PITTSBUBaH. 



Tbe Market. 



We have spring weather and there 

 is plenty of stock of all kinds, but no 

 glut. Everything seems to go, even if 

 prices are not much. General business 

 might be called fair and, in the face 

 of the awful weather we have had, it 

 is wonderful. With a few more good 

 days the growers will get their nelds 

 in condition and their planting done. 



Various Notes. 



The Florists' Club is arranging to 

 hold a banquet in May at the Fort 

 Pitt hotel. There will be other doings 

 in connection with it and a good time 

 is anticipated. At the last meeting, 

 the matter of affiliation with the S. A. 

 F. was brought up by the vice-presi- 

 dent for western Pennsylvania, but it 

 was hard to get anyone enthused. 



Geo. W. Marshall, who opened a 

 wholesale house on Sandusky street 

 just before Easter, has joined his 

 forces with the McCallum Co. Mr. 

 Marshall will have charge of the cut 

 flower end of the business. 



John Wyland, of Allison Park, has 

 the sincere sympathy of his host of 

 friends in the loss of his wife. Mrs. 

 Wyland was 71 years of age. The fu- 

 neral took place April 29. This is the 

 third death in the family in a short 

 time. Mr. Wyland buried his son, 

 George, just three weeks ago, and 

 shortly before the _ holidays lost a 

 daughter. 



Mrs. Fred Burki left April 20 for 

 Tucson, Ariz. She will probably bring 

 back her son, Frederick, who went 

 there some time ago for his health. 



Eay Page, auditor for the Pittsburgh 

 Cut Flower Co., is on the sick list. 



Wm. Lowe, better known as "Billy 

 Flowers" to almost everyone in the 

 trade, celebrated his fiftieth birthday 

 anniversary last week and tried hard 

 to impress on everyone that he is get- 

 ting younger every day. 



The usual great scarcity of smilax is 

 felt in this market. Every spring finds 

 us in this condition. Why don't some 

 of the smilax growers arrange for a 

 spring cropt It will earn more money 

 than at any other time in the year. 



There was less southern stock sent 

 into this market this season than for 

 several years. 



Karl Klinke, of the McCallum Co., 

 sailed April 23 on the steamer Amerika 

 for his old home in Germany to spend 

 a portion of the summer. Clarke. 



Toronto, Ont. — A. Gilchrist has sold 

 all his property for building purposes 

 and retired from the greenhouse busi- 

 ness. He has moved to Guelph/ Ont.

 11 the METROPOLITAN PATENTED is. 



you would use no other. It is made of 

 cast iron and will not rust. That iMirt of 

 your greenhouse which in other constructions 

 is the weakest becomes the strongest. Not 

 this alone, it is ice-clearing and carries all 

 the water of condensation from the inside, 

 and it is so constructed that almost the entire end 

 of the bar is exposed to the air, thereby preventing 

 decay. Only one screw, about two inches from the 

 end, is all that is necessary to secure the bars. For 

 side stationary glass, wood headers are absolutely 

 unnecessary, thereby causing no sha^e. Zinc glass 

 stops are not necessary— the eave is made with a lug 

 to prevent the glass from slipping. Let your next 

 house be built with a Matropelltan Patontod 

 Iron Wall Construction. You will never regret 

 it. Our price and service are right.
