OCTOBEB 4, 1006. 



PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



■'*^ 



Business was good all last week, not- 

 withstanding that the weather was 

 warm. Everything cleaned up nicely at 

 fair prices. This week opened with a 

 change in the weather, colder with rain. 



Asters and gladioli have disappeared. 

 Carnations still are scarce and no chrys- 

 anthemums are in bloom among our 

 local growers. Should we have a frost 

 to kill dahlias there will be some tall 

 scrambling for stock for a few days. 



Varioui Notes. 



George Blind, of Blind Bros., was 

 married Wednesday evening to Miss 

 Lillie Born, of Eenysville avenue. They 

 left for a tour of the eastern cities with 

 the congratulations of his many friends. 



A trip among the growers shows that 

 carnation plants as a rule do not look 

 quit© as good as last season. Lawsons 

 especially are looking bad. 



The Pittsburg Eose & Carnation Co. 

 is cutting heavily on Maid, Bride, Kai- 

 serin, Killarney, Richmond and Chate- 

 nay. It is the best stock they ever have 

 had at this season. 



.John Wyland has discarded all roses 

 this year, except part of a house of 

 Eichmond, confining himself to carna- 

 tions. 



Blind Bros, are cutting some fine 

 Beauties, Killarney and Eichmond. 



A. E. McCord, formerly with Blind 

 Bros., has taken the flower stand in the 

 Fifth avenue arcade. Hoo-Hoo. 



MOBILE, ALA. 



The great storm last week did great 

 damage to crops outdoors, but green- 

 house establishments escaped serious in- 

 jury, except A. F. Duplan's place at 

 George and Elmira streets, which was 

 practically destroyed. It was not a large 

 plant. C. Eavier & Sons think they got 

 off easDy with a loss of $2,500. All 

 stock in fields for hundreds of miles 

 along the Gulf coast was more or less 

 injured. The wild smilax people report 

 diflSculty in getting into the woods since 

 the storm. 



Grand Eapids, Mich. — Eli Cross has 

 opened a first-class retail store at 25 

 Monroe street.
