 

 is getting to be a fad with all the de- 

 parlment stores. 



Mrs. Flicker, of Homestead, Pa., haa 

 beer offering her place for sale. It 

 would be a great chance for anyone 

 with the cash. 



Walter Breitenstein, George and Ed. 

 Blind are reported as St. Louis visitors. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Anderson, Ind. — C. H. Williams has 

 bought the greenhouses and business of 

 Mark Longfellow, who is preparing to 

 move to Chattanooga.
