PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



While trade seems to be extremely 

 quiet, the reports from the retail stores 

 would indicate that business last month 

 was slightly better than in July of last 

 year. 



There are quantities of flowers in the 

 market at present, including Beauties, 

 roses, lilies, asters and gladioli. Asters 

 are here in quantity, but not quality, 

 and probably there will be no good ones 

 until the late ones arrive. 



This section is sadly in need of rain 

 and, if it does not arrive soon, there 

 will be big losses on all late crops. Corn 

 and potatoes are suffering now and' 

 market gardeners who are not equippe^ , 

 for watering are in bad shape. 



Various Notes. 



F. H. Westhoff, at Allison park, is 

 putting up a new carnation house. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. has 

 finished planting its last house of car- 

 nations and the stock looks fine. Boses 

 are also in good shape for this season 

 of the year. 



If all in this city who are making in- 

 quiries, and are expecting to attend the 

 S. A. F. convention, really go, Pittsburg 

 will have a big delegation. There prob- 

 ably never was as much enthusiasm. 

 Someone says the boys have more 

 money than usual. 



James Higgins, of Mrs. E. A. Will- 

 iams' force, will leave, accompanied by 

 his wife, for a vacation in the east, 

 where he will visit his old home and 

 meet his many friends. 



John Walker, of Youngstown, O., 

 spent several days in the city. William 

 Diamond, head salesman for Mr. 

 Walker, is also spending his vacation in 

 this vicinity. 



E. C. Ludwig and his son, De Forrest, 

 will be among the convention attend- 

 ants; also Ben Elliott, Howard Carney, 

 John Jones and William Loew. These 

 are boosters and are only a few of the 

 crowd who expect to go. 



T. P. Langhans is back at his post, 

 looking much improved on account of 

 his vacation, and you need not believe 

 his fish stories if not so disposed. 



George Marshall changed color while 

 camping at the lakes and is being 

 passed up by strangers, who take him 

 for the porter. 



W. H. Jaqueth, Rock Creek, O., has 

 been a visitor for several days. 



Ernest Zieger, who has been in Ger- 

 many since Easter,. i$ back with us,
