PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



While trade is about the same as last 

 year, the making ready for the holidays 

 gives the retailers about all they can 

 do. There is nothing much new among 

 the stores; the same old wreaths made 

 in the same old way, holly, mistletoe and 

 wreathing. Green goods have been , sell- 

 ing better than usual up to this time, 

 probably because everything has been 

 white with snow the last two weeks. 



At the Stores. 



The stores are looking very pretty, 

 with their variety of palms, ferns, Pros- 

 erpine tulips in pans, and poinsettias, 

 which are used in boxes and pans, 



Breitenstein & Flemm are using some 

 very pretty Boman garlands, made of red 

 immortelles and bo;x-wood, which are very 

 effective. 



L. I. Neff has one red window, immor- 

 telle bells, pans of Proserpine tulips and 

 poinsettias, which holds the crowd. 



A. W. Smith has a great show of bas- 

 kets of artificial fruit, immortelle and 

 arilibciar wreaths and baskets, which are 

 quite out of the ordinary. 



Mre. E. A. Williams' store is a bower 

 'i|4*eiuty.* While there is nothing really 

 newyjjttiii '.her arrangement of plants, 

 bells, gredrls, etc., makes it so attractive 

 one.;alltiost feels they are something new. 

 The window is most artistically arranged 

 with baskets and hampers of Begonia 

 Qloire de Lorraine, tied with pink rib- 

 bons." She certainly keeps the crowd on 

 her sidewalk. 



^' Various Notes. 



UiQlxd^ Swarthout, of Washington, Pa., 

 has qi^posed of his stock and leased 

 his hfltises and store to Jos. Seaman & 

 CoJy who will continue the business. Mr. 

 Swarthout has built up a large business 

 and leaves it to enter another line. The 

 trade wish him success wherever he may 

 go. 



Patrick Maier, who is the bulb grower 

 of this section, will have Proserpine tu- 

 lips in pans, which are in fine shape for 

 Christmas. , 



B. L. Elliott is thinking of disposing 

 of his greenhouses and entering actively 

 into another business in which he iq in- 

 terested. 



The boys in the retail stores are all 

 writing with Pittsburg Cut Flower Com- 

 pany's pencils; if you didn't get jours, 

 you should call them up. This was writ- 

 ten with one". ' 



Great carloads of Christmas trees are 

 'being hfffffllea By the cdmnussion inen^ in 

 the produce yards as well as holly, both 

 in case and wreaths. 



A. W. Smith has a grand lot of Har- 

 risii and poinsettias just in shape for the 

 holidays. 



Carnations, which were out of sight in 

 price Saturday and Monday, took an aw- 

 ful tumble before the middle of last 

 week. Hoo-Hoo.

 the nursery business at Virden, HI., wHl 

 shortly retire. 



The Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, Orono, Me., has just published 

 a valuable bulletin on the brown- tail and 

 other moths, with methods of control. 



The principal nurseries have pretty 

 good quantities of stock in their storage 

 houses but much of it is smaller than 

 they would like, because of a season of 

 only moderate growth following a very 

 poor season indeed. 



M. Crawford, Cuyahoga Falls, O., has 

 issued a pamphlet on the ' ' Pedigree Ques- 

 tion," as applied to strawberries, which 

 he will send free to any interested par- 

 ties who apply for it. 



The executive committee of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Park Superintendents 

 will meet at Springfield, Mass., January 

 18. The principal business will be the 

 selection of a city for the annual con- 

 vention. Buffalo, Niagara Falls and 

 Bochester are candidates. 



The horticultural press in England is 

 greatly exercised by the fact that great 

 quantities of American apples are ar- 

 riving at Liverpool and finding a mar- 

 ket, although England had herself a very 

 heavy crop in 1904 and much of the fruit 

 fails to find a profitable market. 



J. W. KtTNCAN, sectetary of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Park .Superinten- 

 dents, formerly the Associatini of New 

 England Park Superintendents, calls at- 

 tention to the fact that the periodical bul- 

 letins of his organization are entirely 

 .listinct from "Items of Park News" 

 of the Park Department of the .Ameri- 

 can Civic Association.
