PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



The stores this week had one of those 

 periods of ups and downs. There were 

 Bome good orders floating around and you 

 would find some busy one day and some 

 another, but most of them complained of 

 having had some very poor days. The 

 phop windows are largely decorated with 

 mums and autumn leaves, which are very 

 beautiful this fall. The chrysanthemum 

 fcason is now on in earnest. 



Various Notes. 



H. C. Frick opened his conservatories 

 at his residence in the east end to the 

 public Sunday, and they will be open to 

 all visitors until the mum season is over. 

 The grand display of orchids and chrys- 

 anthemums reflects much credit on Da- 

 vid Frazier, the gardener, and was ap- 

 preciated by the many visitors. 



Superintendent Geo. Burke, of Schen- 

 ley park, has had his force busily en- 

 gaged for a week arranging the chrys- 

 anthemum display at the Phipps con- 

 servatory. The stock is said to be in 

 excellent condition, although owing to 

 the warm weather they have come out 

 much earlier than expected. The show 

 will open October 30 instead of one week 

 later, as intended. This is always a 

 grand show and is one of the fall fea* 

 tures of this city. The railroads run 

 excursions during the riiow and thou- 

 sands of people from a distance take ad- 

 vantage of them to visit these beauti- 

 ful conservatories and are well repaid. 



Superintendent Wm. Hamilton will 

 open his chrysanthemum show at the 

 Phipps conservatory, Allegheny park, Oc- 

 tober 30, and Jas, Moore, the foreman, 

 is getting things in shape for a treat 

 for the AUeghenians. Beside the mums 

 he will also have a house of orchids in 

 bloom and one of begonias. The splen-

WABASH 



Trains to St. Louis pass and stop at the World's Fair main entrance^ 

 where the Wabash has its own mag^nificent station with every facility 

 for rapid handling: of passengers^ bagfg^agfe and express. No other line 

 lands you nearer than the Union Depots six miles from the grounds* 

 This hint may be valuable to exhibitors at the Great World's 

 Fair Flower Show* Palace of Horticulture, St. Louis, Nov. 7-12.

did weather we have had has also brought 

 this show on one week earlier than was 

 intended. These three shows are gotten 

 up on a grand scale and among them one 

 can find specimens of almost any variety 

 worthy of cultivation, and as they are 

 arranged with other plants in the most 

 artistic manner, one should see them all. 



The war of carnations still goes on in 

 the Liberty Market. According to an 

 evening paper last Saturday the market 

 was crowded with flower buyers taking 

 advantage of the cheap fl.owers, as car- 

 nations were still selling two dozen for 

 25 cents and chrysanthemums 50 cents 

 per dozen. 



The writer, in his notes of October 13, 

 made mention of the dahlias John Bader 

 saw in California, and as Mr. Bader 

 takes exceptions to the size which I men- 

 tioned, 30 inches in diameter, I wish 



to correct myself. What Mr. Bader 

 really said was that he saw larger dahlias 

 in California than he has seen in this 

 country or in Europe. 



We had the first light snow flurry Sat- 

 urday, October 22. The day was one of 

 the miserable kind and had its effect 

 on business. 



Wm. Loew and Jos. Jones have opened 

 a new cut flower store on Diamond street 

 and, as they are both well known, should 

 make it a success. 



The Greeks are bobbing up here and 

 there with flower stands and I presume 

 by the time the season is really on we 

 will have enough to satisfy all demands. 



Al. Sheapard's familiar face can be 

 seen in the Liberty Flower Market stand, 

 wrapping them up in good shape. 



H. T. Miller, of Salem, 0., was one 

 of the visitors this week. Hoo-Hoo.
