PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



The past week was quite strenuous 

 with most of the retailers, Randolph & 

 McClements, Mrs. E. A. Williams and A. 

 W. Smith having all thej could possibly 

 do and the other retailers coming in a 

 close second, debutantes claiming most 

 of the attention. The wholesale houees 

 have been handling large quantities of 

 chrysanthemums and such other good 

 stock as they have been able to get. On 

 the whole it has been a very satisfactory 

 week. The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 

 says it handled more chrysanthemums 

 last week than any week since it has been 

 in business, although prices have not 

 been what they should have been. 



Various Notes. 



E. C. Ludwig has been rushing things 

 in the Allegheny market. His daily show 

 of mums is worth a trip to the market 

 any time and some of the stock is finer 

 than the average show stock. 



Last Tuesday evening was club night 

 and, although it was state election night, 

 the meeting was the best and the attend- 

 ance the largest for a long time. Chrys- 

 anthemums were the topic and a beauti- 

 ful display of blooms was made. Nathan 

 Smith & Son, Adrian, Mich., showed a 

 very handsome lot and several varieties, 

 Buch as Brighthurst, Mayor Weaver, a 

 pink of the Maud Dean type; Launona, 

 white, and a new yellow without a label, 

 promise to be important additions. Chal 

 Peterson, of East Liverpool, was at the 

 meeting with his new Yellow Queen. It 

 is the exact Queen type, only yellow in 

 color and is a sport from Queen. Mr. 

 Peterson gave a practical demonstration 

 of his method of making cuttings, which 

 was interesting. A handsome collection 

 of pompons was shown by Thos. Meehan 

 & Sons, of Philadelphia, which Mr. Fal- 

 coner recommended to the growers, and 

 especially the private gardeners, as good 

 things to have, as they make a bright spot 

 in the garden when all other flowers are 

 gone. He does not grow them himself 

 for the reason that out where he is they 

 have so much smoke that by the time 

 they come into bloom they are all one 

 color in Pittsburg. 



Fred Burki displayed Eaton, white 

 and yellow; Maud Dean, Chadwick, Bon- 

 naffon. Ivory and several others which 

 on the authority of Mr. Randolph were 

 the best commercial varieties and sizes 

 shown. C. Goodwin & Sons, of Bridge- 

 ville, showed a vase of smaller stock, in- 

 cluding their Pearl, which is much like 

 Ivory and a splendid thing. 



Mr. Jenkinson had a collection of 

 blooms from pot plants which were 

 grand. His vase of carnations, with 

 stems eighteen inches long, was as fine as 

 we expect to see this season. Mr. Hatch, 

 gardener for D. McClemson, showed 

 mums which were fine, also a collection 

 of orchid blooms which were especially 

 fine and interested everyone and caused 

 some discussion as to whether Pittsburg 

 could support an orchid grower, which 

 was taken up by W. A. Clarke, who de- 

 clared without hesitation that there is a 

 market here for the right varieties. 



John Jones, of Schenley park, was 

 there with the goods fine as silk, the 

 finest varieties and blooms, but even that 

 is only part of it; you need to see John 

 handle them, and if you are observing 

 and notice the love touches and the coy 

 way he peeps into his flowers you will
