I WOULD say that many of the ar- 

 ticles in the Review are of great value, 

 to me and I would not feel that I 

 could do without it were the Subscrip-

PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Business on the whole was all right for 

 the commission men the past week, but 

 in a retail way it was not all it should 

 have been. There were a number of good 

 decorations, which used up a quantity of 

 stock, but small trade seems to be hold- 

 ing back. Chrysanthemums are cleaning 

 up much better than for several years, 

 which is saying a good deal considering 

 the quantity coming in, with prices aver- 

 aging just a little better than last sea- 

 son. 



Variotis Notes. 



Sunday was perfection for a fall day 

 and all roads seemed to lead to the mum 

 shows. Another of our Pittsburg mil- 

 lionaires, A. E. Peacock, opened his con- 

 servatory to the public. His houses con- 

 tain mums, carnations, palms and ferns. 

 It is said that there were 25,000 visitors 

 at the Schenley park show, and not less 

 than 10,000 at Allegheny park, while a 

 constant stream of visitors took ad- 

 vantage of H. C. Prick's open houses. 

 It is expected that this will have its ef- 

 fect on business the coming week, as 

 people cannot look at such shows with- 

 out wanting to possess flowers. 



Patrick Maier is sending the Pittsburg 

 Cut Flower Co. Paper Whites and Ro- 

 mans, the first of the season. 



Gustav & J. W, Ludwig are making a 

 grand display of mums on their stand 

 in the Allegheny Market. They' are 

 among the pioneers in the business, as 

 they started about twenty-eight years 

 ago and are still as energetic as begin- 

 ners. They get their fair share of every- 

 thing that is abroad. 



Randolph & McClements had a very 

 novel decoration for Halloween, using 

 large quantities of corn stalks, corn in 

 the husk, autumn leaves, pumpkins, wired 

 masks for light shades, the proverbial 

 witch, and all arranged to make appro- 

 priate and beautiful decorations for the 

 night. 



The Washington Floral Co. are send- 

 ing in some fine mums, among them some 

 very fine Cheltoni, which were the finest 

 yellow seen this year. 



The Cut Flower Co. is receiving some 

 of the new white carnation, Fred Burki, 

 which they report as selling on sight. 



Mrs. Schmucker, 4709 Liberty avenue, 

 is the latest to open a cut flower store. 

 As there is no one within a mile or more 

 of her, she should do all right. 



Among the visitors this week were 

 Wm. Schrader, Johnstown, Pa., and 

 Martin Reukauf, Philadelphia. 



Tuesday night is meeting night for the 

 Florists' Club, when mums will be the 

 order of the day. Everyone is invited 

 to bring a few blooms. 



The bowlers met Friday night and it 

 is said they are getting good. 



Howard Carney, of J. B. Murdoch & 

 Co., will take unto himself a wife this 

 coming week. Hoo-Hoo. 



BEST IN ORCULATION. 



Enclosed find check to cover bill. Had 

 very good success; sold out everything 

 advertised. You have the best adver- 

 tising medium and all-around florists' 

 paper in circulation; anything else I 

 have you will do the job. Geo. Milnb.
