LA GRANGE, ILL. 



The La Grange Floral & Seed Co, 

 opened a store in the new Pillinger build- 

 ing, at the corner of Fifth and Harris 

 avenue, February 15. They will handle 

 cut flowers, plants, seeds, etc. The firm 

 is composed of Mrs. A. Scott as presi- 

 dent, A. W. Baker, secretary, and Walter 

 Scott, manager. 



Mr. Scott, the manager, has been in 

 business in La Grange for several years 

 as a landscape gardener, and his services 

 are in great demand by Hinsdale, La 

 Grange and Biverside citizens. 



PITTSBUEG. 



The Market 



The general business conditions in 

 this city are not improving as rapidly 

 as was expected or hoped for, and the 

 cut flower business is no exception. Dur- 

 ing December things seemed to brighten 

 considerably and it was thought the worst 

 was over, but January did not come up 

 to expectations by any means. While 

 the cut of flowers was short almost all 

 the month, it was no great hardship, as 

 had there been even a fair cut there 

 would have been little use for them. 

 However, the trade generally are hopeful 

 and predict better things later. 



The four wholesale houses here con- 

 tinue to get rid of what stock is com- 

 ing in without much trouble, but they 

 are cautious about asking fancy prices, 

 and there is still plenty of stock for the 

 street stands. 



Lilies, valley, tulips, Trumpet narcissi 

 and violets are the most plentiful flow- 

 ers. There are just about enough Beau- 

 ties and roses to go around, with orchids, 

 lilacs and carnations about right. Every- 

 one is taking things easy and hoping 

 for an improvement. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Florists' Club met Tuesday even- 

 ing, with a good crowd of enthusiastic 

 members present. President Burki and 

 W. A. Clarke, the only members who at- 

 tended the carnation convention, reported 

 the convention a success in every way, 

 the arrangements perfect in every de- 

 tail, the courtesies shown the visitors 

 more than was expected, and a mark set
