New Double Petunia THE QUEEN 



The new Petunia THE QUEEN has been grown by us for the past five years. It is a 

 wonderful bloomer, the flowers are of an enormous size and measure from four to four and 

 one-half inches in diameter. The flowers are white, mingled with purple, very nicely fringed, 

 making one of the handsomest plants grown. It is an early bloomer, in fact, one of the best 

 sellers for Decoration Day. THE QUEEN9 planted outdoors will continue to bloom all 

 summer. The flowers can be used to good advantage in design work. 



Strone Plants, from 2>^-lncb pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $90.00 per fOOO. 

 Nice, strons rooted cuttlnca, $5.00 per 100. Tbey will make 4-ln. plants full of bloom for Decoration Day.

PITTSBURG. 



The Flood Sufferers. 



Tlic t('rril)lo Hood, wliicli hwcpt ovor 

 our city Ijist Aveek ami caused uiillions 

 of dollars' dainayc, did not iicylcct tiio 

 florists. 



Mrs. K. A. Williams had just iinishetl 

 [lultiujr her shop in its best sha[)(' for 

 Kastcr when the Hood came and there 

 was iive feet of water in the .store. 

 .Most of the fiirnishiiijis will be de- 

 stroyed and telephone seryice is out of 

 (•ommission at this writing. 



1j. I. Ncff was another sutt'erer, with 

 altout three feet of water in his store. 

 JIo will have losses on fixtures, besides 

 a (luaiitity of see<ls he was unal)l(' to 

 get out. 



In the store of lilind Bros, there was 

 Avater as higii as the counter and, while 

 they were able to get most of the stock 

 out of the water, their ice-boxes ;nid 

 fixtures will all have to l)e refinished. 



A. M. Murdoch found about three 

 feet of water in his work-room, which 

 is in the basement. As the water was 

 ne\('r known to reach so far u|)lowii he 

 ha<l not made any ])reparations for it 

 an<l «o suff«»red some losses. 



Several inches of water covered the 

 floor of the Pittsburg Florists' Kx- 

 i'liange, but it was soon out and tlid not 

 <lo much damage. 



.1. H. Murdoch & Co., while not dam- 

 aged l)y water, were surroiuided by the 

 flo(»<l and could not do business. 



The sub-cellar of the Pittsl>urg Cut 

 Klower Co. was filled with water, wliich 

 causeil considerable extra work getting 

 out stock which was stored there. There 

 also was ditticulty getting in Howers to 

 take care of the trade. The Pittsburg 

 Hose and Carnation Co. was tied up, as 

 far as railroad servi<e was concerned, 

 but loaded its stock on wagons and 

 drove the twenty miles, ]iart of it 

 through water, but many of the grow- 

 ers couhl not do this, as they were en- 

 tirely cut of!'. 



Theixlore F. Heckert, on Neville Is- 

 lan<l, was surrounded by water and, it 

 is believe<l, he must liave had heavy 

 los!4es; ])ut, as there is no telephone 

 connection, no j>ositive information can 

 be had. 



One of the worst results of the flood 

 hits been the ruining of all the under- 

 ground telephone wires in the lower end 

 of the city, and the wholesale houses 

 are the worst sufferers, as most of their 

 busiiu'ss in and out of the city was by 

 telephone. ' Hoo-Hoo.
