PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



One finds a more cheerful condition in 

 looking over the trade the past week. 

 There is a general improvement all along 

 the line and the retailers say that they 

 look for an exceptionally good season, as 

 they already have orders booked up into 

 November. Good stock of all kinds finds 

 ready sale. Lilies are very scarce. Car- 

 nations are beginning to come in from 

 the young plants, and find good sale. 

 Asters still hold their own and will do 

 so until we get a frost. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Mrs. Schmucker, of Liberty avenue, is 

 building a small house in the rear of 

 her store, which adds a great deal to the 

 appearance of her place, 



Thursday, September 14, was the date 

 of the first light frost in this section, 

 but it did no damage. 



John H. Tasker, manager of the Wal- 

 ton Co., of Eice's Landing, was a visi- 

 tor this week. They grow plants and 

 vegetables and also do cut flower work. 



Last week was L, 1. Neff's bad week. 

 His drivers managed to put three wagons 

 out of business by turning them upside- 

 down and otherwise; loss about $75. 



The fairs attracted some of the boys 

 last Thursday, T. P. Langhans, George 

 and Edward Blind took in the one at 

 Wheeling, W, Va. 



Carrick mentions Wm, Lauch as hav- 

 ing moved his establishment to Roches- 

 ter, N, Y, It should have been New 

 Galilee, Pa, 



J. J, Fuchs is completing a conserva- 

 tory in the rear of his Carson street 

 store. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. is mak- 

 ing a fine show of Beauties and Kaiser- 

 ins. 



One cannot understand why the aster 

 -growers continue from year to year 

 growing that dirty magenta pink aster 

 so much in evidence just now, as it is 

 only salable when no other pink can be 

 had. 



Mr. and Mrs, Martin Lustick, of Wash- 

 ington, Pa., and Miss Margaret Schnei- 

 der, of Johnstown, Pa., were visitors last 

 week. 



Howard Carney, of J, B. Murdoch & 

 Co., reports fall trade starting in nicely. 



The Florists' Exchange is making 

 preparations for a busy winter, 



Hoo-Hoo, 



FoET Smith, Aek. — The lady man- 

 agers of Belle Point Hospital will have 

 their annual flower show November 8 to 

 11. A. A. Pantet has been appointed 

 manager for the third time.
