PITTSBURG. 



The Market 



One would say that there was a slight 

 improvement in trade last week, but the 

 enormous quantities of stock coming in 

 keep the wholesale house filled up. As- 

 ters seem to be the principal trouble 

 makers; they are here by the wagon-load, 

 with roses a good second, but it is hoped 

 that the worst is over. 



We have not had a good rain since 

 the last of May and as a result some 

 of the growers are feeling alarmed about 

 their water supply, and everything out- 

 side is burned up. But that September 

 frost is now due, so it does not make 

 much difference. 



Various Notes. 



A mistake was made last week in giv- 

 ing credit for the W. C. Beckert prize 

 on vegetables at the club. I should have 

 said Mr. Lillie, gardener for Mr. Barns- 

 dale. 



Pittsburg has been spoken of as the 

 place where they get high prices for 

 cut flowers. If this ever were true, it 

 certainly is not at this time, as flowers 

 are sold, both wholesale and retail, as 

 cheap here as in any city in the country. 



There are more and better carnations 

 being received than ever known before so 

 early in the year. The growers in this 

 section are all planting inside as early 

 as they can get their houses in shape. 



Harris Bros., who conducted the prin- 

 cipal strex>t stand on Fifth avenue, 

 have been crowded out of business, the 

 First National bank not allowing a flow- 

 er stand on the property. Hoo-Hoo. 



East Kochester, X. H. — Elihu A. 

 ("orson lias had new heating apparatus 

 installed in his greenhouses on Autumn 

 street. 



FAR(iO, X. D. — A sun dial has been 

 erected on the lawn of the Shotwell 

 Floral Co., just east of the X'orthern Pa- 

 cific railroad station, and is attracting 

 much attention. 



.Tane.sville, Wis. — C. G. Dwiglit built 

 .3U,(M)0 feet of glass last spring, for 

 roses and carnations for the wholesale 

 trade. He is now cutting sofiie good 

 roses and finds trade fair.
