PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



The general trade has besn very good 

 the past week. Stock of all kinds has 

 been plentiful, except carnations, which 

 continued scarce all week. Sunday be- 

 ing Palm Sunday made a special demand 

 for flowers Saturday for church use. 



Various Notes. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams made good use of 

 her large show-window by making a 

 very handsome display of lilac, azaleas, 

 rhododendrons and ferns the past week. 



Geddis & Blind Bros, had a very hand- 

 some window Saturday, of Easter plants 

 with a basket of yellow Spanish iris as 

 the central piece. 



The Pittsburg Floral Co. is the name 

 of a new concern which has opened at 

 the corner of Fifth avenue and Liberty 

 street, to take care of the plant business 

 for Easter. They have secured a very 

 handsome corner store and should do a 

 good Easter business. 



We have had enough variety of weath- 

 er to satisfy anyone, even for April. 

 However, the dark, cool weather has 

 helped some of the plantsmen to hold 

 stock which otherwise would have been 

 too far advanced. 



The ice chamber in the large box of 

 J. B. Murdoch & Co. caved in Saturday 

 morning, dropping about a ton and a 

 half of ice among a lot of lilies and 

 other stock, causing considerable loss be- 

 sides inconvenience. 



A letter from Ben Elliott, at Los An- 

 geles, Cal., informs us that he has just 

 arrived there and that he is well. The 

 climate is grand about this lime, but be- 

 tween the lines we read that Pittsburg 

 is God's country to Ben. 



A trip to the Allegheny Market at 

 this season is as good as visiting a flow- 

 er show. The boys over there make a 

 display that would be a credit to any 

 city. When you talk about nerve, ener- 

 gy and push you are talking about those 

 Allegheny boys and they do the business 

 they deserve. 



Randolph & McClements have a grand 

 display of everything one can think of 

 in Easter plants. Mr. McClements' trip 

 east was not for nothing; they have 

 many Easter novelties in baskets for 

 plants which are very attractive.

age to the A. W. Smith houses, one 

 would not believe it when they see the 

 large loads of grand azaleas, cinerarias, 

 and other blooming plants they are 

 bringing in every day. Their store is 

 simply a bower of beauty. 



Breitenstein & Flemm are making 

 good use of their handsome show- 

 windows these days with original ar- 

 rangements of plants. Don't think that 

 original is the wrong word; you will al- 

 ways see something original where Mr. 

 Breitenstein has a hand in it. 



L. I. Neff manages to make use of all 

 the stock from his Aspinwall and new 

 Cheswick greenhouses. His four stores 

 are filled with handsomely arranged pans 

 of tulips, hyacinths and other nice 



things which are coming in just right 

 for Easter. The wonder is how Mr. 

 Neflf can look after his many interests 

 and still have time for a social chat, but 

 he says it is easy; have a good system, 

 hire good men, and pay them all they 

 can possibly earn, and you will make 

 money and not be killed with worry ■ 

 either. 



Theodore P. Langhans, of the Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co., has the sincere 

 sympathy of his many friends in the 

 loss of his father, who was known to 

 most of the trade and loved by all for 

 his kindly disposition. 



Arthur Langhans, of Wheeling, W. 

 Va., has been in the city attending the 

 funeral of his father. Hoo-Hoo.
