The Market. 



Fine summer weather, with the gera- 

 nium beds still in full bloom, the frost 

 only reaching the tender plants, is not 

 conducive to business, but there still is 

 something doing right along. The whole- 

 sale houses seem to clean up reasonably 

 well every day, but prices are not satis- 

 factory, the principal idea seeming to be 

 to never miss a sale. 



Mums are the ruUng flower. Beauties 

 are next, with enough for everybody. 

 Roses are getting better every day and 

 are never short in supply. Carnations 

 are reaching all the way around since 

 mums have become plentiful. Violets 

 are going begging; the hot weather is

The retail stores all seem to be busy, 

 but their trade, as a rule, is for cheaper 

 stock; high prices are prohibitive in 

 every instance and good stock was never 

 sold so cheap.

Superintendent Geo. Burke and Fore-

George Moore, superintendent of the 

 North Side park, is arranging his show 

 and says there are others in the show 

 business besides Schenley. 



Mrs. E. A, Williams had several hand-

 grapes were used on a larger table elicit- 

 ea favorable comment. . ,,
