The Market. 



There is not much to say about the 

 cut flower business. A few June wed- 

 dings, some commencements and a little 

 general trade manage to keep life in the 

 shops, but the business is much below 

 last year. 



The wholesale houses have Beauties, 

 lilies, phlox and sweet peas in abundance. 

 All other stock is showing the effects of 

 the hot weather. 



Qub Meeting. 



Thfe Pittsburg Florists ' Club met June 

 9 with a good attendance. The subject 

 scheduled was "Hardy Boses and Peo- 

 nies, ' ' but the meeting was one week too 

 late for these, the early season bringing 

 them on so early that a poor show re- 

 sulted. The club, however, awarded the 

 following prizes to private gardeners: 

 W. C. Madson, gardener for B. H. Boggs, 

 first on roses and peonies; Eobert Lilley, 

 gardener for Mr. Barnsdol, second on 

 roses. 



There were some other exhibits of flow- 

 ers which helped out the show, such as 

 digitalis, columbine, delphinium, Spanish 

 iris and a number of other things, all 

 good. 



The club decided to hold the annual 

 outing as a basket picnic, Thursday, June 

 25, at the Crystal Farm, Bakerstown, Pa., 

 the home of the Pittsburg Bose and Car- 

 nation Co. There were many who de- 

 sired to visit this, the largest plant of 

 the kind in western Pennsylvania, and 

 thought they might combine this trip with 



PANSY 



Famous Strains of Mam- 

 moth Mixed Pansies 



S. & W. Co.'s Non Pius Uitra 



Our Non Plus Ultra Pansy is a mixture con- 

 taining the largest, handsomest, most perfect 

 varieties ever sent out. The beautiful coloring 

 and variety of marking give a bed of these pan- 

 sies a most brilliant appearance. The seed hav- 

 ing been saved from the greatest assortment of 

 types, including only the best of Qiant Cassiers, 

 Bugnots, Trimardeaux and Giant English, 

 French and German strains. Finest mixed, per 

 trade pkt., 25c.; per ^4 oz., $1M; per oz., $5.00. 



Worid's Best Mixture 



This mixture is the result of careful selection, 

 from the very largest and finest pansies, of all 

 the varieties; and we can safely say that a bet- 

 ter or finer strain it is impossible to get. Per 

 trade pkt.. 50c.; per 1000 seeds, $1.25; per 

 5000 seeds, $5.00. 



Very Large Fiowering Varieties 



These are remarkably large Pansies, 

 which, for size of flowers and robust growth, 

 eclipse all other strains. Their range of 

 color has heretofore been limited, but this 

 reason we are able to offer several grand 

 new varieties. Tr. pkt. H oz. oz.
