A GOOD BOSTON SELLS BEST 



A Boston Fern in name is not always a Boston 

 Fern in quality. Our prices mean quality. Well

PITTSBUHG. 



The Market 



There has been quite an improvement 

 in business the past week, and the dark 

 weather shortened up stock considerably, 

 the result being that prices have stiff- 

 ened. Eoses and carnations have im- 

 proved in quality. Many of the Beauties 

 coming in are cut so tight that they 

 do not amount to much. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are finer every day and stock has 

 been cleaning up nicely at very reason- 

 able prices. Up to the present there has 

 been very little stock sold at the fancy 

 prices of former years. Some very fine 

 violets are coming in from the Hudson 

 river district, and find ready sale at fair 

 prices. 



Various Notes. 



The war of the Greeks is now going 

 on between the rival stands on Fifth ave- 

 nue. One is in the Arcade with a stand 

 outside; the other is a street stand with 

 a case right against the Arcade stand. 

 The Arcade man fills his stand,with rub- 

 bish and over it places this sigff: * * No 

 fresh flowers sold outside ; fresh stock 

 in the Arcade." This sign is made very 

 [■rcmincnt, but the street man puts up 

 liifc sign almost close enough to touch the 

 olher sign: "No fresh flowers sell in- 

 side; fresh flowers outside. We retail at 

 wholesale prices." 



The Schenley park show was opened 

 Sunday, and the day being fine, immense 

 crowds attended. The arrangement is 

 very artistic. 



Wm. P. Craig, of Philadelphia, was in 

 the city the past week, booking orders 

 for palms, etc. He had his bride with 

 him. 



Bandolph & McClements had one of 

 the largest wedding decorations of the 

 season for Miss Sorg and Captain Druil- 

 lard, U. S. A. They chartered an Adams 

 Elxpress car in which they hauled their 

 pulms, flowers and other paraphernalia 

 for the purpose. Mr. McClements super- 

 intended the work, assisted by Fitzsim- 

 mons, Wilson and Crosby to arrange the 

 flowers and a couple of their plantsmen 

 tc. arrange plant decorations. 



A. W. Smith had charge of the Painter 

 wedding Monday, which was one of the 

 large weddings of the year. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



I HAVE been well pleased with the 

 RBViEvir and wish it great success; here 

 is another dollar. — W. C. Brooke, Chevy 

 Chase, Md.
