PITTSBXJEG. 



The Market. 



Pittsburg people are the greatest in 

 the world for taking vacations. The 

 fact that there are few cities in which 

 the people live more strenuous lives 

 may have something to do with this. 

 At any rate, about everyone who has 

 any money is out of the city, no one 

 is left to buy flowers and the only 

 sales that are being made are funeral 

 orders. However, there is a better day 

 coming and the growers are get- 

 ting their stock ready for it. Most of 

 the growers are getting things into 

 shape for fall and their stock is look- 

 ing good — some of it excellent. Some 

 fine asters and gladioli are coming 

 into the market — about all that is nec- 

 essary — and roses are improving right 

 along, so there is no trouble from this 

 so^rce. 



Various Notes. 



Jarve Smith is the happy father of 

 a new son, 



George Learzaf, of Mount Washing- 

 ton, hit a patrol wagon with his auto, 

 but outside of throwing the driver off 

 the wagon, putting him to bed for a 

 couple of days and smashing the lamps 

 on his machine, there was no harm 

 done. 



Miss Forbes, of the Misses Forbes & 

 Donahey, Wheeling, W. Va., has just 

 returned from an auto trip through 

 Michigan. 



A. W. Smith, Jr., and J. W. Smith 

 spent last week at their greenhouses at 

 Canfield, O. J. W. Smith will remain 

 there for some time, to arrange for the 

 cleaning up of the fall work. 



L. B. West and daughter are visit- 

 ing Atlantic City and Philadelphia. 



Miss Nora Noonan is back from At- 

 lantic City, 



Joseph A. Koenig and Miss Margaret 

 Noonan were married August 22 and 

 are spending their honeymoon in the 

 east. Hoo-Hoo. 



Stamford, Conn. — H. E. Le Page is one 

 of the largest growers at wholesale and 

 retail in this section, annually forcing 

 thousands of bulbs that are never put 

 on the bench. His chrysanthemums are 

 looking fine. He considers southern 

 grown single narcissi far supe- 

 rior to Holland stock, but gives Dutch 

 Von Sion the preference. The nursery 

 branch is increasing steadily and satis- 

 factorily,

 GREENHOUSE HOSE 



What our mark on hose means 



"Hamilton-Made" means superior quality in general and onc 

 thing in particular* The ''one thing in particular" is this: 



On every length of "Hamilton-Made" hose you will notice a 

 mark not found on any other hose — "Guaranteed 750 poxmds 

 pressure," or 700 or 500, etc., according to the grade. On our 

 "Hamilton" brand every length has been tested under pressure 

 of 750 pounds to the square inch. Any piece showing defect is 

 rejected. 750 pounds is five times the usual pressure in 

 steam boilers* Think of it ! Do you wonder that this hose 

 is strong; that it is stiff and will not kink ? 



"Hamilton" brand, our highest grade hose, selling at 25 cents 

 a foot, will last three to five years under ordinary greenhouse use; 

 it will stand three or four times as much wear as common hose. 



As often happens, the liigli grade is the ciieapest* 



Under the same brands and of the same excellent qaallties, we make 

 ■*■*'■ Hose for Suction, for Steam Service and for Spraying. 



All made eapeclally for the service to be doiM and satisfaetioB gaar.

low to get the best hose that 

 is made 



COME jobbers in Florists' Supplies do not sell 

 •^ the highest-grade Greenhouse hose. They 

 argue that everybody wants low-priced hoee. 

 We know better, for we know that our stiff, 

 strong, tough "Hamilton" brand hose is really 

 the cheapest of all, and that many wise buy- 

 ers will be glad to get it. We therefore make 

 this offer to all who cannot buy it of a dealer : 



If your dealer does not keep it, we wUl 

 deliver to ron anywhere in the United 

 ■States. PREPAID. 50-foot lengths of 

 »4-inch "HAMILTON" brand, our high- 

 est crade Greenhouse hose, complete 

 with standard brass conpllnrs, for the 

 recalar price. $12.50 EACH I.ENGTH. 



This splendid boie stands a pressure of 750 

 poonds to the xioare inch, and while it is 

 our highest-priced Oreenhonse hose, it lasts so 

 long that it is really the cheapest hose mad*. 



If hose of sach extremely higrh resistance Is 

 not required, we will send =>4 Inch KENMOBE 

 (guaranteed 650 pounds) at $10.50, or 34-lnoh 

 CTONET (500 pounds) at $8.00 for GO-foot 

 lengths. Shipped same day order Is received,
