PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The flower trade is quiet, with lots 

 of good roses, Beauties, lilies, gladioli 

 and asters for anyone who wants them, 

 but not much demand. Business is dull 

 among both wholesalers and retailers. 



Various Notes. 



From present indications, a large dele- 

 gation from Pittsburg will attend the 

 S. A. P. convention at Niagara Falls. 

 Quite a number of ladies will be in the 

 party. The transportation committee has 

 arranged with the P. & L. E. R. R. for 

 an observation car on the Buffalo Lim- 

 ited, which leaves Pittsburg at 10 a. m., 

 city time, arriving at Niagara Falls at 



5 p. m. The rate is $7.50 for the round 

 trip; parlor car seat, $1.25. Those in- 

 tending to go with the party should get 

 into communication with the committee 

 before August 12 and state how many 

 parlor car seats they wish. 



Uncle John Wyland has gone to Michi- 

 gan, fishing. 



Gilbert Wenkler, manager of Randolph 



6 McClements' Baum street store, spent 

 his vacation in the mountains above Al- 

 toona. 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, who spent some 

 weeks at Simcoe lake, Canada, has re- 

 turned, looking as if she had bottled up 

 more than her share of health and energy 

 for the coming reason. 



A report of the death of Christian 

 Bieger wUl be found in this week's 

 obituary column. Hoo-Hoo. 



ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



The wholesale market has been quiet 

 of late, and midsummer dullness has set 

 in for good among the retailers, who are 

 doing nothing except funeral work and 

 cleaning up for the opening of the season 

 early next month. Until then, reports 

 from here will be the same as above. 



The same report fits with the whole- 

 salers. They seem to have plenty of 

 stock on hand each morning. Asters in 

 all colors now hold the boards and there 

 sure plenty of them on hand to fill any 

 order that may come in. Beauties from 

 young stock are coming in finely and 

 more than the local trade can use. Other 

 roses, too, are more plentiful. White 

 carnations from the field are coming bet- 

 ter, pink and red poor. There are plenty 

 of lilies in the market, also gladioli and 

 tuberose spikes. Hardy hydrangeas are

By special brand, we mean lilies that have been grown, harvested and packed especially for 

 us. They are the cream of the Bermuda Lily crop, being a Belection of the most uniform bulbs, 

 gathered in districts where the smallest amount (if any) of disease exists. Every year the 

 florists are making greater demands for this particular strain and we advise all to order early.
