PITTSBURG. 



' The Market. - 



ExtJiJHBly hot weather last week did 

 not ha\<^ H good effect on trade. Stock 

 was plentiful, but small buyers -were uot- 

 in (Evidence. However, the shop men 

 were all in good humor and rejiort more 

 advance orders for the late fall and early 

 winter than they had last year for the 

 same time, and the prediction is for a 

 good year. Among the wholesalers there 

 was f some complaint of shipped stock 

 coming in slu)wing the effects of the 

 heat. Koses from young stock are com- 

 ing in heavier every day, but. having 

 short stems, do not amount to much. 

 There were quantities of light pink asters 

 with short stems, which were no^t in de- 

 mand, but good white, which were want- 

 ed, \fere scarce. Lilies also have dropped 

 out of sight. Gladioli are still coming 

 in large quantities and dahlias are get- 

 ting better every day. 



( Various Notes. 



Disgruntled growers are now iWidiug 

 to whom they will consign, and the 

 houses depending on them are beginning 

 to know where they are and the minds 

 of the commission men are beiiig re- 

 lieved. 



TTie ordinance officers have kept the 

 -street men in hot water the last few 

 flays, as they are not allowed to put any? 

 thing on the sidewalk, thus being pre- 

 vented from making the usual show. 



At a stockholders' meeting of the 

 Amuse U Co.. of which L. 1. Neff is 

 president, their books matle a showing 

 which would have tempted almost any 

 '^florist to go into the amusement busi- 

 iless. 



Mr. Holmes has joined Mrs. E, A. Wil- 

 liams ' force of decorators; the advance 

 orders which they have now booked made 

 .help a necessity, 



Jarve Smith has been down looking 

 iover his farm and arranging things for 

 •winter. He has been successful wiJi his 

 summer flowers and has managed to keep 

 fl, succession of blooming stock, all of 

 ♦which has been good. 



' Ernest Zieger is" luistling now to get 

 his large house in shape in order to get 

 i^f his decorative plants in time to take 

 care of his early orders. His storeroom 

 is almost completed. 



,Mr. and Mrs. W. A, Turner, of Wil- 

 kinsburg, have a son. 



Burglars tried to enter the home of 

 Will Flemm, of Breitenstein & Elemm, 

 Sunday night, but were not successful. 

 About a year ago they touclied him for 

 "several hundred dollars and jirobably 

 thought he might have saved u]> another 

 roll by now. 



John Wyland has constructed a large 

 lish-pond on his place, on which he sj)ends 

 •his leisure time in a canoe of the latest 

 pattern. Mr. Wyland reports his stock 

 as being in better shape than ever this 

 season. Ho<i-Hoo.
