PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



One would like to say something pleas- 

 ant by way of variety, but it is out of 

 the question. We are in the midst of 

 summer weather and the business is 

 regular summer business. There are 

 plenty of fine roses of all kinds and 

 Beauties in abundance. These would 

 take care of what trade there is, but 

 that would not take into consideration 

 the quantities of poorer grades of stock, 

 much of which is being lost. This not 

 only gives the wholesalers lots of work, 

 but is hard on the growers. 



Nearly all of our retailers are han- 

 dling plants, which keeps them busy 

 and they do not notice the dropping off 

 in the cut flower trade so much. 



The plantsmen seem to be doing a 

 thriving trade and getting about the 

 same prices as in other years. The 

 weather is in their favor, as there has 

 been no sign of frost for so long that 

 people commenced bedding earlier than 

 usual, which saves crowding so much into 

 one week: 



Banquet for William Hamilton. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, announcement having been made 

 of the resignation of William Hamilton 

 as superintendent of the Allegheny 

 parks, after thirty years' service, a 

 nuniber of his old friends got together 

 and arranged for a little informal sup- 

 per in his honor. Last Wednesday even- 

 ing, therefore, in a private room in the 

 McCarty cafe, William Hamilton was 

 surrounded at table by James Semple, 

 William Falconer, Fred Burki, P. S. 

 Bandolph, John Bader, Henry Negley, 

 E. C. Reineman, John Wyland, T. P. 

 Langhans, Julius Ludwig, Gustav Lud- 

 wig, E. C. Ludwig, De Forest Ludwig, 

 John Jones, W. A. Clarke, David Eraser, 

 Thomas Price, George Moore, H. Frish- 

 kom, William Loew and P. J. Demas. 



After a plentiful repast, the toast- 

 master, Mr. Falconer, in his original 

 way, called on one after another for re- 

 marks. It was found that most of those 

 present had known Mr. Hamilton from 

 thirty to fifty years and many pleasant 

 recollections were recalled, after which 

 Mr. Hamilton, who was somewhat af- 

 fected, spoke from his chair, saying 

 that he had spent almost a lifetime in 

 hie oflRce. He felt grateful that now, 

 when he desired to retire, his friends 

 should rally around him with such ex- 

 pressions of love and esteem. After all 

 had shaken hands and wished their old 

 friend many years of happiness, all went 

 to their homes feeling that there are 

 other things besides business.
