The Market 



July has been as slow as any one 

 could wish, and it is just as well it is 

 so, for outside of Beauties and Kaiserins 

 there is nothing good to be had in roses, 

 all other stock being very summery 

 looking. The retailers are doing nothing 

 outside of crapes and funeral decora- 

 tions and the wholesale houses have a 

 hard time to supply enough good stock 

 for this. Carnations are scarce and very 

 poor and asters will be welcomed when 

 they arrive. The growers have all 

 dropped asters as greenhouse flowers 

 and we miss them very much this sea- 

 son ; but for several years they would 

 not bring a living price. There are 

 quantities of shipped sweet peas coming 

 in, and in nearly every case they arrive 

 so soft and poor, that most of them 

 find their way to the garbage box. 



Vaiiouf Note*. 



During the last week a number of 

 the boys from the shops and wholesale 

 houses have gone on their vacations, 

 and this will continue from now on until 

 all have had their annual two weeks ' 

 rest. 



J. F. Poague, of Washington, Pa., has 

 just returned from a two weeks ' trip to 

 Cincinnati, Ohio. 



Miss A. L. Wells, of Steubenville, O., 

 has returned after a six months' trip 

 abroad. 



Ed. Leitzmann, of Latrobe, Pa., sailed 

 Monday on a trip to the old country. 



J. N. Spanabel, of East Palestine, O., 

 was a visitor last week. 



Randolph & McClements will vacate 

 their Schenley Park greenhouses about 

 August 1. when that property will be 

 used as a park entrance. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has ar- 

 ranged with Frank Banning to handle 

 his cut of gladioli in this city; this 

 will include his Eeuben H. Warde. 



Miss Clara B. Forbes, who has been 

 managing the Wheeling Greenhouse 

 Co. 's store in Wheeling, has sev- 

 ered her connection with that firm and 

 is now making arrangements to open 

 a new flower shop there. It will be up- 

 to-date in every respect. Miss Forbes is 

 one of the energetic people, who never 

 fails to succeed in anything she takes 

 hold of, and her many friends are wish- 

 ing her her usual success in the new 

 venture. 



The annual outing of the club took 

 place July 10. It was the usual boat ex- 

 cursion and everybody had a good time.
