PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The sesquicentennial week in this city 

 was one continuous round of excitement. 

 The city probably never saw greater 

 crowds. However, besides losing one 

 whole day's business on the day of the 

 parade, the whole week's business was 

 interfered with. With the exception of 

 a few receptions given for some of the 

 more important visitors, the trade did not 

 receive any immediate benefit. 



The general business continues to im- 

 prove, however, and everyone is hopeful. 

 There have been frosts several nights, 

 but not quite enough to kill all the out- 

 side flowers, and, while it may be sel- 

 fish, there are many who think they have 

 lasted long enough this year and should 

 step aside, as chrysanthemums are now 

 here in full blast, including Bergmann, 

 Monrovia, October Sunshine, Polly Rose 

 and Pacific. These, with Beauties, lilies, 

 roses, orchids and carnations, will supply 

 every want, and more if the outside stock 

 does not disappear. 



Sunday, October 4, was like a day in 

 June. The parks were crowded with

people and the plants looked much bet- 

 ter than one would expect. Now,, these 

 conditions must stop before the trade 

 will be right. The retail stores all admit 

 that their regular trade, outside of funer- 

 al work, is improving from day to day, 

 and they are awaiting the time when 

 people cannot go out and get a little 

 bunch in their gardens to keep their 

 tables presentable. 



Sesquicentennial Week, 



The florists all put on a good front 

 for the holiday week. Mrs. E. A. Will- 



Lams ' store particularly attracted atten- 

 tion, being handsomely festooned witli 

 laurel and decorated with flags outside, 

 but the window was the piece de re- 

 sistance, being artistically arranged with 

 yellow crotons, a vase of yellow oncidium 

 and a background of cibotium. As yel- 

 low and black were the city's colors, the 

 display attracted more than ordinary at- 

 tention and interest. 



A. W. Smith also made a handsome 

 outside decoration of yellow and black, 

 with American flags, and had his win- 

 dows appropriately trimmed. There
