PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



We have spent the week in the throes 

 of a blizzard and have experienced the 

 coldest weather of the winter, the ther- 

 mometer dropping to 7 degrees below 

 zero, still I have not heard of any dam- 

 age to any of the greenhouses in this 

 vicinity. While some found a shortage. 

 of gas, they were in shape to help out 

 with coal. However, the retail dealers 

 suffered, as part of the weak was too 

 eold for people to get out and materially 

 affected trade. Among the wholesalers 

 there did not seem to l^ much complaint 

 and very little stock came in frozen, 

 which reflects credit on our express 

 agents, who are now giving the florists 

 more consideration and attention than 

 ever before. At the Union station, 

 Adams Express Agent Hiner, has one 

 man whose duty it is to get the flowers 

 from among the other freight and see to 

 their immediate delivery. Quite fre- 

 quently we see boxes wrrapped in blan- 

 kets while being hauled to their destina- 

 tion. 



Various Notes. 



Ed. McCallum, of the Florists' Ex- 

 change, got back to work Friday after 

 a ten days' siege of grippe. 



J. S. Salmons, of the Washington 

 Floral Co., is consigning the Pittsburg 

 Cut Flower Co. some very fine Maids, 

 Brides and Meteors. M. C. Dunlevy

Samuel MlcClements, of Randolph & 

 McClements, and Karl Klinke, book-

 Philadelphia, has taken a position as 

 gardener with Mrs. E. A. Williams.

 Beukauf and B. Eschner, Philadelphia,

 McCarthy & Co. the Board of Appraiser?

 factures of willow. 



BiiOOMSBTJRQ, Pa. — J. L. Dillon was 

 80 well pleased with Carnation Crisis, 

 raised by Davis Bros., that he bought 

 about one-third of the stock plants last 

 seaBon. Both Messrs. Davis and Dillon
