PITTSBURGH. 



The Market. 



Pittsburgh is still holding on to 

 cold weather, with little sun, and spring 

 was ushered in with the temperature 

 down to 14 degrees. The result was that 

 there has not been much of an increase 

 in the receipts of cut flowers, just 

 about enough coming in to supply the 

 demand nicely. The cut of lilies is 

 increasing every day and stock of all 

 kinds is fine, especially roses. Beau- 

 ties continue scarce, and not too 

 good, but, to use the language of one 

 man, "there are so many other good 

 things we don't need them." Bulbous 

 stock is fine but not plentiful. The 

 first lot of southern stock arrived last 

 w ek, but was not worth the express 

 charges. Good ferns are scarce and 

 violets are having their own troubles, 

 but all in all the supply and demand 

 are about evenly balanced, which is 

 quite unusual at this season of the 

 year. 



The retailers are beginning to show 

 more blooming plants. One can see 

 a gathering in of baskets intended 

 for plants and a general preparedness 

 for Easter is showing all around. 



Various Notes. 



Ben Elliott says there will be more 

 and better plants offered by the Pitts- 

 burgh growers than ever before at 

 Easter. The John Bader Co. has se- 

 veral houses of azaleas which will be 

 just right, also several houses of 

 primulas and other blooming plants. 

 This concern is doing its best to make 

 come true the prediction that Easter 

 will become a plant day. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. last 

 Week made a delivery of 1,000 strings 

 of plumosus on one order. This is the 

 largest single order the company ever 

 filled. 



Pittsburgh this week opened a new 

 department store, the largest in the 

 city, and it made an unusual demand 

 for flowers, as there were several hun- 

 dred baskets and bunches besides nu- 

 merous horseshoes sent by friends in 

 and out of the city. The opening of 

 the new store stirred up all the older 

 establishments and there were decor- 

 ations for spring openings in all of 

 them, which called for flowers and 

 plants. The John Home Co. spent 

 about $2,000 for the week's floral dec-

orations. That sounds big, but they 

 were doing big things in a big store. 



Fred Burki arrived last week from 

 his trip to Arizona and California, 

 ' coming home to find the temperature 

 near zero. 



Allen Langhans was in the city this 

 week, gathering up his belongings, 

 which he is going to take a little far- 

 ther north and build a new nest, into 

 which we understand he will take a 

 partner. 



The florists want to remember that 

 May 10 is Mother's day. Make this a 

 day for special boxes and relieve the 

 unfillable demand for one color of any 

 one flower. The retailer with just a 

 little tact can do this by suggesting 

 to send a suitable box of assorted 

 flowers. Clarke.
