PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



The" last week was one that will 

 probably be remembered for a long 

 time. The first half was rainy and 

 cold, which prevented people from 

 planting. Then the rush came, in the 

 last three days, and an effort was made 

 to supply all demands for plants, but 

 this* was impossible. Anything in bloom 

 was what was wanted and such stock 

 was not plentiful, but there were thou- 

 sands of plants sold with only a speck 

 of bloom. 



Saturday night found all plantsmen 

 about worn out, but as it looks as if 

 there might be better weather, they 

 will likely finish such work this week. 



Among the cut flower men business 

 was satisfactory. Early in the week 

 much of the stock was nat good, but 

 m the latter part of the week there 

 were immense quantities of everything. 

 There were elegant roses and the ear- 

 nations were abundant and good. 

 Peonies were in better shape than 

 usual and lilies were never finer. 

 Everything was cleaned up, but at rea- 

 sonable prices. People would buy if 

 they could get good stock at a reason- 

 able price, but passed up anything for 

 which a fancy price was asked. Yet, 

 taken all in all, it was a most satisfac- 

 tory Decoration day from the whole- 

 salers' standpoint. 



The retailers, of course, were more 

 than busy, with plants and cut flowers 

 together, and all admit that it was a 

 good Decoration day. They found their 

 customers wanted cheap flowers, but 

 the volume of sales was satisfactory. 



The immense quantities of outside 

 flowers, aside from keeping the prices 

 down, did not interfere with green- 

 house stock, as everything was sold. 



Various Notes. 



Charles Koenig was there with the 

 lilies for Decoration day, and the Pitts- 

 burg Cut Flower Co., which handles his 

 stock, was able to take care of all de- 

 mands along this line. 



P. S. Randolph has purchased a Buick 

 touring car. 



Fred Burki has turned his horses out 

 to pasture and bought a fine, big tour- 

 ing car, from which he expects to de- 

 rive much pleasure this summer.
