PITTSBUHG. 



The Market 



The first week of October was quite 

 satisfactory to all concerned. Every one 

 was busy and several retailers have been 

 hunting extra men. Stock of all kinds 

 is coming in strong, plenty of everything 

 and almost everything very good; chrys- 

 anthemums and roses abundant and car- 

 nations better every day. The horse show 

 takes place this week and many of the 

 retailers have good orders. 



Various Notes. 



Some years ago Neville island was the 

 truck garden for Pittsburg, but things 

 have changed of late years, for the soil 

 is being ruined by the many oil wells 

 which have been put down. A number 

 of blast furnaces along the river cover 

 everything with smoke and ore dust, and 

 it is only a question of a short time un- 

 til the island gardens will be a thing of 

 the past. 



Geo. Burke, 9ftperinteiiilent VJf^'Sdhen- 

 ley park, and Johii Jones, his able as- 

 sistant, are getting the Schenley park 

 mum show in shape and by next Sunday 

 the crowds at this conservatory will 

 again require a good squad of police to 

 handle them. 



Club Meetine. 



The Florists* Club had quite an in- 

 teresting meeting October 3. There were 

 quite a variety of subjects discussed. 

 Thos. Meehan & Sons sent a fine exhibit 

 of fall blooming herbaceous stuflP and 

 H. A. Dreer sent dahlias, hardy asters, 

 tritomas, besides a number of other in- 

 teresting things, all of which were taken 

 up and discussed separately, to the bene- 

 fit of all. Henry Frishkorn, with W. C. 

 Beckert, the Allegheny seedsman, at the 

 request of the club made an exhibit of 

 bulbs on which he gave the members a 

 most interesting talk. The varied suc- 

 cess which many of the members have 

 had in the past caused considerable com- 

 ment, but it was conceded by some of 

 the growers that at least a part of the 

 failure was due to bad management in 

 the growing end, and some wh(f have 

 don& their own importing admitted that 

 they frequently accepted stock shipped

W. A. Clarke, of the Pittsburg Cut 

 Flower Co., exhibited hand and pyramid 

 bouquets made in the style in vogue at 

 his entrance into the business about 

 thirty years ago, which caused consider- 

 able amusement for the young men. In 

 all it was a very profitable evening. 



Mr. Moore, of Allegheny park con- 

 servatories, had a handsome exhibit of 

 fancy-leaved caladiums, which attracted 

 a good deal of attention at this late sea- 

 son. It is wonderful how the boys help
