PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



« Business has shown great improve- 

 ment the last week, but prices are not 

 what they should be. The weather was 

 exceedingly warm the latter part of last 

 week and sent a great deal of the bulb- 

 ous stock, which was intended for East- 

 er, into the market, and the result was 

 low prices and lots of stock lost. Eoses 

 and carnations cleaned up nicely at fair 

 prices. The extreme heat brought in 

 lots of bad violets and has caused great 

 anxiety for the Easter stock. 



An unusual number of large funerals 

 last week gave the retailers plenty of 

 work and helped them to make a good 

 showing. 



Various Notes. 



Beport from Wheeling, W. Va., says 

 L. A. Smith and Zane & Sons, of the 

 island, lost everything in the plant line, 

 including all the bulbous stock intended 

 for Easter, the water in most cases cov- 

 ering the plants entirely. 



Arthur Langnans' home was flooded, 

 and while he was trying to get his wife 

 out of the second-story window into a 

 boat, word came to him that his store 

 was on fire. As soon as possible he got 

 there and found the fire had been put 

 out without much loss, but there was 

 about one foot of water in the store. 

 Excepting the inconvenience and the ex- 

 pense of cleaning up, his loss was not 

 heavy. The loss to the plantsmen, how- 

 ever, will run into thousands of dol- 

 lars, for, after standing in cold water 

 forty-eight hours, when the water went 

 down everything was covered with mud. 



The prospects are for a good Easter 

 and, should the weather continue warm, 

 there is not the least doubt but next 

 week we will be able to report the best 

 trade we ever had. Hoo-Hoo. 



Dickson, Tenn. — Frank Curry, an ex- 

 perienced gardener and florist, has pur- 

 chased five acres of ground in the Hel- 

 burg addition and will erect a green- 

 liouse. He will grow flowering plants, 

 shrubs, vegetables, etc. 



Dayton, Ohio. — The Dayton Florists' 

 Club held its annual meeting Thursday 

 evening, March 14. The following offi- 

 cers were elected: President, Geo. Bar- 

 tholomew; vice-president, F. W. Bitter;

MABELLE 



NKW PINK CARNATION FOR 1907 



Color— A peculiar shade of lovely pink, with a 

 faint yellowish cast; several shades lighter than the Law- 

 son. Unlike most pinks, the brightest sun does not 

 injure the color. Slae— 3 to 4 inches in diameter when 

 established. Odor — Pleasing, but not strong. 

 Steins— Invariably strong, but always graceful, rang- 

 ing from 13 to 30 inches during the season. Habit, 

 •to.— A very quick, active grower, making specimen 

 plants in a short time, even from late cuttings. On ac- 

 count of its rapid growth, requires supporting very 

 soon after benching. Gets away rapidly, blooms early 

 and gives long stems ri^ht from the start. Prodnot* 

 iTeneas— Prodigious is the best word we know of to 

 use here. It is the most incessant bloomer, early and 

 late, we have ever grown. Stock limited. No discount. 

 Price 112.00 per 100; 1100.00 per 1000.
