PITTSBUBG. 



The Market 



Eaater morning found the most tired 

 lot of boys in the flower shops this city 

 has ever seen — and they had good cause 

 to be tired. Notwithstanding that the 

 "weather was against us, nearly every 

 shop in the city cleaned up fairly well 

 and all declare it the best Easter to date. 



Undoubtedly plants are growing in 

 favor with each year, and with good rea- 

 son, for you can sell a plant for $2 to 

 $5 that is not only effective and beauti- 

 ful, but will keep and look well for sev- 

 eral days, and the regular flower buyers 

 know this and profit by their knowledge. 

 However, it does not seem to affect the 

 cut flower business, as there are a great 

 number of people who do not belong to 

 the class of regular flower buyers, but 

 always show up at the holiday time with 

 a handful of cards and addresses to 

 which they wish to send the offering of 

 the season. 



The weather was bad for the growers 

 until two days before Easter, the result 

 being a good deal of stock came in late 

 Saturday, after the trade had been sup- 

 plied, but nearly everything cleaned up. 

 Prices were reasonable, nothing being 

 what you would call high. Bulbous stock 

 did not seem to find much favor, except 

 in pots or pans, and is largely dropping 

 out as cut flowers. Violets were very 

 fine and cheap, and immense quantities 

 of them were sold. 



There were a great many green hy- 

 drangeas in evidence and they were still 

 on hand Monday; plants must have color 

 to sell. 



Again the trade is indebted to the ex- 

 press companies for the promptness with 

 which they handled stock. The Adams 

 detailed several men to the florists' ship- 

 ments. 



The retail stores never had as good 

 effects in plant baskets as this year, and 

 they were well repaid for the trouble, as 

 all were sold. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams had the decoration 

 for the Knights Templar reception at 

 Duquesne Gardens, April 17. This was 

 one of the largest affairs held in this 

 city this year, and the boys were pretty 

 tired when they started in on the decora- 

 tions Sunday, but no doubt did them- 

 selves justice. They also had a large 

 wedding for the same day. Hoo-Hoo.
