PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



Business the past week has been very 

 good. Thanksgiving has come and gone 

 and most of the retail stores as weU as 

 many of the market people report an 

 increase over last year's business. 

 Among the wholesalers, most of them 

 were left with large quantities of car- 

 nations on hand. We understand fine 

 stock could have been bought Wednes- 

 day evening at $15 per thousand. White 

 carnations, which were very scarce for 

 the ten days preceding Tuesday, were 



very much in evidence for Thanksgiving, 

 but the trouble was there is never mudi 

 call for white for any holiday. The 

 Pittsburg Cut Flower Ck). had an im- 

 mense stock of chrysanthemums, which 

 they cleaned up nicely. They report 

 most of their growers entirely cut out 

 and expect the coming week to clean 

 them up for this year. 



The general report of increased sales 

 is somewhat surprising in the face of 

 the fact that almost all stock sold 

 cheaper than ever before at this time 

 of the year. The street merchants sold 

 carnations as cheap as 25 cents per 

 dozen. 



Various Notes. 



Now that the mum season is about 

 over it might be valuable information 

 for the growers to know that the de- 

 mand this year has been for good chrys- 

 anthemums of medium size. The ver- 

 dict of all the retailers is that people, 

 without regard to their means, prefer 

 the smaller flowers for their own use. 

 Of course there wiH always be a limited 

 demand for the show blooms and larger 

 flowers, but for several years the patrons 

 have shown their preference for blooms 

 that retail at $1 to |2 per dozen. 



Lincoln I. Neff received a large 

 funeral order Thursday afternoon which 

 kept him busy all night and sent him 



shopping. „ _.. i.- 



J. B. Murdoch & Co. report a satis- 

 factory Thanksgiving business on all 

 lines except carnations. 



P. J Demas, of the Exchange, got 

 ^ck from Chicago Wednesday morning 

 % time to give the boys a hand with 

 their Thanksgiving rush. 



The committee having charge ot the 

 smoker to be given by the Flonste 

 Club suggests that it will be a goo<l 

 night for the boys to pay their dues; 

 they will have the secretary there ready 

 to receive same, and they expect to give 

 vou full value for your money the same 

 night. Don't miss the smoker, there 

 are to be "large doin's.'' 



Chas. T. Siebert, who has been very 

 ill for some time, was down town Sat- 

 urday, the first time for several months. 

 Notwithstanding that he is far from 

 being a well man, yet he has the same 

 Zilf and kind word for everyone and 

 ^ only the bright side of everything. 

 We wish there were more of mm. 



M C Dunlevy, carnation grower of 

 CaJn'egie, has been very busy the pajt

The Gardeners' and Florists' Society 

 held a very successful flower show No- 

 vember 15^and 16. The exhibition wa. 

 much the largest ever staged i^ this oty 

 and the attendance very satisfactory. 

 Among the principal exhibitors were Mrs. 

 F F. Thompson, Alex. Ogilvie, Jos. Jones 

 and E. H. McKerr, the latter taking most 

 of the premiums for carnations. Mr. 

 Ogilvie made nearly a clean sweep of the 

 classes for cut blooms of chrysanthemums, 

 his varieties being mostly the Wells- 

 Pockett set sent out last season. 



An error occurred in a recent adver- 

 tisement of the Summerfield Floral Co., 

 the address being given as Summerfield, 

 Mo., instead of Springfield, Mo. This 

 has been called to our attention by sev- 

 eral parties who vn-ote to that address 

 only to have their letters returned by th« 

 postoflSce.
