PITTSBUHG. 



The Market 



Thanksgiving week was one to be 

 remembered among the trade as the best 

 of any. Everyone was busy. Social 

 functions of all kinds seemed to be doing 

 double turn and the decorators were 

 worked almost to death. This with the 

 usual trade for Thanksgiving day, din- 

 ner-table pieces and bouquets for the 

 more modest and unpretentious made up 

 the great volume of business which was 

 done. 



There was no scarcity of flowers of 

 any kind. Violets which up to this time 

 seemed scarce, were abundant and sold 

 at from $1.25 to $1.75 per hundred. 

 Eoses were good and enough for all. 

 Carnations were more plentiful, although 

 much of the stock was not up to the 

 mark in quality. But chrysanthemums, 

 which are the principal flower for this 

 holiday, were here in such quantities as 

 were never seen before. All kinds were 

 to be had, from good and bad to worst. 

 Some of the growers sent in scraps of 

 rags which made the wholesale men blush 

 to show them, and, while good small mums 

 realized a fair price, the weak-stemmed 

 ones were sold to the sparrows or went 

 to the dump and realized almost as much 

 cash one place as the other. Among the 

 wholesale men there is a sigh of relief 

 to think the mums are over for another 

 season, as, at the prices a great deal of 

 the stock sold for this year, it did not 

 pay to pack the stock in cases where it 

 had to be shipped, tne boxes costing 

 almost as much as the stock. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has 

 bought out Fred Kuch, the wire worker, 

 who has made most of the floral designs 

 in this city, and employed the men who 

 have been doing the work for Mr. Kuch. 

 They expect to push this branch of the 

 business, and as Pittsburg has the repu- 

 tation of making the best designs in the 

 country, success is assured. 



Toni McCormack, of the Pittsburg 

 Florists' Exchange, has been wearing his 

 head done up in bandages as a result of 

 a meeting with some bad Pittsburg 

 hold-up men. 



The green goods men are getting busy 

 with moss, boxwood and laurel. Little 

 pine is to be seen so far and indications 

 are that it will be a scarce article this 



year. 



Hoo-Hoo. 



Enclosed please find $1 for another 

 year's subscription. The Eeview has 

 given us good satisfaction and we think 

 it is the best on the list.— Weber Bros.,
