PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Extroinely hot weather, averaging 

 about 90 degrees in the shade, is not 

 calculated to make business very good, 

 on the contrary it is driving all who 

 have the price out of the city; notwith- 

 standing the heat, business is as good 

 as any other year at this season. 



Flowers are plentiful, if they are not 

 fine. Lilies, Beauties, Richmond, Kaiser- 

 ins, gladioli and asters are good, with 

 some good carnations. There are lots 

 of small roses of all kinds, for which 

 there is no demand. Asters are a glut, 

 and while the good stock is bringing 

 a fair price, the poor blooms will bring 

 nothing. 



Various Notes. 



Uncle John Wyland has gone to 

 Canada to see if he cannot round up 

 a few of the large fish stories we are 

 hearing. 



Robert Herron has joined E. C. Lud- 

 wig's force, and will be found in the 

 Allegheny Market. 



W. A. Clarke has arrived from the 

 farm and taken up his usual duties with 

 the Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. 



Faces have changed in nearly all the 

 wholesale and retail houses; the pale- 

 faced ones have gone and a lot of well- 

 tanned lads who have had their vacations 

 have taken their places. IIoo-Hoo. 



TVIN QTIES. 



The Market 



The same conditions existed the last 

 week that we had during July, with the 

 possible exception that there appeared 

 to be a heavier demand for funeral 

 work. There is practically no call for 

 cut flowers for any other use. Stock re- 

 mains scarce, and what is being brought 

 in by the growers is not good. This 

 applies especially to roses. Carnations 

 are easing up some, and some very nice 

 asters have arrived. Outdoor flowers 

 are put to good use. Gladioli are good, 

 but sell only fairly. Sweet peas are 

 not plentiful, and the quality is far 

 below that of last season.

 a handsome place by the time fall trade 

 opens. 



J. W. Hoflfman will take in the con- 

 vention at Dayton. Holm & Olson will 

 be represented by K. P. Holm, and it

The Donaldson Glass Block people, ac- 

 cording to reliable reports, contemplate 

 adding considerably to their cut flower 



department. One of the main improve- 

 ments will be a marble-front, mammoth 

 ice-box. Summer trade they report as 

 good. 



The Whitted Floral Co. is doing a 

 good business, and members of the firm 

 express great satisfaction in their move 

 to their present location, which gives 

 them plenty of room to handle their in- 

 creasing trade.
