In u recent letter from Hamburg, 

 Germany, H. N. Bruns says the ocean 

 voyage was quite enjoyable and the 

 weather ideal. He reports: "I have 

 looked into the valley district around 

 Hamburg and things look pretty good. 

 I believe we will have an especially 

 good crop this season, even if not a 

 heavy one." Mr. Bruns and family e.x- 

 ])ected to visit Berlin, Leipzig and Dres- 

 den before returning. 



Peter Weiler says the Superior Ma- 

 chine & Boiler Works is rushed with 

 work, much of it being special made-to- 

 order jobs.

The Market. 



Plenty of ail sorts of outdoor flowers 

 are to be bought at one's own prices. 

 Asters are plentiful, especially the col- 

 ored ones, but white are the only ones 

 which find ready sale. Kveryone grows 

 gladioli ami some of the finest ones are 

 ])roduced right here in close proximity 

 to our city. 



Roses of excellent quality are being 

 sent in by our local growers. No one 

 grows Beauties in this territory, this 

 market drawing its supply from far- 

 ther east. They are quite good and 

 meet with fair demand. Valley is not 

 plentiful. Fine local orchids are to be 

 had at reasonable ])rices. Lilies are 

 again more plentiful. 



Various Notes. 



George Burke, superintendent Bureau 

 of Parks, and his assistant, John Jones, 

 are to be congratulated on the beautiful 

 plantings of beds and shrubbery at 

 Schenley and Highland ])arks.

 about 250,000 citizens who i)ermitted 

 themselves to be annexed to Pittsburgh 

 some years ago, at one time the bon- 

 ton section of its sister city. Here we 

 find Brother James Moore and his as- 

 sistant in charge of the park sj'stem, 

 and their skill and artistic work in 

 carpet bedding, etc., are the talk of the 

 community. The plantings here are the

Some weeks ago the writer had the 

 pleasure of accompanying his business 

 partner (truly a pleasure, for he is not 

 a dead one yet) on a visit to the last 

 place we wish to go to — the ceme- 

 tery. It is a spot dear to Willie 

 Clarke; many a green knoll on which he 

 gamboled when a kid nigh some fifty 

 years ago is now dotted with beautiful 

 mausoleums, making it today one of 

 the grandest burial grounds in the coun-
