The Weekly Fbrists' Review^ 



AUGDST 31, 1905. 



PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



The weather is most delightful, leav- 

 ing nothing to be wished for in that 

 line, but trade remains in that dormant 

 August state we all know well. Some- 

 one calls it the "August bridge," but 

 we are hoping now that it will not run 

 into September. The only cry seems to 

 be for white asters; pink asters are to 

 be had by the thousands, but white 

 are very scarce. 



Various Notes. 



The stragglers from the S. A. F. con- 

 vention are all home and report having 

 had a good time, with nothing but kind 

 words for the Washington and Balti- 

 more people. 



Mr. Darnell, manager of the J. M. 

 Gasser Co., who had been down in Ken- 

 tucky, visiting his parents, gave us a 

 "look in" last week. He is as ever 

 the "genial gent." 



Our five and ten-cent stores are mak- 

 ing a run on water hyacinths. Fine 

 large plants at 10 cents each. 



Harry Graves is back with Siebert 

 after spending a couple of months in 

 Canada and Michigan, where he has bot- 

 tled up enough energy to keep him go- 

 ing another year. 



Joe Byerly, of Randolph & McClem- 

 ents', is doing stunts in Indiana county. 



Karl Klinke, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., has returned from his vaca- 

 tion in New York. Hoo-Hoo. 



Those readers who send queries and 

 do not sign name or address should re- 

 member that they thereby make it impos- 

 sible that they be answered.
